Le Select... la seule choix pour brunch


Inside the front section of Le Select

After a failed non-attempt at homemade brunch, upon Big Red's suggestion we turned our attention to a French gourmet bistro to see how it should be done.  What a fantastic way to start a misty rain-filled weekend!  Nestled on Rue Wellington just west of Spadina Avenue is Le Select Bistro: the closest Parisian-inspired haunt this side of the Atlantic, as quoted on their website. Fresh croissants are served and kind unpretentious servers are at the ready to serve and even explain the menu, its locavore philosophy and of course to refil your cup of joe.  Munching on a Croque Madame (French toast ham and cheese sandwich with extra cheese and fried egg) served with veritable frites and Eggs Benedict with Asparagus Spears inspired the travel-inflected conversation.  Hmmmmm.... don't forget to book a reservation, walk-ins are most welcome however to avoid the wait, telephonez s'il vous plait!  Open for lunch, dinner and even a drink later on (this bistro was once the ending scene of an interesting date once upon a time by yours truly.....)  Enjoy their offerings here: http://www.leselect.com/  I promise, it's parfait!
