Brown Dog - Brant

The Brown Dog is the place we stop for a drink, possibly a snack and an opportunity to sit on the balcony overlooking the Grand River. The snacks are tasty, the range of drinks is limited the cost is on the high side. Staff are okay but not the warmest or customer oriented. The view ... spectacular!!! Other than that, there isn't much to say.

This coffee house is part of a small chain, but the standout item here is the apple fritters. However, the food offered is also quite impressive.

This is a good, quick, restaurant. It has great food, especially the sandwiches. You order your meal at the counter, and it is delivered to your table. Coffee is excellent, as are the apple fritters. In cooler weather, you can eat inside a restored historic Paris building, and get a great view of the Grand River. In nice weather, there are tables outside - on two levels - with a great river view.

FYI, just by yesterday and it has a new name. so if your revisiting just for the Brown Dog your in for a surprise! Maybe there is just too much completion since the Quincy Mills opened.

The name of the cafe has changed to CarvalhoA large group of us sat out in the balcony on Sunday. A member of staff came and told us in a loud and aggressive tone, that we needed to make sure the path was clear for other customers. There were 2 doors on either side of us, so no path was blocked. I went to speak to the member of staff and said can you please clarify what you meant. She became defensive and said that we were blocking the fire exit in "her restaurant". I said I understand this but I felt the way she spoke to us was quite abrupt. She said she didn't speak like that, turned away and said have a good day. I asked her if I could speak to the manager. To my astonishment she said she was the owner!!!I said that I find it unbelievable that the owner of the cafe was not interested in the way a customer felt. She said I am not interested and have a good day.We are visiting from Scotland and have travelled many countries. We have never seen such rudeness and arrogance anywhere in the world.It is great that one can express themselves on trip advisor.
