  • It was a ceviche kinda Sunday in Lawrenceville... Following an exhausting morning on the rivers courtesy of Kayak Pittsburgh, myself and a friend headed to L'Ville to sample brunch at Pittsburgh's newest gastropub. Gastropubs in general make me giggle. They sound kinda silly, but who doesn't like to dress up in their finest hipster attire and pay too much for too little? WRONG - not the case with Alchemy (and possibly any other gastropub, given I've never been to any others...). The decor is relaxing and oozes exposed-brick charm. Since it was brunch-time, we were given the brunch menu, which was ripe with delectable options ranging from french toast to pork belly. Before our meals arrived, we were treated to a basket of pastries, including croissants, danish, etc.. Honestly, they were slightly Costco-ish, but I like Costco, so no complaints. Brunch is served with choice of sangria, mimosa or bloody mary - and might I say my drink was, hands-down, the best damn bloody mary I've EVER had. My guest ordered the sangria, which seemed a little underwhelming, but on to the food... I ordered the Shrimp & Crab Ceviche, while my friend ordered the much-raved about Drunken French Toast. I ADORE ceviche, and this dish was no exception. The right-sized bowl of shrimp & crab could've done with slightly fewer onions and more crab, but in general it was absolutely delicious. The shrimp was plump and fresh and I quickly gobbled up every last bite. Surprisingly, it was the complement of fried potatoes that really did it for me. I try to stay away from potatoes, as they are my undeniable weakness, but on this rainy Sunday, I couldn't say no. And I have zero regrets. They were fried to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning. In addition to the potatoes, my dish included plantain chips. Sweet and a little gooey, these chips were very satisfying and I'm certain I could eat an entire platter alone. I also had the chance to sample my friend's drunken french toast and it as DELICIOUS as it was pretty. Final thoughts: no air-conditioning, so if it's hot - forget it; very few tables, so if it's busy get ready to wait; the wait and the $20 you'll spend will be worth it to enjoy a unique brunch in this unique little place.
