| - Came to Lady Marmalade on a hot Monday afternoon at around 1:30. Unfortunately they didn't have AC and the fans were just blowing around hot air... so I was hoping the food would would be worth it.
I started with the fresh raspberry apple juice ($3.75). It was sweet and tart, and although it was decent, it wasn't really for me. I should've just stuck to the regular OJ. My friend had the homemade lemonade ($2.75) which was really tasty and refreshing.
We shared the huevos migas - 3 soft-scrambled eggs w/ cheese, tomatoes, scallions & spicy sausage, served w/ basmati brown rice n' beans, sourcream, organic corn tortilla chips & pico de gallo salsa ($11.5). The eggs were perfectly scrambled and tasted pretty damn good with all the other ingredients. However, I wasn't a huge fan of the rice or the beans (but I don't like beans so that probably isn't saying much).
We also ordered one of the egg benny's - the one with ham, red onion and chipotle mayo for $11.50. The hollandaise, which I think makes or breaks an eggs benny, was fantastic. I couldn't really taste the chipotle mayo, but I didn't really care since the hollandaise had such a great flavour. Overall, a great dish!
All bennies are served with potatoes and a salad or fresh tomatoes with lemony hollandaise. We opted for the potatoes and salad. The salad reminded me of the kind you get at Japanese restaurants as it had an asian dressing. The salad wasn't anything special, but I don't come to brunch for a side salad, so they're forgiven. As for the potatoes, they were pretty enjoyable - crispy bite-sized morsels.
Anyways, like a lot of other brunch spots around the city, the decor and furnishings consisted of mismatched furniture and dishes. Also keep in mind they take cash only. Overall, a solid brunch spot.
