| - You might not notice Jacqueline Suzanne's if you weren't looking for it, but the charming yellow cursive writing on the window catches your eye once you are close. Nestled in between the countless antique shops, galleries and knick-knack stores lining 9th avenue SE, Jacqueline Suzanne's Bistro is a must-visit for brunch if you're in the Inglewood area.
Doubling as an antique shop, the decor of the bistro gives off an Old New York vibe. Upon entrance, a dark, heavy curtain separates the entry from the dining room. My boyfriend and I were greeted by a server almost immediately, and we were seating at a two-seat table against the wall. Our table was made complete with an almost art nouveau style lamp, which acted as a great conversation piece. The walls have an eclectic collection of art on them. The place is comfortable and interesting at the same time. The particular menu I got also had a list of some of the vintage and antique jewelry they had for sale, which was fun to read through while we waited.
Both times I've been to JS I've ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. It's kind of my go-to for brunch a lot of the time. They do not disappoint. The eggs were perfectly cooked, nice runny yolk that melts into creamy hollandaise sauce. Coffee was served to me in a glass mug and was fresh brewed. The fruit salad served with my eggs benedict was a really refreshing and interesting mix of fruit. Not the usual grapes, strawberries and squishy melon. JS uses mango, dragon fruit and other delicious and out of the ordinary fruit in their fruit salad mix, and you can taste that they make it fresh that morning.
If you haven't tried Jacqueline Suzanne's for brunch yet, it's worth it!
