Mémoire Cà Phê
AlbertaVietnamese brunch on Alberta from the Matta, Portland Cà Phê, and HeyDay crews, named one of the country's best new restaurants. The move is the đặc biệt waffle — pandan, pork belly, jammy egg — and a cinnamon-dusted egg coffee. Small room, big swings, plenty of gluten-free.
The order
The đặc biệt waffle — green pandan, thick pork belly, a jammy fried egg and fried garlic over arugula, with spiced syrup pulling it sweet-and-savory — alongside a cà phê trứng, the egg-cream coffee dusted with cinnamon.
