We tried Wendy's new breakfast menu and here's a first look (PHOTOS) | Washed up (2024)

We've tried many breakfast sandwiches at fast food restaurants in Canada, and now we're focusing on Wendy's.

The fast food chainrecently announcedthey will be launching some new breakfast options across Canadastart on May 2.

Consider adding freshly brewed coffee, iced coffee, breakfast sandwiches and seasoned potatoes.

Wendy's is getting in on the breakfast game, along with some really strong OGs like McDonald's, Tim Hortons and A&W.

We got to try out Wendy's latest range of breakfast options, and here's our honest opinion:

Wendy's breakfast with a vanilla Frostyccino and spiced potatoes

Frosty's meets coffee in the most delicious iced coffee combination. Wendy's combines their slow-steeped medium roast cold brew coffee with a chocolate or vanilla icy flavored cream. It contains Canadian dairy and is served with a cup of ice cream.

As for their side dishes, forget the traditional potato wedges and tater tots and say hello to their addictively spicy fries. Seriously, we couldn't get enough of it. These crispy skin-on potato wedges are seasoned with ground black pepper and garlic powder.

Honest opinion? Whether you want to make your breakfast combination or enjoy it on its own, you can't go wrong. They truly rank first compared to the competition.

Breakfast Baconator

When you think of Wendy's, you undoubtedly think of a Baconator. Since it wouldn't do any good to eat it at sunrise (no judgement, if that's your thing), here's the next best thing.

The Breakfast Baconator consists of a Canadian grade A egg, six strips of crispy applewood smoked bacon, square breakfast sausage and two slices of cheese. To bring it all together, it's topped with a Swiss cheese hollandaise sauce on a toasted brioche bun.

That's a hearty breakfast. It tastes as good as it sounds. If you're looking for something that will keep you full and happy all day long, choose this.

Classic bacon, egg and cheese sandwich

You can't go wrong with a classic breakfast Sammy. Crispy bacon, melted cheese, oh so delicious, but that's not it. It does its job, it tastes like a sandwich, but the sandwich is quite dry.

At least you can chase it with a Frostyccino.

Surprisingly, this buttery breakfast sandwich was much less dry than the previous option and very fluffy too. It almost melted in your mouth!

The great thing about these new menu items is that they are completely customizable, so you can choose to add sausage, bacon or meatless when you place an order.

Compared to all sandwiches, this one ranks first.

Sausage, egg and Swiss croissant

Last but certainly not least: sausage, egg and Swiss croissant! By far one of – if not the best breakfast sandwiches compared to them all. We're talking about everyone, including competitors. It was buttery, flaky and spicy.

It really blew us away because it was just that good. Say what you will, but Wendy's has really come through with their new menu.

This is going to sound cool, and since we're just being honest, we can honestly say that Wendy's breakfast is by far the best in the entire country when it comes to fast food offerings.

There we said it. Check out the new range of breakfast treats from May 2 at your local Wendy's restaurant.
