Makin’ Bacon
There’s nothing like bacon to cure what ails you, but we like to see it served up with a bit of style.
Ham is definitely on the menu at Le Gros Jambon Diner in Old Montreal, where even the plates and pepper shakers have a pig theme. You’ll eat like an oinker, too, with delicious brunch specials like herbed eggs benedict served on a parmesan biscuit ($14.50) and to-die-for pumpkin cinnamon pancakes drizzled with brown butter and bacon caramel ($11.50). The dinner menu features upscale takes on casse-croute faves, like a lobster grilled cheese ($10), duck confit mac n’ cheese, as well as creative variations on dogs and burgers.
This little piggy went home very satisfied. —Jennifer Nachshen
