Wow, Barque has a very fresh point of view on brunch. I had walked by this place a couple of times, but it was always packed so I had marked it as something to check out later. I stumbled in last Sunday and by chance I my choice of the patio or inside.
I ended up with a wonderful and friendly server who seized on my first question and recommended the pancakes with duck and blueberry compote. It sounds like an odd dish, but the experience turned out delicious as I enjoyed an oatmeal stout alongside the savory pancakes.
It's obviously an overly popular place, but if you catch Barque at just the right moment then you experience a sweet atmosphere on Roncesvalles.
