| - During a recent trip to New York, one of the things that I enjoyed almost everyday there was having smoked salmon/lox for breakfast. It was available everywhere we had breakfast and brunch, and surprisingly that has been one of the things I miss since coming back home. Doing a quick search for breakfast places that served lox, Norm's Eggs Cafe came up.
With salmon on my mind, I ordered the Lox and Cream Cheese Scramble. It comes with a choice of toast or bagel, and hash browns or fruit. I opted for rye toast and hash browns. The scramble comes out exactly as you would envision, lots of salmon in every bite and quite the generous portion of cream cheese mixed in. After finishing my meal, everything was cleaned off the plate except for the cream cheese; there was that much mixed in! The salmon had a great smoked flavor and was also portioned generously. Every bite had salmon, they did not skimp on it.
Hash browns and toast were standard fare. Potatoes were nice and crispy on top and softer on the bottom layer, and pleasantly not soaked in grease. The toast was toast, can't go wrong with that! The menu did state that the scramble was made with three eggs, but to me the portion seemed a bit small. Maybe I'm used to the heaping portions served at other restaurants, but the entree size here had me wishing for more. Overall a nice spot to grab breakfast, and definitely not as crowded as other breakfast options during the weekend. I'll be back for the salmon scramble!
