| - We ended up eating breakfast twice at Della's Kitchen & WHAT a find this turned out to be!!!
Not wanting to waste 1 hour commuting to Bouchon for breakfast, we elected to stroll around our hotel complex & see what looked interesting. By lucky happenstance, we passed by Della's
They are open only for breakfast & lunch but serve both menus the whole time they're open.
1st morning, we had the custard pancakes w/ vanilla butter - so soft & custardy ( as the name implied ). This was the hit of the table & in fact, Sis, who is not a sweet person, chose them as her day 2 breakfast and THAT is saying something!
Also chose the Belgian waffle w/ lavender butter - strong lavender but not soapy - another winner!
Mr had the veggie frittata & he was loving the eggs mixed w/ quinoa. Provided a unique texture & flavor layer.....and let's just say they make ALL their own sauces. Ketchup, homemade strawberry jam & hot sauce to boot. We tried them all during our 2 visits & not only could you tell they were homemade but they were scrumptious!
Day 2 Mr & I were dying to try their Truffled Pappardelle w/ mushrooms, asparagus & peas. The ingredients were so simple but the flavor so incredible
Before Day 2 breakfast was brought out, we were treated to homemade cornbread w/ the homemade jam - it was slightly sweet & lots of corn flavor - could have had about 12 more of these ( each )
Then we were offered a roung of their freshly pressed juices - we had a kale, celery, apple mix & an orange, pineapple & ginger mix. Both were outstanding
After we made complete piggies of ourselves, & are waiting on the check, out comes complimentary homemade granola bars w/ dark chocolate, dried fruits, quinoa & oats. Our waiter says: "We like to show off". It was the perfect little bite and fab ending to a lovely 2 meals.......this is a destination spot for sure! We'll be back!!
