| - I had wanted to try Le Passé composé for a while, so I decided I should go. Then I read Yelp reviews for 15 minutes, and decided I should hide at home, where food is a minute away, and, not, two full hours.
I panicked. I texted we should abort the mission, and since my fellow bruncher is calm and cool-headed, he decided we should try it out first, and retreat if needed be. By god he was right. We showed up at 1pm on a sunny Saturday and were seated in less than 10 minutes, praise be! The service is decent, the decor is Pinterest, and their terrace is more like a bunch of tables in a garden. Still, with a one-track mind, we both ordered "Le dej'" and it was delicious. It has it all: meat, egg - very good when scrambled, fruits - fresh, potatoes - soft and greasy, as well as a little scoop of beans and a tiny glass of cranberry coulis. That's delicious in itself. But you know what's good, so you'll order it with the french toast, which is made of brioche, and breaded with panko. I rolled my eyes forever at the reviews here, but I must admit they are well-deserved: that must have been one of the best slices of french toast I've eaten. I recommend eating it with the cranberry sauce.
There were some less cool things, like a ridiculously small quantity of maple syrup (how else am I gonna eat my ham?), or the fact that the bread doesn't come with butter. Or jam. Just like, slices of bread y'all. You won't care, you'll be tonsils-deep in french toast.
