It’s Always Morning in Rosedale at The Omelettry

November 27, 2013 11:44 am

The Omelettry proves that omelets don’t just have to be for breakfast. Located right on the corner where Burnet Road meets West 47th Street, the Omelettry is a place where it's always morning. That’s because the Omelettry serves breakfast until dinnertime! This is a cool spot with funky paintings on the outside walls and a dining area that defines casual. But the word is out, so be prepared to wait a bit on the weekends. The menu features many traditional breakfast plates, but locals really like the specials (try the Popeye Omelet with spinach, the Eggonomica, or the Gingerbread Pancakes). You can also create your own omelet! Come back for the lunch specials, or just have breakfast again! And remember, this is a cash-only establishment.
