Rumpelstiltskin's

'You feed the madness and it feeds on you.' Sorry. Couldn't help throwing in a very fitting quote from Robert Carlyle's character, Rumplestiltskin, on the televison show 'Once Upon A Time.' In some ways, this quote is on par with my addiction to eggs Benedict!

I digress, Rumpelstilskin's is a great place for brunch. It over looks St. John's harbour, it's delicious, and did I mention it's cheap? That's right folks $8.99 will get you eggs benny, hashbrowns, and a coffee! Can you say, 'deal?' I've gone to Rumpelstilskin's a few times for brunch, and a word to the wise, make a reservation, especially if you want a window seat or you're going on a Sunday! 

By the looks of that photo, it doesn't appear you're getting a lot of food - don't be fooled, I was very satisfied with the portion, again, for only $8.99! The hashbrowns were delicious, crispy and not over seasoned. The eggs benny has a slight twist, instead of an English muffin, you receive a croissant with ham, poached egg, and hollandaise. My only criticism: my eggs were not poached soft, they were closer to medium, so I missed that little extra yolk. The hollandaise was yummy and creamy, and you can even see what appears to be cayenne pepper flakes if you look closely. If I had to guess, the hollandaise is made in house. 

So. What do score do I give Rumpelstilskin's? I'm giving them a 4.5/5. If only those eggs were poached soft, they may have gotten a perfect score! I encourage all to make a reservation, and head downtown for brunch. Make sure to order a side of hollandaise for dipping those hashbrowns - it's worth it!
