| - After a more than 6-month hiatus, Vannis is open once more. I dropped in for the breakfast last week, and I had to update my Wychwood breakfast list.
1) There's a perfect range of optionson the menu - a real brunch spread, without overwhelming you with too many choices.
2) I love having the option of ordering salad instead of homefries or yam fries. The salad is a light mix of greens in vinaigrette, not too pushy for morning consumption. If I'm already having sausage, eggs, french toast, I don't need homefries too.
3) The sausage is a real, fat, flame-grilled sausage. Wow.
4) Two big breakfasts in a lovely ambiance with refilled coffee = about $20. I'd drop about the same at Boom!, but here I leave relaxed and satisfied.
5) The hollandaise on the eggs benny is divine - not too thick, not too runny, and tangy with citrus.
We were concerned at first, when we were the only two people in at 11:10 am on a Saturday, but by the time we left at 12 the joint was jumping.
I do wish they'd be a bit freer with the jam packets at the table - one of each kind isn't enough when you're both using syrup or want the marmalade. They're happy to supply more, but should I have to ask? They're quick with the free coffee refills, though.
