<\/a>The\u00a0Huevos Rancheros<\/strong>\u00a0($15) looked like an inviting Mexican fiesta on a plate, filled with components\u00a0of vibrant colours – golden\u00a0scrambled eggs, green avocado, bright red salsa fresca, acilantro, baked beans, touches of coltija cheese and cilantro, and finished with a piece of honey cornbread. \u00a0Besides\u00a0the variety of fresh\u00a0ingredients with a ton of flavours, I was loving that corn bread, which had a spongy texture but more delicate than a lot of the other versions I tried.<\/p>\n I was digging\u00a0that patty in the\u00a0Ritual Burger\u00a0<\/strong>($19), it was definitely made of high quality meat – thick, meaty and juicy, and there was none of that graininess usually found in ground meats. \u00a0I think I can conclude comfortably that the meat was chopped, not ground. The burger was also loaded with house made ketchup, melted gooey cheese and a beautifully fried organic egg. \u00a0The buns were quite nice, soft but firm enough to hold against the moisture from the sauce and the patty. The black sesame seeds on the top bun was a nice touch, \u00a0adding a bit of nuttiness. The burger however could be closer to perfection if there \u00a0was a bit more seasoning, which would have\u00a0brought out the deliciousness of that patty more. I also was loving the fries, which was topped with a generous amount of parmesan and some drops of truffle oil. The flavours were\u00a0rich but not heavy. \u00a0Even the house made ketchup impressed me. It didn’t have that jam-like consistency like the store bought ones, and it was light, fresh and flavourful.<\/p>\n Finally, Jane showed me why she was a big fan of this place, their desserts. Today we were having a slice of the Chocolate and Peanut Butter Frosted Layer Cake\u00a0<\/strong>($5.50). Visually the light violet tint in the chocolate and peanut butter frosting is stunning. The texture of 4-layer cake was not too light and not too dense, and the amount of the cream does provide the best of both chocolate and peanut butter, but not super sweet like the Reese cup.<\/p>\n The brunch\u00a0was absolutely delicious and I finished my food even with such a bad hangover. Although a little under seasoned, I really enjoyed the burger with hand made patty, truffle fries, and house made ketchup. \u00a0The fresh quality ingredients really made the difference, and that was worth the little extra that we had to pay for. And oh boy that piece of chocolate and peanut butter cake was to die for too! To me they really nailed both savoury and sweet dishes. I would definitely like to come back here.<\/p>\n Website:<\/strong><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.ritualvancouver.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n More reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
