I'm trying to get back into blogging locally and so this time around I wanted to take you to my adventures last Saturday. I'm also trying something different by adding a video with today's post (and to be honest, I do share more details of my adventures in there than all the still photos).

One of the newest gems in the city is the recently opened breakfast and lunch spot, Clementine. From the same owners of my favourite local restaurant (Segovia), Clementine shares the same concept of serving small-plate dishes for their brunch menu. The restaurant is located in the Exchange District and they have done a great job making the ambiance inside very inviting amidst being positioned in the basement of a building. Interior wise, I couldn't help but gush over the entrance mural, the open kitchen concept and the communal dining tables. The food? I have to be honest and say that my expectations were high since I clearly love their 'sister' restaurant Segovia. Clementine certainly does not disappoint by one bit. The boy and I had their Belgian waffles, Turkish eggs and Chicken & Toast; And all three are as good (if not better) as how they look in the pictures above. The best part for me is that they are open 7 days a week and as early as 7am on weekdays -- something downtown needs. I'm currently dreaming of tasting more dishes from their menu so obviously I can't wait to go back to Clementine!
