Having taken over the space from Le Victoria, Ma Douce Moitie has done a lovely job both with the more open decor, the delightful menu, good service and good quality affordable food. The originality of the brunch tapas concept is quite perfect for sitting and taking your time with a friend or two. The buttermilk scones with their own homemade jams called to me as did the Bubble and Squeak.
Firstly, the jam; oh...my...goodness. This is the best raspberry jam I believe I have ever had. Deep garnet red and tangy and yet creamy; it was THE ideal accompaniment to the fluffy scone.
Secondly, the Bubble and Squeak was a total delight and surprise. A perfect over easy egg atop an excellent mix of root veggies and herbs with a side of sour cream. Just right. I will be back for this.
My companion had one of their interesting and unique menu of grilled cheese sandwiches served with home fries. Couldn't resist trying some of the fries and they were well seasoned and well cooked. The sandwich portion looked enormous and the bread excellent and made across the street. I will be back to try these too.
The service was great and the owner, Deborah, makes a point of greeting people and knowing her customers. Look for the busiest woman in the place with the biggest smile. Can't wait to get back there.
