Poutine belongs to late nights and arena concourses, not to a mid-morning brunch table. The Twisted Apron disagrees. Its Eggs Benny Poutine — a bed of hash under soft poached eggs, hollandaise, cheese curds, and peameal bacon — is the plate that explains the whole kitchen in one order, a familiar comfort dish bent just far enough to feel like something else. That bend is the house identity. Comfort food with a twist is the line this Walkerville breakfast-and-brunch kitchen has built its menu around, and the menu earns it plate by plate.
The same trick runs the length of the card. Hot Honey Benny stacks a jalapeño cheddar biscuit with crispy cajun chicken, hollandaise, and a thread of hot honey. Breakfast Pierogies come stuffed like a breakfast burrito, scattered with red onion, bacon, Monterey Jack, and sunny-side-up eggs. Turkish Eggs lean east — grilled sourdough, labneh, za'atar, mint, and chili oil — and the Mediterranean Plate goes further still, with grilled halloumi, mouhamara, marinated olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs, and warm pita. The Brunch Melt dips its brioche in French toast batter before loading it with grilled ham, Swiss, caramelized onions, and scrambled egg; the Breakfast Grilled Cheese folds scrambled eggs, bacon, and basil pesto into a three-cheese blend. Chicken N Waffles and the Twisted Breakfast Sandwich — two fried eggs, maple bacon, garlic aioli, and avocado on a brioche bun — anchor the heartier savoury end.
The official brand line is backed up by current menu items that bend brunch staples: Eggs Benny Poutine, Hot Honey Benny, Breakfast Pierogies, Smashed Toast, and dessert-leaning French toast.
The restaurant is built for daytime repeat use: brunch runs daily, Early Bird covers weekday mornings, seating is walk-in, and the menu has enough range for sweet, savoury, coffee, and cocktail-led visits.
The strongest current anchors are specific and item-level: Eggs Benny Poutine, Mediterranean Plate, Chicken N Waffles, Hot Honey Benny, Turkish Eggs, Breakfast Pierogies, and Biscoff Tiramisu French Toast.
This is a brunch-first room, not a restaurant that happens to serve eggs. Daily brunch hours, weekday Early Bird service, Eggs Benny Poutine, Chicken N Waffles, French-toast builds, and brunch cocktails all point to a visit planned around daytime eating.
The menu takes familiar brunch comfort and makes it feel specific: poutine becomes a benny plate, waffles carry crispy chicken and hollandaise, grilled cheese turns into a breakfast sandwich, and French toast leans into full dessert territory.
Eggs Benny Poutine gives the restaurant a clear lead order. Hash, cheese curds, peameal bacon, soft poached eggs, and hollandaise make it more than a novelty; it is the plate that best explains the Twisted Apron style.
The drink list is built for brunch rather than tacked on afterward: boozy coffees, espresso martinis, mimosa options, spritzes, margaritas, wine, beer, cider, and zero-proof choices give daytime visits a real beverage lane.
Curious brunch diners have room to move here. Turkish Eggs, Breakfast Pierogies, Hot Honey Benny, Mediterranean Plate, Smashed Toast, and dessert-style French toast keep the menu from feeling like a standard eggs-and-pancakes list.
