Roux

A neighbourhood institution. Excellent food - tasty with hearty portions. We've mostly visited for brunch - the Southern Breakfast may be my favourite brunch dish in the neighbourhood. Recently had the shrimp and grits, which held up well as a takeaway meal. Our last takeout experience wasn't ideal as our food was quite late (and we were repeatedly given overly optimistic time estimates) - but we all have to be a bit more patient in these pandemic times.

The only reason it's not five stars is that there was a half-hour delay getting it ready - which they were VERY apologetic about, and of course it IS pandemic time, so timing is hard for a restaurant. Anyway. FABULOUS Cajun dinner. I had jambalaya, which was terrific and more than I could finish, and coleslaw (again, a generous serving). The hubby had ribs/chicken/sausage, and a beet salad, and gumbo, and finished up with apple pie. Everything was hot despite the delay, fresh, just great. Highly recommended. A real treat to have Cajun for a change!

Unexpected perfection!!
