This past week was the 40th anniversary of one of Victoria’s mainstay brunch spots: John’s Place.
In celebration of the 40 years it has been in business they revived their menu prices from 1989: $5 waffles, and $7 eggs Benedict. (Only for one week)
R., who recently came back from doing the Portuguese route of the Camino, and I went for brunch on Friday. We got to the back of the line (which was just past the side entrance to the Centre City Plaza) at 11:30am and were finally seated at 1:00pm.
R. Said that it has been busy all week. But Friday was especially busy (most likely because most Government workers who work a flex schedule take Fridays off).
The interior is decorated with wall to wall photos and posters of North American and British pop culture. (I say British as I did notice a poster for Arsenals FC)
John’s place is known for its waffles and eggs Benedict and even with the influx of customers they did not disappoint.
I ordered the eggs Florentine (the way they made it in 1989) with a side of bacon on an English muffin. R. Ordered the same.
By the time we left the lineup outside went all the way to Douglas Street
John’s Place is located at 723 Pandora Ave.
