were huge and delicious, leaving me more than satisfied. I really don’t have anything to say about this
except that it was fantastic…
K arolina: I had the Glastonbury Herbivore, a sort
of vegetarian eggs benedict: it consisted of a poached
egg and Portobello mushroom on a scone, covered in
a Béarnaise sauce which contained spinach and red
pepper. I didn’t much like the red pepper, as it overwhelmed the rest of the flavours in the dish. And
though I do love scones, the crumbly pastry didn’t
make for easy eating. It came with homefries and a
grilled tomato, which was such an endearing nod to
Old Blighty (though I obviously didn’t eat it, because
ew). All in all, it was a very average meal.
Cost
K ate’s meal: Brighton Toast ($12) + Mimosa ($5) =
$17 + tax and tip
K arolina’s meal: The Glastonbury Herbivore ($13)
+ Mimosa ($5) = $18 + tax and tip
Final thoughts
K at e: Everyone (especially soccer fans) should
go here immediately, get the Brighton Toast,
and indulge in a cheap cocktail. You won’t be
disappointed.
K arolina: Go for the cute, if cheesy, British theme
and the cheap, delicious cocktails. I’d return for
those two reasons, but probably not for the food.
However it is significantly less expensive than many
other restaurants we’ve visited, which is a definite
plus. u
