Brad's Takeout + Eatery

A new gem of the Roncesvalles Village, Brad's Takeout + Eatery is described as bright and cheery and full of satisfied repeat diners. A staple of the weekend brunch crowd, known for high quality and friendly staff. Described as relaxed, in comfortable attire and won't put on airs here, probably because of a lack of soundtrack or commercial radio. Everyone smiles and works in perfect harmony and balance.

Food served at brunch ranges from yummy made from scratch pancakes with simple yet refined toppings to esoteric breakfast croissant sandwiches and St. Urbain bagels complete with lox, cream cheese and all the accoutrements. Wash it down with a strong cup of Fair Trade organic coffee. There are no short cuts to quality here, you won't go hungry or unsatisfied. You'll come back many times; and given Roncesvalles Village's strong European presence, you'll notice a unique flare to Brad's food.

Tables for two can easily be converted into tables of four or more for family friendly eating. You won't need to worry about bringing your yellow pages, Brad's offers high chairs for your toddlers and well thought out chairs. The kid's menu is engaging and practical. Parents will notice the room for the baby buggy and rounded tables with safety in mind. But don't worry about space, Brad has three distinct dining rooms, each with their own character. The window seat for two opens up in the summer to the world, or sit under the stars and enjoy the skylight view.

Come for brunch, and you'll find yourself wanting to try Brad's lunch and dinner offerings. Juicy fall apart Texas BBQ brisket served on a variety of fresh, local Fred's Breads, with fries or salad. For the more health wise diner, go for the Maple Mustard Roasted Salmon Fillet or the free range Roasted Chicken Breast in a lemon-garlic-herb au-jus. Of course there's always a vegetarian option. A selection of fine wines and bottled beers and a desert selection that is simply decadent.
