| - Tucked in a sketchy strip mall (anchored by a Family Dollar, so that should tell you something) is a gem of a restaurant called Bistro La Bon. Blink and you'll miss it, no joke. But foodies in the CLT know a terrific restaurant, and an even better Sunday brunch, no matter where the eatery may be.
I like the cozy, intimate decor. Plenty of Persian-style rugs line the hardwoods, and the lighting and atmosphere lends itself to conversation and laughs. It's a terrific place to bring a date or a group of friends and family for a great meal.
The Sunday brunch is Bistro La Bon's raison d'etre. Keep in mind the buffet is rather small, so if you're expecting a Golden Corral-sized DIY helpings, you'll be slightly disappointed.
I love that your buffet serving also comes with complimentary scrambled eggs, chocolate waffles, thick-cut bacon AND buttery french toast. For real. And, yes, they are complimentary. They say such nice things about me...(*groan*)
One thing to watch out for: if you love your Bloody Marys drowned in Tabasco, then you'll love 'em here. Me, I like 'em not so spicy. I struggled mightily trying to finish mine, but I simply threw in the towel. No shame in admitting I don't have enough hair on my chest to finish this spicy bastard. So I opted instead for a Mimosa. Yeah, whatever. Don't you judge me.
So for what it's worth, BLB is fast becoming one of my go-to spots for Sunday brunch. In fact, I may need to drag the missus and the wee wonder this Sunday...
