Chic, trendy spot to meet up with an old friend. The exposed brick on the outside is just plain cool along with the flower/eye logo splattered along the windows.
Love the outdoor sign. "Fun". Boo yeah.
The inside is gorgeous, calm, warm and inviting. We came on a Sunday for brunch (we made reservations but turned out we didn't need them). I was happy that it wasn't insanely busy. There are two horseshoe counters to sit at. Everything is out in the open, including the kitchen. Loved how one of the cooks was repping a Kazu t-shirt.
The menu is a short, one pager. Don't be afraid to ask for it in English or French, they have both! Waitresses here were incredibly sweet and attentive. I wanted to try three dishes for the two of us and while she said it was possible, we might die from a food coma. Something along those lines ;) She was spot on. The portions are extremely generous.
- Banana pancakes ($16.00) - bacon, dulce de leche butter, walnut and maple syrup. You get three stacks of pancakes. THREE. This was absolutely massive. The walnuts were like candied nuts. The pancakes were fantastic. Fluffiest pancakes I've ever had. You're palate will be dancing - sweet from the syrup and dulce de leche, salty from the bacon. Yum.
- Banh xeo ($19.00) - Nordic shrimps, scrambled eggs, shiitake, mint, cilantro and cashews. Obviously, I had to try their version of banh xeo (Vietnamese crepe). Great twist to a classic dish.
I'd return in a heartbeat. Would love to try their dinner next time.
