| - I don't give out 5 stars very easily to any establishment but I was so pleasantly surprised by Cafe Des Amis that there was no other rating that could do the meal I had proper justice! Tucked down a side street in the Village of Sewickley, Cafe Des Amis serves breakfast all day (LOVE having that option) but also has a lunch menu if you're so inclined. Parking can be tricky but meters are free in Sewickley Saturday and Sundays (in addition to holidays) so street parking, if available, is always an option. Also, the Sharp Edge Bistro parking lot is a short walk away if needed. My family, my boyfriend, and I visited Cafe Des Amis this past Saturday around 12pm for a brunch/lunch meeting. The inside has tables for both smaller and larger parties and we decided on a table near the window for the 5 of us. You order at the counter and pay first. You are handed a number and then your food is brought out to you when ready. They have bottled beverages (coke products, bottled water, pellegrino,etc) in a cooler in addition to the option of just tap water or fresh brewed iced tea. They run weekly specials, and this week one of the specials was ham,apple, and brie on a baguette served with one side. This is what my mom opted for, and while she said it was very good, she took half home and said she would add honey mustard to the sandwich when she ate the other half. My brother chose the roasted chicken and brie sandwich (lettuce, honey mustard , and mayo on a toasted baguette) and, although I can't comment personally on it, he seemed to enjoy it. My dad chose the HAT wrap (hummus, avocado, turkey, lettuce, tomato on a warm tortilla) and he said it was very tasty. My boyfriend and I, having run the Pittsburgh 5K only a few hours earlier, decided to go with breakfast, each of us choosing an omelet. He chose the bacon and brie omelet while I went with the zucchini, basil, and goat cheese omelet. Each of the omelets, like the sandwiches, come with one side. I did not try my boyfriend's omelet but he said it was perfectly cooked and he enjoyed the complimenting flavors of the brie and bacon. Here is where the 5 star review comes in to play: The omelet I ordered was hands down THE BEST omelet I have ever eaten in a restaurant! Typically, I don't order omelets so I don't have much to compare this one too, however, my boyfriend, who orders omelets frequently for breakfast, agreed that it was absolutely amazing! It tasted so fresh and flavorful and was light and fluffy. Although it was quite a large portion, it was not heavy nor greasy and was quite easy to finish. The zucchini tasted fresh and was plentiful throughout the omelet, and I loved the creaminess the goat cheese provided for the dish. I had the fruit as my side and the melons were as sweet as can be-such a nice touch on the warm day we had this past Saturday! I raved about my omelet so much that my mother has requested we return this Sunday for Mother's Day so she can try one herself! I hope we do go back this Sunday as, even though I typically don't like to return to a restaurant so soon, my my meal was just that good!
