Where to Go in Kingston if You’re a Brunch Addict
"Ah, our brunch love with Pan Chancho…it’s the addiction that we just don’t want to quit. This locally owned, European style cafe is checking off all the boxes for an amazing brunch; a charming aesthetic, food made from scratch, and a key location in the heart of downtown Kingston. We love the Weekender (two eggs over easy on a croissant with bacon, chives and 2-year-old cheddar), Our Dutch Baby (skillet pancake with apples, blue cheese and apple butter), the Poutine Bravas (patates frites, spicy chorizo, poached egg, cheddar curds and smoked paprika gravy.) And to be honest?"
