Review from Kat F.
5/3/2009
Mr. Onions (formerly called Mr. Purple Onion and not to be confused with The Purple Onion, which is also a steakhouse/grill and coincidentally located 1.1 km away on Dundas Street West - confused yet!?) looks incredibly suspect from the outside - the signage is terribly tacky and the interior decor isn't much better, what with its gingham tablecloths and kitschy truck stop diner feel. It'd be a shame not to mention the 1970s Reader's Digest issues and random books on the shelves. Titles include: "Intro To Accounting", "Calculus Fundamentals" and "Raising Adopted Children". There's also a floor to ceiling display of photos of past diners with Comic Sans name captions.
On to the menu, which proved to be much more intriguing. There was a full selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner items and the breakfast is served all day, which obviously bodes well for a positive rating in my books.
For a brief moment I considered ordering the mega breakast - "Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Homefries, Chicken Brochette, Tzatziki, Mixed Fruit, Cheese, Toast and Coffee/Juice or Tea" for only $19.95, but then I remembered that I don't actually eat meat, so I opted for the Veg Eggs Benny instead.
The presentation was outstanding and not at all what I was expecting (never judge a book by its cover, right?): Perfectly poached eggs (ask for them soft, medium or hard - these folks know how to poach an egg!) with fresh baby spinach smothered in hollandaise with sliced tomatoes on the side. I'm not a fan of onions (SHUT UP) so I asked for fruit salad instead of homefries and it was not a mistake. The fruit salad was bursting with A+ quality fruits like kiwis, strawberries, mango, pineapple, oranges and blueberries. No honeydew melon or grapes here, only top grade fruit.
A very enjoyable meal and of amazing value for under $10 total per person. I removed one star because the server wasn't very humourous and didn't like my jokes, and the service was a bit slow/inattentive.
