Recently I've had to take the bus to church, so I thought I'd use the opportunity to visit Bayte for brunch following my lunch fail the other week. I wanted to have the baked eggs, which came in a whole okra and tomato stew, topped with shanklish and served with flatbread ($15), but they changed to their new Spring menu on Monday and it wasn't on the menu anymore.

Today I'd planned to go to Bayte on the way home because it's literally one door down from the bus stop at Wellington St/Johnston St and therefore incredibly convenient. To my dismay, Bayte wasn't open for lunch today and only opens for lunch Friday to Sunday. A few seconds after I arrived at the door, a group of girls also came, only to be disappointed by the changed opening hours (apparently not for the first time). I thought I'd go home for lunch instead, but upon checking the...
