| - Having lunch here was a nice and unexpected surprise! We were originally going to Olive & Gourmando, but we discovered that the wait time there was an hour; needless to say, we decided to go elsewhere. After searching 'brunch' on yelp, we spent about 10 minutes looking for the restaurant, which is actually on the second floor of the museum.
Upon our arrival, fifteen minutes before the restaurant opened, we were told that all indoor seats were already reserved. However, there was still space out the balcony, so we grabbed a spot outside. The view from the terrasse was nice; I imagine that it would be amazing on a sunnier day. Service was fast and accommodating, and the hostess explained the meals of the day (meat, pasta, soup) very thoroughly before giving us time to order. Our bread was refilled when she noticed we were out, and coffee was brought very quickly, though it tasted average.
As for the food, we were extremely pleased. The presentation was beautiful, and the meals were fantastic. I got the meat of the day, duck with lasagna, and the cold pea soup; my boyfriend, the pasta and the salad.
We were super lucky we got a spot today. Next time I'll make sure to reserve in advance!
