I’d heard a fair amount of good things about the Gun Shop Cafe at West End from a number of people and thanks to Sarah, was finally able to experience all these good things today. Try to get past all the things that might actually detract from your experience such as having to wait for a table (they do not take bookings) and the not-so-attentive wait-staff because the food is definitely worth it. The menu was a simple, printed menu, something that we all joked about (maybe hoping) it being an indicator that they changed regularly. <\/p>\n


\nThe meals are a decent price and all five of us who went came out feeling quite full. Mike had the three cheese omelette (apparently a bit too much cheese even for him), Dan had the Canadian style French Toast (it comes with Bacon and Maple Syrup), Ben had the bacon, mushrooms, tomato and turkish bread served with pesto while Sarah and I had the French Toast served with a Berry Compote and fresh Organic Yogurt. The compote was a bit on the sickeningly sweet side, but with the yogurt and the french toast helped to balance it out. We all tried out a side Hash Cake which Sarah had recommended and it was an excellent addition to the breakfast. What a great way to start a Saturday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
