Fiftie’s Diner’s homemade burgers certainly cannot be ignored on their menu. A burger is not just about the patty itself, it’s the toppings that give it its identity.

Or, check out their Elvis Burger, which has an assortment of different cheeses, bacon, red onions, and special dijon sauce.

Narenj

No Comments

Narenj is a classy Persian cafe with a soothing botanical atmosphere. It should be easy to spot since it’s a much more refined-looking establishment compared to the rest of Kerr Street. With their wide selection of breakfasts, brunch, and pastries, a good time at Narenj will have you feeling like a whole new person.

Brunch at Narenj will have you ready to take on the day. Their croissants are made with halva, which is a thick Persion confection made from Tahini. Halva is baked into the croissant to give it a rich, nutty sweetness. It’s the perfect wake-up pastry, so why not pair it with the perfect wake-up drink? Their original Narenj Tea is served with a crystallised saffron sugar-stick intended to stir your tea. As it dissolves, a beautiful aroma is produced.

Shakshouka is a delightfully savoury dish made from poaching a healthy amount of eggs in a special tomato sauce. It’s also the main course of Narenj’s brunches. Shakshouka is always served with either pita or bread, since it acts as a sort of dip. Their original shakshouka has 3 poached eggs in their eggs topped with pickles and zaatar. However, if you’re feeling adventurous, you could try their Brisket Shakshouka topped with pomegranate molasses, fried halloumi and beef brisket.

Got a sweet tooth? Narenj has an amazing lineup of handmade pastries perfect to go with your tea, or as dessert. Check out their creamy Strawberry Tart as shown in the picture below.

If you simply can’t get enough of their pastries, you can order curbside pickup. A box containing an assortment of pastries will be prepared, ready for you to enjoy at home.

 

Narenj isn’t only for brunch! They also have an exclusive menu only available after 1 PM. This menu contains Persian sandwiches, salads, and loaded plates. Additionally, they had Afternoon High Tea on Sundays. This fancy weekly event is in a proper setting, with delightful tea, pastries, and savoury bites. Additionally, music will be performed by local artists. It’s quite the delightful experience.

Fruit Pancakes

If you’re looking for a place for a classic Brunch in South Burlington, Skyway Diner is the place to go.

Skyway Diner takes pride in their buttermilk pancakes as their speciality. These sweet, fluffy, warm delights are sure to brighten up your morning. What more, you’ll find it common on weekends for there to be a limited time special pancake offered. These can range from all sorts of flavours, like Strawberry Chocolate, Birthday Cake and Peach Cream.

 

Of course, it wouldn’t be a satisfying breakfast if it was just pancakes. This is Skyway Diner’s classic platter, which serves two eggs, home fries, and a choice of protein along with your choice of pancake, waffle, or french toast. Additionally, you’ll have access to a pitcher of syrup and butter for you to freely drown your meal in.

If you’re looking for Lunch, an incredibly popular option at Skyway Diner is their Bacon Cheeseburgers. An 8 ounce patty of fresh Canadian beef, pickles, bacon, cheese and fried onions served on a brioche bun with spicy mayo. Along with a side of fresh cut fries, it’ll leave your stomach growling in anticipation.

 

Pancakes, eggs, and burgers are the classic breakfast items, but they certainly aren’t all the Skyway Diner offers. Their menu is actually incredibly expansive, dwelling into pastas, souvlaki, steak, porkchops, and ribs. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, so Skyway Diner is in no means just a brunch spot. We recommended trying out their sticky, fall-off-the-bone ribs, which are served with creamy coleslaw and crispy fries.
