What is the ideal brunch spot? 1. Food has to be delicious and plentiful and pretty 2. Crowd has to be lively and tables full of smiles 3. Host and staff have to make the experience effortless and fun despite potentially long waits and cold weather Well check check and check. Great variety of delicious brunch options from traditional to not and sweet to savory. Filling and appealing and fast. The popularity of the restaurant hasn’t ruined the experience and that is quite a feat! The staff is to be congratulated on continuing to provide a top shelf experience despite the added traffic. Parents visiting students or locals enjoying a bite or pregaming the game all are welcome and all should be back! Nothing stands out more than others but I particularly enjoyed the savory dishes even though I have the worst sweet tooth.
The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. The menu offers a fantastic variety of breakfast and brunch options, with plenty of healthy and indulgent choices. Good place for a brunch.
I’ll be honest it wasn’t what I expected upon walking in here. It was small, a little tight with space, and the menu wasn’t what I was hoping for, as far as options. The menu is has a lot of healthy options and less of the traditional selections. But what I ordered was delicious. The eggs are cooked perfect and fluffy, the potatoes with the spicy sauce were amazing, and the crepes were perfect. I guess it was a perfect example of the classic saying “don’t judge a book by its cover”. I wish they had some classic dishes here though, but I get it, it’s a French style spot. All in all the food was great and we would come back here.
The food was incredible. Highly recommend it. We had a scrambler sandwich- the French baguette was so fresha and soft. The potatoes had a lot of great flavor. We also ordered salmon avocado tartine- best I've ever had. Great presentation and you can tell that all of their ingredients are fresh. Service was ok but it was probably due to how busy they were. It took some time for someone to take our order. He helped others who came after us first. But the person working as a host was very welcoming and friendly as well as the manager working the floor that morning. I definitely recommend this restaurant. It was worth the wait. Thank you.
Lovely place. Super busy. Loved the food! We got steak tips and eggs, shakshouka and signiture scrambled plate. What I liked: the potatos were amazing. The hollandaise sauce was great. Eggs tasted great and cooked over easy exactly how I liked them. Shakshouka was so flavorful. Could improve on: i requested the steak medium well but received it very well done. Also the cappuccino tasted more like drip plus milk - better cappuccino s are needed.
This place serves one of the best brunches I’ve had in Boston. It’s a small, cozy spot, but it’s very popular, so be prepared for a line if you arrive after 9 a.m. I visited on a cold, rainy Sunday around 10 a.m. and had to wait about 20 minutes to get in. Despite the crowd, the line moved quickly, and the wait was absolutely worth it for the food. The seating process is based on party size, so smaller groups or solo diners at the bar tend to get in faster. If you’re a group of four, it might take a little longer. Once inside, I was impressed by how efficiently the staff handled the busy environment. We received our coffee within 5 minutes, and the food arrived about 15 minutes after ordering. The food itself was outstanding. I highly recommend the Eggs Norwegian, but the Mediterranean Crepe is another excellent choice. The portions are generous, the flavors are on point, and the prices are fair. This place really hits the mark with both quality and service. The only downside is the restaurant’s small size, which causes the wait time. However, they’re working to address that with some outdoor seating options. Overall, this place is a gem for brunch lovers.
Wow! Amazing! There is always a line at any good brunch place in the city. When I saw the line I figured it would take forever. NOPE, 10-15min later we were seated. My daughter got the strawberry stuffed French toast with bacon and an iced decaf mocha latte. She just kept telling me how good it was. I got a bloody Mary, and the croque madame. I made so many yummy noises. Some places, the hash browns are throw-aways. Not here! Everything was so good, and fast. It was a little loud and a very small, but the food and service blew me away.
Very good food, good service. Our steak and egg came a little too well done so they allowed us to keep the first serving and re-cooked another for us without question. The only drawback, the place is a little small and understandably crowded.
