The LOCAL Public Eatery brand is about neighbourhood gathering spots with quality food, drinks, and atmosphere. On the menu are elevated comfort food, local craft beer, wines & cocktails in a laidback environment.
We visited their River District location where they offer weekend brunch on Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 10 am – 3 pm with dishes like Classic Eggs Benedict; Avocado Eggs Benedict; Braised Beef & Bacon Hash.
Other highlights of the menu include Starters (like Pinche Beef Tacos and Hot Wings); Mains (like BBQ Rice Bowl and Ahi Tuna Poke Rice Bowl); Burgers with hand-pressed patties; Handhelds (like Wagyu Hot Dog and Fish Tacos); and Desserts (like Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cup).
