I asked the server (very nice girl) what I could have that was fast and told her how long I had. She recommended the crepe or french toast, I chose the crepe. A few minutes later she served me ... oh my god! I have never seen a crepe like that! If I can describe this perfect basket, crispy on the edges, crepy in the middle, in this elaborate twist with all kind of fresh fruit and yogurt and granola... what can I say, I am a sucker for pretty food.
What was also nice was that I had plenty of time to eat my meal, drink a couple of cups of coffee, pay, and be on time to my meeting. The service was great, and it wasnt that expensive.
So yeah, recommend

Yeah, it must have been one of the first "foreign language" songs to reach high on the pop charts: Voulez-vous couchez avec moi / C'est soir? followed by "wicked" New Orleans "pretty baby" talk (something about "itchy-itchy blah-blah something" -- that's what it sounded like). Itchy-itchy? Oh well, it was a song about sex for sale...Its a song by Labelle.

"Lady Marmalade"... sounds like a euphamism for something....
This is from the Lady Marmalade video, a song in Moulin Rouge:

Hey girl,
My partner and I had another stellar breakfast there on Canada Day. Our server named Keah, who is in this months EAT, was awesome.
Thanks again.
Ps. The new Fernwood coffee at LM is the best "drip" coffee in any restaurant in town (my opinion only). Nice and bold!

I had high hopes but the food left a lot to be desired. For $10 I had a meal consisting of a plate with 1/3 bean dip, 1/3 rice (the texture and taste seemed like it was prepared the day before and reserved that morning), and 1/3 scrambled eggs with chorizo sausage. Tortilla chips were also served.
A bit of a strange combination of ingredients that tried to fuse together, but there was a lack of a good chefs touch.

They had a successful eatery so they closed it. All those folks who opened and closed places because they couldn't make a go of it must be envious.

Does anyone know if it was put up for sale at any point? 10 years in suggests that they went through two 5-year lease terms. Could the landlord have increased the rent? Are there other plans for the space that are favoured over a restaurant?

I heard through the grapevine the landlords jacked the lease way up so they decided to retire the restaurant.
