Humphrys

Humphry's is a small sports bar in downtown-west. It's usually packed during a Montreal Canadians game, but it's nice and quaint for a Sunday brunch. I headed to Humphry's to try their eggs benny, and I must say, I did enjoy the atmosphere. The server was really nice, and brought our drink order pretty quickly. Then, we waited, and we waited. Eventually our server came over to say that they ran out of hollandaise, so we could wait 15 minutes for them to make more or reorder something else, so we waited, and waited some more. Finally, it arrived. Bonus, I definitely know they make their hollandaise in house!


The hashbrowns were nicely flavoured, but they were a bit too crispy, which was sad, because the flavour was great (when I say crispy, I mean I sent a few flying off my plate when I tried to spear them with my fork). The eggs were poached soft, and ham was good, but as you can see from the photo, the hollandaise wasn't as creamy as I prefer, but it was made fresh! Humphry's uses quite a bit of pepper though, the hollandaise and hashbrowns had a very black pepper-esque flavouring. You can even see specks of black pepper in the hollandaise. 

Due to wait time, a runny hollandaise and super crispy hashbrowns, I'm not sure if I would pay $12.95 for this meal again, but it definitely wasn't the worst eggs benny I've had. I'm going to give Humphry's a 2.5/5.  Oh and Humphry's, I'll see you for a few hockey games in the fall!
