It's a special day. My husband is having his Oath of Citizenship Ceremony today as the final step in becoming a Canadian citizen. So to celebrate, we decided to have English food for breakfast, French cuisine for lunch, and Indigenous specialty for dinner in honour of the three groups that founded Canada: the aboriginal (First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people), the French, and the British. We also took the day off today, so a break from work.
We searched for English Breakfast online, and the restaurant Google suggested is Le Petit Belge. We checked their menu, and sure enough, there was English Hot Breakfast which we ordered for my husband. Then, of course, I had my "usual" Salmon Benny with an English muffin. We have English Breakfast tea at home, which we enjoy with our meal.

Unfortunately, the English Hot Breakfast arrived without the baked beans and baked tomatoes, making it just a Hot Breakfast and not the "English" experience. To say that my husband is disappointed is an understatement. However, he won't let it go and have asked me to write about it and to leave a review that a restaurant with a French name which specializes in Belgian waffles does not serve English Breakfast.

| Salmon Benny Sliced smoked sockeye salmon, two poached eggs, avocado, oven-baked potatoes, hollandaise sauce, and English muffin |
Though, I highly recommend the Salmon Benny. The avocado with salmon and the creamy hollandaise sauce is done exceptionally well.
I also ordered the Fresh Fruit Bowl.
