Hof Kelsten

Located in the heart of the Plateau, star bread baker to the city’s top restaurants, Jeffrey Finkelstein, has expanded his pastry offerings to brunch. Dig your fork into the global offerings of Shakshuka ($12) or Schnitzel ($14) where eggs are front and centre. Smoked mackerel ($12) is a bestseller, as is Pain Doré ($12), where maple syrup oozes over thick challah and veal pancetta. Worry not, you can get your salmon ($4) and rosti ($1.50) on the side. You’ll be remiss not to pick up a few croissants, scones, and the best babka cake you’ve sunk your teeth into for the ride home.
