| - I don't eat at buffets unless in Vegas. Just one of the random things that totally gross me out for no particular reason. But I finally got around to trying out brunch at Bistro La Bon after hearing rave reviews from a bunch of friends.
Although located in a sketchy strip mall on Central Avenue, once inside the restaurant, you would never guess where it was located. Very nice decor, lots of seating, friendly hostess and good service. For $18, you get a nice little spread.
Some of my favorite items:
- French toast: light and airy, this is some of the best french toast I've ever had. I ate it all so we had to order more from our server for my dining companions!
- Chocolate cream cheese muffins: enough said - how could that be bad?
- Kielbasa and cabbage: I don't even like either of these items normally, but gave it a go; it was a very good combo and I proceeded to have seconds.
- Greek salad: I'm a sucker for a good Greek salad, and this didn't disappoint.
- Coconut macaroons: best I've ever tried; they were gooey and delicious and completely addictive.
The buffet also had many other items, and the server will bring you scrambled eggs, chocolate waffles, and bacon if you'd like. This is no Vegas buffet, but the selection they do have is very good and well thought out.
My only issue was that we got there at 11:15am on a Sunday so weren't able to order the $3 mimosas or $4 bloody marys. All in all it was very good and we'll be back soon!
