Another breakfast bonanza

Darlene and I returned to Thomson's restaurant today for breakfast to give it a try after ignoring it for many years. Thomson's is part of the Hyatt Regency hotel downtown and can also be accessed off Stephen Avenue Mall. It's not a cheap place to eat, but I remembered the quality being superb. They have an a-la-carte menu (til 11am) or you can try the buffet and omelet bar (til 1pm). Darlene tried the Cinnamon Bun French Toast with pecans and blueberries (she asked to hold the blueberries). I had the Breakfast in a Basket which is basically a fried egg, cheddar and ham sandwich on a very nice pumpernickle toast with oven-roasted potatoes and sauteed onions. It was excellent. I can't wait to go back and try what Darlene had. If parking is an issue for you, here's a secret - you can park in the Hyatt parkade for free. Just tell the lot attendant what you're up to on the way in and ask the server for a parking voucher (Minimum $20 order).
