Cora’s

French-Canadian breakfast and lunch chain, Steeles and Dufferin location.

I had the french toast with bacon. The bacon could have been crispier for my liking. The french toast, not very eggy but the batter had cinnamon. Most restaurants don’t put cinnamon on their french toast. This place did.

Unfortunetely the service was awful. It took far too long to get somebody to take my order. Sure, the place was busy and I had to wait about five minutes to be seated, but once seated, I had to wait even longer to get somebody to ask me if I’d like a drink or something. I wasn’t tucked away in a corner or anything like that either. I was right up front, watching the wait staff lounge around talking to each other, not working.

It was the one person I did not see lounge around who eventually came by to say “Has anybody taken your order yet?” To which I replied “No” so he could say “Well, what can I get you?” This one waiter seemed to be doing all the work while everybody else lolly-gagged.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: nothing says French like good food and being rude to people.
