| - I love how friendly and homely this place is. Feels just like being at a family-run cafe in Europe. The decorations are all pictures of France, the cute little lace curtain that covers only the bottom half of the window, a bar table at the window just for two - perfect for people watching...!!!
I must comment that since this place is really small, there was only one waitress who attended to the 15 or so customers. You must definitely be prepared to wait if you arrive after 12pm for brunch. However, with wonderful company and the relaxing ambience, the wait is not bad at all - maybe 30-40 minutes for food. There was no wait for seats on the other hand, so you get a comfortable seat and water or drinks to quench your thirst!
Now now now, the highlights! of course, food.
I tried the croque madame - good but not wowing. I definitely enjoyed the crispy ends of the bread, but not all ends were crispy. I loved the creamy cheese but the bacon was a little salty.. The egg was kinda separate from the whole croque madame. I also prefer the egg to be more runny.
The highlight was my friend's dish, which was a special item - the Chicken Dijon. ohhhhhhh how i love this baked casserole. chicken, cheese, rice with a pink sauce. oh it is the most wonderful casserole I've had in a while. very delicious and substantial.
I also tried my other friend's omelette - mushroom, onions and spring onions. do note that the onions were not mentioned in the menu, but were still included in the omelette. I enjoyed the omelette, gigantic portion and very generous with the ingredients. The flavor was good but the egg was a little too cooked for me on the outside. I like my eggs more runny.
We then ended our brunch with dessert! Cafe Gourmand had bite size tastings of the creme brûlée (with lavender flavor, a little on the strong side), lemon curd tart, a milk custard like thing with almonds, cookie and nutella crepe. I LOVE the nutella crepe, it was more american styled as it was rather thick. still, the bite size version makes it the most adorable thing in the world!!! Also, you get an espresso or coffee with the Cafe Gourmand!
In summary, I would visit on a day when I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere, when I've good company. The food is delicious enough for me to return, and service is really homely and friendly but I usually get too hungry and restless if I wait too long...
P.S. Chez Nanou is such a kind friendly lady, she came out to greet everyone in the restaurant, table by table. She made sure we enjoyed her dishes!
