You know you’re in for a real treat brave the cold to wait outside a restaurant before it even opens. These were my exact thoughts when I arrived 5 minutes before Saturday Dinette opened and found several people to accompany me. My friend Anna had been planning our brunch date for about 2 weeks, and were giddy with excitement to try this little joint which had too much hype around it to ignore.
The doors finally opened at 10am sharp, and people flooded in. I had my eyes on the prize: the table by the window with the best lighting, and that’s exactly where I plopped down. Anna joined me shortly, and before we knew it, we were presented with plates of food that looked so delicious, it would make bloggers forget about taking pictures… almost.
Herbed Poached Eggs for Anna. Poached eggs served on a bed of green pea mash and topped off with a glaze. Absolutely delicious.
My dish was something so spectacular that I can’t seem to look at a picture of it without salivating.
‘Shrooms on Toast. Now I’ve had mushrooms and eggs on toast, but never before have I tasted something so flavourful. The mushrooms and spinach were perfectly sautéed, the egg was a no-brainer, but the wow factor was the lavender ricotta which gave the dish a new dimension of flavour.
We ended with the buckwheat pancakes, because you’d be a fool to ignore a dish that involved salted popcorn. Need I say more?
If you’re looking to truly be wowed, I couldn’t recommend Saturday Dinette more. However, it’s small and fills up fast, so be sure to get there as soon as it opens!
Looks amazing! Popcorn on pancakes, I have never seen that before! Thanks for sharing your fun brunching adventure. Xo, Ellese
