Brunch in Canton

The only problem with brunch this weekend at Helen's Garden in Canton is that there's no garden. Brunch is taken seriously here. A limited brunch menu is served on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. until 2 p.m., and a much more elaborate version on Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Besides the regular brunch menu, there are usually 14 specials on Sundays...

Owner Tom Looney says the most popular dish is a Tilghman (as in the island) Omelet with crab, asparagus and an Old Bay aioli. But there are international accents as well, like the London Eggs scrambled with curry powder, onions, peas and feta cheese.

Brunch is a big deal, Looney says, so the covered deck, usually reserved for private parties, is opened on the weekend. Because it's so popular, reservations are a must.

Have you had a great brunch lately? Let me know about it.

Regi's in Federal Hill is one of my favorite restaurants in the city and brunch is one of the main reasons. Their brunch entrees never disappoint and the specials are terrific. A few weeks ago I had a breakfast panini - eggs, cheese, ham, pecans and a light syrup. It was amazing. This place never fails me.
