Brunch Life

I have been doing some home workouts since late summer of 2024. You know, I am at a stage where I have to watch my numbers...the ones that your family doctors check to evaluate your state of well-being...

But...I'd never stop dining out, it's my first way to celebrate, I have always been a food-oriented person

Before 2024 concluded, I celebrated my few hours of being child-free by treating myself to brunch at Cafe Medina. Known for its long lineups and liege waffles, this is one of the places I hope would survive the pandemic, thankfully they did. 

Les Boulletes - Lamb Meatballs 
My favourites are Les Boulletes, Liege waffle with lavender chocolate sauce, and Lavender Latte - the main reason for my visit.

Unfortunately that day, I could barely taste the lavender in their latte, but the chocolate-lavender dip for the liege waffle made up for the minor shortcoming.

Fast forward to January 2025, I had the opportunity to try the new brunch place near my home. Banette opened in mid-December 2024 in Uptown New Westminster, they offer a mix of brunch and baked goods. The first visit was with my dear daughter when we went out to do some errands, we just wanted a light meal so we split a Caesar salad and canelé, and I was so impressed with both of them that I decided to try to come back as soon as possible to try their other offers, 
Below is the photo of Avocado French Toast. I like how Banette uses a black plate and a touch of edible flowers to elevate their brunch presentation. I don't normally order French toast at brunch places but I miss having avocado as dessert which is something I rarely see in most brunch places here in Metro Vancouver where avocados are normally seen in smoothies, salads, guacamoles, and toasts with poached eggs.

I have been thinking about food again...I guess it's time to do the home workouts to make space for the next round of brunching!
