Swan Restaurant - grrrrrrreat brunch!

It isn't that often that I venture west of Portland, but last Sunday, I found myself rather hungover and seeking some much needed brunch.  Little did I know, I was a few blocks away from what is apparently, a Toronto landmark, located on Queen West..... the Swan Restaurant.  So I've been told.....this hot-spot, has been serving-up fresh eats for over ten years. Who knew?

Cute? Retro? Nostalgic? Antique heaven? However you want to describe it, Swan not only has an old-school trendy environment, but also has quality food (or at least brunch) that will keep me coming back for more.  Sit at the bar or wait for a table, the Cesar's are big and strong! I should also mention that each cup of coffee is made solo - hello euro style - and extremely tasty. So really, forget about the eats, who doesn't like waking up to some vodka, coffee and a paper?
 
 

 
All that said, Swan serves up excellent food with a rather odd (or perhaps not), combination of plates.  From your standard French Toast or Poached Eggs, to a yummy Huevos Rancheros or Eggs w/ Smoked Oysters and Pancetta. Can't say I've tried them all, but certainly recommend them all.
 
 

 
Advanced warning - you and your crew will inevitably have to wait for a table.... I can't comment on dinner options.... and the hash browns are mediocre at best.... but all that said, if you live in the area, check this place out, its worth it....
