| - This restaurant and our meal was an outstanding way of beginning a bright Saturday morning.
Greeted very nicely and politely by the staff, The restaurant is surrounded by a lovely and simple decor, with the right amount of classiness and elegance. The space is not big, yet it's spacious and comfortable enough to move around. One of my favourite touches, was the open kitchen. You see absolutely everything, this is where our meals were made...
We began with the perfect cup of hot chocolate, homemade and not from an instant mix. With a lovely foam design served at the right temperature. Their coffee, freshly ground beans and made to other. Great as well.
You begin looking at the menu and feeling a bit confused. Some ingredients are not something you see or hear about on an everyday basis. Or some of the combinations seem odd as well. Don't let that turn you off! Ask away, their staff is very professional and knowledgeable. In both languages(English and French)
I've ordered the Kyle's French toast(Great job Kyle!!) The dish consists of three thick stick shape slices of a lovely brioche bread. Drizzled with a sweet caramel like sauce and topped off with lovely compote of cranberries. Along side, a small but very beautiful decoration of butternut squash puree and walnuts. Served very hot with a hot dish. So the meal has no chance of getting cold. Simply perfection in every single bite.
My friend ordered the smoked mackerel(Which is a fish) The presentation once again was stunning. Great colour combination and beautifully presented. The mackerel was perfectly cooked, tender and flaky. Served with a duck egg, which was runny(Not too runny!) and tender. Finished by a lovely portion of cheddar polenta(cornmeal) which was silky, creamy, and perfectly cheesy. Decorated with chopped pickled cucumber. Perfect bite of freshness to end the meal!
Overall, this is not your ordinary breakfast spot, this is extraordinary with very reasonable prices. Do keep in mind, that pancakes, sausages, scrambled eggs and heavy dishes are not part of their menu, not their food concept. Truly a fantastic place, with outstanding food, and very professional staff. I highly recommend it!
