Victorian Cafe

 

Victorian Cafe is a very popular brunch location in Bend, Oregon.  It is located not far from Old Town Bend and it is located right at the corner of a roundabout.  The parking space at Victorian Cafe is limited but there is street parking available around the restaurant.  Other than just offering brunch menu, it also offers a wide variety of alcohol drinks from its bar, which many people enjoy.

We got to Victorian Cafe around 11:30 in the morning and there was already a lot of people waiting outside.  We walked into the restaurant to put our name down on the wait list and we were told that the wait time is 1.5 hours.  We were quite shocked because we didn't see that many people outside.  We put our name down anyway since we really wanted to try this restaurant.  While waiting, we walked around the neighbourhood to explore other surrounding restaurants.

We came back and sat on the porch to wait for our table to be ready.  While waiting, we noticed that Victorian Cafe was slow at clearing tables and thus the wait time was longer than what we expected.  After about an hour and 10 minutes, our table was ready and we got a porch seat.

After we sat down, it took the server a while to come by to give us glasses of water and take our order.  We ordered a Strawberry Lemonade, Sandra Marie Omelet, and Caramel Apple French Toast.

The Strawberry Lemonade had a strong strawberry taste and was quite refreshing. We did really enjoy the drink.  The Sandra Marie Omelet comes with a scone.  The scone was extremely fresh and had a strong cinnamon taste to it.  We really like the scone!

The Sandra Marie Omelet used a lot of fresh ingredients such as mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, and squash.  It was so fresh that we thought we were eating salad.  On top of the omelet, it was covered with pesto sauce.  The Caramel Apple Fresh Toast was the best of the meal.  The fresh toast on the plate was a smaller size toast, but it was cooked perfectly.  The apple was served as thin slices placed in between the toast.  The fresh toast was probaby the best we have ever had.

We really enjoyed the food at Victorian Cafe.  It was definitely a great experience with its unique taste.  The biggest down side was the wait time at the restaurant.  Hopefully it will improve over time.
