This is a mixed review - 3/5 for brunch and 5/5 for dessert.
Two of us went here on a Sunday at around 12:30 pm. We waited about 35 minutes for a table. FYI - they take CASH ONLY.
Food: 3/5
- Croissant - was very buttery which was great, but a bit too dense in my opinion
- Bonjour Brioche Eggs Benny with Salmon on a croissant - it also came with a mixed green salad and part of a baguette with a large chunk of butter. The plate was half covered in salad and I could have done with half the salad. The eggs benedict was underwhelming. It lacked flavour and richness - the eggs were runny rather than having that golden yolk and I didn't really taste the hollandaise sauce. My favourite part of the plate was the baguette and butter - the baguette was almost perfect: doughy in the centre with a golden crust.
- Croque Madame - I didn't get to try it but was told it was underwhelming as well
DESSERT: 5/5
- Lemon tart - the lemon custard was tart (maybe too tart for some) but this is meant for a true lemon dessert lover
- Pear almond tart - So delicious! The almond cake/crust is perfect: moist inside and crisp on the outside. The pears add balance to the rich crust and it's dusted with icing powder to finish. I highly recommend this dessert!
Although the food was a bit of a disappointment, I will definitely be back for the desserts, baguettes, and will have to try their brioche royal (with lemon raspberry or blueberry custard) which was sold out when we got there. I wouldn't recommend lining up to eat here, but would highly recommend having a coffee and dessert or taking a dessert/bread to go.
