| - This is my go-to place for brunch in my 'hood. What I like about this place:
- Simple and delicate yet NOT intimidating decoration, ambience, clientèle
- My words won't do justice for other orders but here are some highlights when you order "Brunch des Cantons" ($11.95) the one I always get:
a) before the main brunch, they bring you baguettes with confitures (tartinades)
b) "Brunch des Cantons" is served on a heavy hot pan, to keep it warm.
c) contains ham, sausage, bacon (all three meats! big+ for my in-decisiveness when it comes to choose one out of the three), home-made potatoes with fine herbs, fruits, and take note Baguette.
d) the portion is very generous (I can never finish everything, and I have a big appetite for breakfast)
- Most of the waiters/waitresses are friendly, soft-spoken hipsters. So are the clients. Their clients are: 25% business people working around old-port, 35% Artists working in the area, 20% some tourists, 20% residence.
- Yet another + for this place is they have a bar area behind cashier, where you can buy organic food, exotic products, lunch in boxes, illy coffee.
- In the morning till noon, they have illy coffee for 2.5$. Points card, where you can collect points (10 coffee to get 1 for free)
- Brunch for weekdays is 7am-11am; After that, they have lunch. Weekends from 9am to 3pm. There's usually a line for the weekends unless you get there before 11am.
