| - A wonderful place for brunch!
Having walked by Lady Marmalade every weekend for months, I knew what to expect in terms of their line-up outside. I prepared myself for the worst, especially as I visited on a sunny Sunday, so was relatively relieved to be seated and ready to order within twenty minutes.
The menu manages to accommodate all tastes, while still being unique. I loved how all the staple brunch items you'd expect were included on the menu, but many had original twists, e.g: the croque madame I ordered was served not on toasted bread, but within a tasty crepe!
My meal was incredibly filling and I left feeling STUFFED. This ensured the slightly pricey nature of Lady Marmalade didn't bother me too much. The crepe and accompanying poached eggs were expertly cooked and the ingredients delightfully fresh (and sourced from the local, organic, ethical Rowe Farms across the street).
The filter coffee I ordered was similarly impressive - so often brewed coffee in these type of establishments is a let-down. Not here. The blend was strong and citrusy, served HOT (not lukewarm as is often the case elsewhere), and the refills kept coming without me having to ask!
The service was good, especially considering how busy the place was.
I would definitely go back!
