Waterfront / Lake Street
Deep City
Deep City offers a Lake Street brunch menu built around egg plates, polenta, tacos and tofu scrambles. Its walk-in-only policy makes it a different planning choice from Leunig’s reservation-led bistro. The menu also separates small starters from brunch specialties, so a single pancake should not be mistaken for a full breakfast when comparing prices.
