CJ doesn't quite recall this dish being a "childhood favourite", but maybe it is out east in La Belle Province?
If this dish wasn't "For a limited time" this review would be on the "1990's harvest", another well portioned, fruit-laden meal. But, alas, CJ decided to go against the norm and ordered the french toast dish.
The restaurant was busy, just like any other Sunday morning. The service was friendly and prompt. The table and cutlery were all clean.
The presentation of the dish is pretty important at Chez Cora's - in fact, EVERY dish/drink is plated quite well. Lots of colour and fruit to tease the eye.
The bread is what really makes the dish (why doesn't more bread come with fruit?) - well, that and the brie cheese. It smelled delicious. And the cranberry sauce! Ho, ho, let CJ tell you about it! No, it's not like the cranberry sauce you get out of a can for your turkey dinner, but it was a sweet glaze that was layered onto the toast with bits of clementines added in for good, citrus-y measure.
When you get a hunk of bread, cheese and egg all on one forkful, and manage to dip it in to the cranberry glaze... well, you know that you have a very good breakfast then.

The grade: 8.5 out of 10.0. Solidly an honours grade...
PS: turns out you only need to lay out about $500,000 to $800,00 (CAD) for a franchise opportunity. CJ keeps trying to tell good ol' Alabama (you may remember him from here) to set up a franchise in the Queen's City (AKA "The Paris of the Prairies", but nothing has graced the business pages of the Leader Post to indicate that such a new business venture has come to fruition... The fickle diners of Regina continue to wait...
