Yes, I was that girl staring creepily at your pancakes at brunch yesterday at Le Barricou.
And yeah, I drank 2 bloody marys before my food came while I leered at you and your eggs benedict and stuffed warm fresh chocolate croissants into my mouth.
And YES, I then ordered a mimosa when my spinach and goat cheese croissant and eggs came and I loved every last drop.
AND I pulled the old Hey-did-you-see-that?-while-pointing routine in order to steal a piece of my brunch companion's delicious omelet and home fries.
And yes, I went back the next day to order those same pancakes that you couldn't finish. And I finished them.
Yes, I'm aware that I have a staring problem and I am drooling and there is random food stuck to my lip. YES! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!
unbelievable service, amazing specials (don't even look at the regular menu), and it seemed like everyone was getting a bottle for the table even though their cocktail list serves up unique combinations (did i mention the absinthe menu?)
thats the way to go here: specials and a bottle of wine
tucked around the corner from the main strip - surrounded by some of the best mexican food you will ever have is this amazing french gem in yes, williamsburg. a room in the back for the overflow has some leather couches to cuddle up w/ that someone special by the fireplace. they also have cute glasses with mini pencils in them so you can draw and flirt with a date on the brown paper "tablecloths"
don't be fooled, if you take a date here for dinner, you will certainly get laid - 4 stars only because its cash only or american express
can't wait to go for brunch
Planned a birthday party here for my GF.
I was the annoying person who kept changing reservation times and party numbers all the way to the last minute, but they smiled and accommodated and for that I was grateful.
I was also drunk.
I thought this French restaurant had a very slow-paced and European feel. The meals were not cheap, but they were worth it and well-proportioned. Next time I go, I'd like to be seated in the room with the fireplace, looks very very cozy. It made a great Friday night date dinner, there were other couples dining there as well.
We ordered a goat-cheese torte for appetizer, hamburger and chicken for meal, and creme brulee for dessert. Very good.
The waitress we had was exceptional. She saw that the burger was rare, not medium, and quickly returned it to the kitchen without questions or fuss. Great service on her behalf.
This is LITERALLY my favorite place to eat in all of Williamsburg and Greenpoint! The food is delicious with amazing sauces (my all time favorite, Coq Au Vin) I've had almost everything on the menu and loved it all! It's got a great atmosphere and the owner is there almost every time I've been there, which shows she really cares. Big helpings, great prices, cozy atmosphere, and good food!
I recommend both dinner and brunch, whichcomes with free coisants, including an amazing chocolate one!
Oh touche little Grand St. restaurant, touche.
Never would've expected such a perfect piece of fish (Red Snapper) and incredibly perfect steak frite, just steps away ... but, alas.
I would have to say everything I have experienced at this restaurant (right down to the bread) was compulsively good (as in: I dare you to stop eating)...
I love their fish, but the BF who is from Provence, likes the steak & hollandaise. I adore dinner, but their bakery items and brunch are far and beyond!
Bottom Line: Unexpectedly great french fare!...
My wife took me here for my birthday. The wait to get a table was about 10-15 minutes and the food was good. The hostess was friendly. However, the wait for the food was extremely long!!! The 2 ladies who sat next to us ordered 5 seconds (literally) before we ordered and they got their food 15-20 minutes before we got ours. We ordered the Eggs Norwegian and Spinach Omlette and the 2 ladies ordered the Eggs Benedict. The atmosphere was nice and the place wasn't overly noisy considering there was a good amount of people there.
We will try this restaurant again to give it a chance to see if the service is slow as it was today.
Pros:
Ambiance gets a ten
Food is decent
The help here's pretty good and personable
Nice beers and drinks.
Kitchen's open late (till 2)
Cons:
Its a bit pricier so just be aware and for the cost the food is good but not great.
Overall I'd say if you're in the neighborhood and want a nice place to go to this is a good one. Go with no more than four.
First of all, there was a piece of latex gloves in my salad. It kind of looked like a thin shard of cheese, yum.
Secondly (perhaps this should be first,) the owner was rude to his mother. In front of us no less.
And last but not least, the salad tasted like it had spent far too long in the plastic bag which they purchased it in.
So, I've heard people ranting and raving about this restaurant since it opened and now that I live in the area - I decided to go for brunch one day before work. I arrived around 135/140pm and I had to leave by 3 to go work brunch at my own restaurant. Our server was sweet and obviously really busy so I wasn't at all annoyed when it took 15 minutes to get our coffee. Brushed it off as a whatever - I've been there.
We put our food order in at 1:55pm and by 2:55 we had still not had our food. 3 orders of Benedict isn't really that complicated unless you're making the hollandaise from scratch which I highly doubt was happening on such a busy brunch. Again, I would not have been so annoyed because I understand being busy except for the fact that a table across from us had sat, ordered and finished their food in the time it took us to get our coffee and wait for an hour or more for our food.
By the time we finally got it, I had about 5 minutes to eat so I inhaled my half cold super hard poached eggs and ran out the door. I almost took it to go with me but, I was going to work at a restaurant - why bring sand to the beach?
Our waitress was apologetic and I could see the kitchen in a frenzy with all the orders they had but really... over an hour for eggs Benedict?
The croissants are a nice touch.
I love the decor, I love the atmosphere but I had a pretty shit first experience. I'll give it another shot - hopefully it will change my mind.
Solid food and friendly service. The salad was perfect - Get it if it's on offer. My entree looked amazing and tasted great. It was an impressive. My companion's chicken , which I sampled, was great too...we both cleaned our plates. They have a decent list of wines by the glass. 2 entrees, one shared appetizer, and 2 glasses of wine came to about $19 per person, with tax and tip. The vibe is candlelit.
Love finding a neighborhood place with solidly good food!
Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon and Parm was good. Service was greate, 5stars
Well I thought I had reviewed this place but apparently i missed it. I have been going here since they opened, been delighted every time, had the mussels, scallops, steak and ohhhh the burgers with goat cheese!!
Sadly I must say i went here last Saturday for brunch and was let down.
The waitress had a tude(wouldn't give us change for the meter, said they didn't have any with a little laugh but they only take cash or american express), they have increased all their prices, and the burger was so fatty my stomach was messed up all day. $5 for a juice! I could get a great beer for $1 more.
Don't think I will be back anytime soon:(
After a grueling day of moving from Manhattan to Brooklyn and staring into an empty fridge, Le Barricou looked like an oasis in the middle of the Mojave desert. I was a little bit confused as to what exactly qualified this place as "french" but I went with it...the escargot and the assortment of cheeses quickly convinced me that this was a great place.
We ordered delivery and the lady on the phone was nice and provided great suggestions.
**note - when ordering delivery you cannot get the assorted cheese or cold cuts plates. BUMMER. This did, however, convince me that I must actually attend this establishment at some point in the near near future.
We ordered:
pate maison ($9) - really good and came with some kind of amazing cole slaw on the side.
macaroni gratin ($12) - so good and probably even better when it comes right from the kitchen
bar steak ($18) - if you're a meat lover this is great (not to mention the yummy skinny fries that come on the side)
grilled chicken sandwich ($9.50) - like nothing I've ever had before. This was heaven in my mouth. The sweetness of the cheese with the avocado, chicken, tomatoes, and grilled bread...o.m.f.g. delicious.
merguez sandwich ($9.75) - also really goood
Overall a very solid experience. Everything was good even upon delivery. I will be visiting this place soon.
Tasty food, nice decor, and Victory Prima Pils on tap gets bonus points from me. My party had the coq au vin, mint leek risotto and moules frites, all were delicious.
Our server was attentive and had solid recommendations.
Food, service and atmosphere are 5 stars, I edged down to 4 because $6 for a beer and $6-7 side dishes seem a little steep, even though the haricots verts were great and it's my favorite beer.
Le-Bar-ri-cou.... oh-how-ilove-you.
You want brunch in the burg? Go to Le Barricou...especially if you are partial to chocolate… Read more »
I love Brunch at Le Barricou!
Free croissants, nice music, pleasant airy and bright atmosphere - its a perfect brunch! The pancakes are super fluffy and light, served with fruit filled butter and topped with blackberries, pears, and melon. I also love the heirloom tomato soup! Don't miss the chocolate bread-pudding with cranberries and fresh blueberries.
An all around wonderful experience!
I went to Le Barricou for dinner, sat at the bar, and had their house pate, then mussels, and my mate had the steak au poivre. All were excellent with nice prices to boot.
The bartender was super sweet, though she did forget some drinks that we had ordered, she did a good job keeping us liquored up. I had more drinks there in one night than I usually do all week. I think we got there around 8.15 and left around 2... we had a lovely time!
Note of caution: do not drink wine then have grappa, then a Capirihna, not a smart follow-up. Made me feel like it was amateur night, my own amateur night. What was I thinking?! C'mon Pam, you know better than to mix all that stuff! (Even the bartender said, "are you sure you want to order that capirihna? I did that the other week and it was a huge mistake!" Second note to self: if the bartender is concerned, think twice about ordering that last drink.)
Back to Le Barricou... it is a nice little place, I plan on going back but maybe not to sit at the bar and drink, and drink, and drink with friends. Can't handle that anymore. Will definitely go back for the food.
What are these complimentary croissants everyone is talking about? We didn't see any, and we were definitely here at high brunch.
In terms of food, Le Barricou is a much needed dose of sophistication in an area mainly occupied by bars, coffee shops, burger joints and shitty mexican. I found myself perplexed as I pored over the menu, tempted to order everything. The onion tart, goat cheese and spinach omelette, and the pancakes caught my eye. Finally, I settled on the gruyere, apple, and bacon omelette, despite my uneasiness about cooked apple being part of my savory breakfast. It was really all about the cheese. I'm a slut for gruyere and could not pass this up.
Let's pretend it was all about the food. The omelette was phenomenal. The apple/bacon/cheese combo was fantastic, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The breakfast potatoes that accompanied the dish were amazing, herbed and cooked to the perfect texture - slightly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. My friend's pancakes, he said, were probably the best pancakes he had ever had. And I'm pretty sure he's had his fair share of pancakes.
Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. They were very scattered, 3 different people assisting us at any given time, mixing up orders, coming to our table with the food of other customers. It was difficult to have any sympathy for the workers as the place was by no means full. They even resisted to honor our request to move to a smaller table (they gave the 3 of us one for 6), so as to let a larger group sit there. FInally, after debating with 3 waiters and the other party, we just moved. It was strange that something so easy could be a cause for such deliberation.
I really hope that I just had a bad experience with the servers, and that other Yelpers are correct in their reviews. The service wasn't terrible enough for to swear off a return, but it definitely docked a star. I hope that they prove me wrong...and fork over the complimentary croissants!
I'm really glad my friend introduced me to Le Barricou. It's nice to have a less expensive, nearby alternative to Diner or Dumont. The food is excellent, easily on par with most Williamsburg touchstones. Probably the most direct comparison I can think of is Sweetwater in terms of both quality and actual menu items on offer.
The atmosphere is great here, and the large dining room(s) easily absorb a crowd. I've never had to wait for seating at Le Barricou. The have a good, inexpensive selection of wine and beer, and all the standard cocktails you'd expect.
My friend who lives nearby swears by the roast chicken. I've had the hanger steak twice and been very pleased both times. Service can be a little clumsy in an affable way (oops! I forgot to put in your drink order, etc.) but nothing really bad, and the staff is so friendly it's easy to forgive them.
Once we were sitting at the bar finishing dinner when the chef arrived unannounced with a new appetizer from the kitchen (something involving eggs and asparagus) and asked us to sample it for him. Of course it was delicious. That's the kind of experience you really remember, and that brings you back the next time.
If your heart aches for the ultimate Parisian experience but you don't have the time (or cash) to front for a flight, just head to Le Barricou for the ultimate faux French fête. Absolutely everything about this place screams "francofolie"!
The walls are covered in French newspaper headlines and articles. The decor is French chic - very rustic and country villa. The washrooms smell of soft and romantic potpourri. You can order dainty pots of silk bag teas for $2.50. There's sexy French soul and jazz music playing, fresh flowers on the tables. Grainy dijon mustard and ketchup in individual serving pots. There's even a supercutie server called Kristen who's a dupe for the ultimate Parisian - miss Amélie herself, Audrey Tautou, down to the bouncy black pixie bob and megawatt smile.
The water service is absolutely peerless - your glass will never reach half empty thanks to incredibly attentive busboys and servers who keep an eye on your table at all times to ensure you have enough water and will clear away your places to make room on your cozy table.
When you have a seat you'll immediately receive a basket of pain au chocolat (ie: chocolate croissant) and plain croissants. I dare you to be satisfied with only two - I kinda wish Le Barricou had a limitless croissant basket not unlike Olive Garden's breadsticks, although for the sake of my waistline (what?) it's probably good that they don't. Extra croissants will run you $2 apiece.
I ordered a savoury eggs florentine that had the most incredible presentation. Blanched baby spinach, perfectly poached eggs and a funky radicchio, dandelion and arugula salad and roasted chunks of potatoes seasoned with flecks of fresh thyme and rosemary.
When your bill arrives it comes attached to a classic French Art Nouveau postcard specially made for Le Barricou advertising their hours, phone number and address. It's so pretty you'll want to display it somewhere conspicuous.
Lovely, lovely, lovely brunch hideaway. C'était vraiment inoubliable (unforgettable)!
For a moment, my boyfriend and I were coming to Le Barricou on a weekly basis for brunch. The free croissants they serve in the beginning can't be beat. Love the music they play, service is always great, we get seated right away and one of the male waiters always remembers us.
I have pretty much tried every single brunch entree on the menu and my favorite would be the ham and cheese croissant plus free coffee refills.
Underrated: the inclusion of fruit in savory foods.
A feminine sweet-tooth inclines my palate towards the tart and toothsome; when perusing a menu, I'll inevitably cave at comfits and candied-reductions. This review is dedicated to the apple-and Gruyere-omelet at demure, unbranded Le Barricou (you'll have to find the name of the restaurant printed atop the menu hanging in their window). A gratifying reprieve from that brow-furrowing fork in the road - sweet brunch? or savory?, paired with bottomless coffee and set against an unpretentious and bustling backdrop = heaven. ~$10pp is the nail in the coffin; against many a moral fiber, I've actually found reason to frequent Brooklyn.
This place makes a great first impression. And the food is even better!!
I went for brunch on Saturday. Kind of off the beaten track (and in a seed-y area), but it maintains the Williamsburg hipster-vibe.
I had an omelet and brunch cocktail. Both were very good. The eggs were light and fluffy and the cocktail was well mixed. Further, it was rather inexpensive (compared to Manhattan's brunch prices.)
I would like to return for their live music and wine sessions.
If you are in the area (say vintage shopping next door??) then stop in for some good grub.
We went here on a Sunday for brunch. They have brunch till 6pm for the late sleepers. This stretch of Grand St. has been really cleaned up in the past year or two and this quaint inconspicuous spot is definitely a must try. The decor is very earthy with yellows, browns, and dim lighting. There is ample seating for a Williamsburg eatery and a few tables are situate at the front of the restaurant with access to open air.
The staff are welcoming and courteous. We ordered the vegetarian white egg omelette and scottish omelette. The eggs were very fluffy and sauces flavorful, no salt necessary! I also saw neighboring tables order some very tasty looking bacon, and another person order some huge pancakes. I had an ice coffee that was just strong enough. For desert we had a very soft tasty chocolate-raspberry bread pudding that wasn't part of the menu.
I definitely would come back here to try other items on the large inexpensive brunch menu and for dinner as well.
I recommend this place for brunch and maybe a sandwich for lunch, but for dinner you can do better for the same price.
Moules Provencale: it had a real spicy kick to it, me likey! The meal ends on a fulfulling note when I wiped the sauce clean with the hearty, thick and chewy bread. House cocktails were dreamy. Our waitress was exceptionally friendly and we had to leave a 20% tip. Will go back.
Fire up your bloody marys folks, butter your croissants and crack those eggs, cause it's time to get down to Le Barricou for a made-in-heaven brunch.
Barricou does brunch right. Exhibit A: brunch bread basket hits the table when you do, with warm, tasty bakery-fresh croissants. Spicy bloody marys blast your Sunday head into rapid-fire cognition with surprising guests like chipotle chili paste and green olives.
And the eggs, oh the eggs. I've been on a poached egg kick lately so I had very little trouble deciding on the excellent Eggs Norwegian--though the Croque Madame is excellent too, if you're a fan of soft, chewy, melted gruyere, seeded mustard on french bread and sloppy warm egg yolk running all over that action. Yes, you are.
All this with a sunny atmosphere, sunnier service and no wait at all on a Sunday. Enjoy.
Stayed with a friend who lives across the street from Le Barricou and decided to get some grub there after waking up at 2 pm - my body's attempt at recovering from the 6 hour transcontinental flight. Felt a little sketchy about eating there as the whole place only had one other patron and the woman who took our order looked disheveled (aren't all New Yorkers supposed to be anorexic fashionistas?) and quite frankly a little disinterested about being there. I was too lazy to go elsewhere and decided to give the place a shot and am super glad I did..
I'm a huge croque madame fan (those of you who don't know what the eff I'm talking about, order it the next time you see it on the menu if you love bread and cheese as much as I do) and was so excited to see it on the menu. It was absolutely delectable, not too greasy, just enough béchamel sauce, perfectly cooked egg and it was served with perfectly fried fries.
Bottom: Although croque madames and fries are such simple foods, in my experience it's that very reason that makes it hard to make it damn good. This place does one of the best jobs I've tasted in awhile - go check it out.
Best Crêpe I've ever had.
Met up with a friend here on a Thursday night around 7pm, and the place was completely empty. I liked this place a lot though - the coziness and decor was a nice escape from the overcast skies and empty streets outside. I"ve been to many French restaurants, so I give this place about 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4) because of the value of the food.
Ambiance:
Cute cozy interiors w/ dark wood, skylight, and a big back room for private parties. Nice environment for a date.
Service:
Good service (maybe because it was empty??) but the waitress described their food and specials very well, and suggested a great rose for me.
Food/Drink:
The menu was varied and served breakfast + dinner items. Nothing was out of the ordinary - just comfortable French cuisine you're used to. I started w/ the Rose, which was a strawberry grenache syrah. Nice and light, not too dry, not too sweet. A free dish of olives + bread was provided, normal stuff. I got the cauliflower soup w/ encrusted pieces of asparagus and parsley. The soup was pureed w/ some cream and so so so tasty. I also ordered an Endive + Arugula salad w/ apples, walnuts, and fried balls of ricotta (or some kind of soft cheese). The dressing was a lemon vinagraitte, which i loved. My friend ordered the Croque a Vin (chicken) and he said his was very tasty as well.
The food was good and not too salty or overseasoned. The prices were very decent for French fare, which is why I bumped this place from 3.5 to 4 stars. I'd recommend this place, especially for the Williamsburg area. It's a find.
Great prices. Cute atmo with the sofa and fireplace in the back. I love Brooklyn and I never get to hang out in BK, much less Williamsburg. I'm glad I got to sew what life is like outside Manhattan, as it was my friend's birthday brunch here.
The upside is the cheap entree prices (you can never go wrong with an egg's benny), but the downside is that there's no cocktails included in your meal. So two cocktails + meal ends up being more than expected! Thankfully, my friend had a bottomless pregame at her apt before the brunch. That's right... pregame at 11am, you love it.
Nonetheless, I had a great time here, and I will try more Williamsburg restaurants in the future!
I must have arrived too late to brunch (my friends were already sipping on bloody marys when I got there) to partake in these "free croissants" everyone else is yelping about. The adorably welcoming waitress promptly came over to see if I needed anything as I joined the table ($5 mimosa please!). Now I love mimosas, and I am hardly a mimosa snob, but theirs is sooo good I can't imagine ever wanting to drink them anywhere else.
I ordered the ordinary sounding Spinach and Goat Cheese Croissant ($8.5), and was presented with a rich buttery croissant filled with sautéed spinach and crumbled goat cheese with 2 sunny side up eggs and a salad. I found it strange that the eggs were not already in the croissant, but by breaking the runny yolks and letting the it pool under the croissant the blissful brunch is born!
Our table in the front room was comfy and although near other diners we hardly noticed anyone else was there. The space has an amazing backroom with a friendly wood burning stove and sofas just begging us to come back tonight and drink in its warmth.
Alas, the bathroom is dank and cold, but smells like lovely geranium hand soap.
I will be back - and I will eat you Mr. Free Croissant... you and your chocolate filled friend.
i've only ever been here for brunch. adorable little place, getting busier every week (which is both a good thing and a bad thing!) be prepared to wait on a saturday/sunday. the french toast is my favorite -- a big portion and comes with a pile of fresh fruit and whipped cream. service is alright, considering how busy they are. free croissants!
For a brief stint I lived in the vicinity of this wonderful restaurant.
We have JUST RECENTLY relocated back to Manhattan's Financial District.
We've got Les Halles down the block, but all we want is Le Barricou.
Our apartment was total shit, and we wanted out of there like hell, but the Fisherman's Soup saved my girlfriend and I so many times.
Now. Let's be clear here. I'm a Per Se, Le Bernadin, L'Atelier, 2-3 star Michelin veteran. I'm French and have lived in the southwest French countryside and most definitely know my shit.
Josh Boissy, the owner of this joint is one of the most dedicated restaurant owners I've ever had the pleasure to know and dine with 5 days a week.
The service is sweet and impeccable for the neighborhood, and in the rare occasion of a mistake - they are eager to make it up for it - either on the bill or a wonderful surprise flourless chocolate cake.
Everything on the menu is so incredibly reasonably priced for the quality of food they deliver - I have no idea how they do it. The bar steak is of incredible value and quality that it blows every other bistro in the 5 boroughs out of the water.
BEST escargots i've EVER had.
They stack each French imported shell with two escargots and pack each tight with garlic, parsley and butter - AND IT'S HIS MOTHER, SHARON'S RECIPE WHO YOU CAN FIND HELPING OUT IN THE RESTAURANT ALL THE TIME.
The burger is awesome. Though maybe not the best in town, it's perfect for what it is. Fries are the perfect thickness, crispness, and well seasoned.
And now. My favorite dish - The Moules Provencale.
Steamed mussels in a white wine, tomato, and chipotle broth served with a side of those delicious fries.
The mussels are done just right, and the broth is amazing. It's just the right mixture of French provencal tradition with a heat and spice that's so well suited to the modern American palate.
I love slurping the broth like it's a soup and soaking it up with the fries.
Their wine list is also incredibly well versed. The Bordeaux that they offer by the glass is the same that is offered at Balthazar if you actually have any questions about the menu's integrity. I've also ordered many great bottles of wine here from Grenache to Gamay. But, every single bottle that I've ordered here has been beyond satisfactory, and I will say again, at an incredibly reasonable price.
Some of the other reviews on this site have made me twitch in frustration in regards to the overwhelming population of people who are too goddamn lazy to go to a restaurant to order something like a Bouillebaisse, and instead have it delivered to their apartment - only to complain about it. To you I say:
Spare the universe your bullshit opinion of a restaurant's fine quality food that you're too goddamn lazy to go taste for yourself in person. Reviewing a restaurant in this way is like watching the trailer of a movie on youtube without actually seeing the movie and proclaiming that it sucks to your bullshit pack of idiot friends.
Get a brain, a palate, and a sense of decency for God's sake.
Finally, they've got a great selection of digestifs - wonderful ports, grappas, and calvados - not to mention the same high quality boutique coffee that is served in places like Daniel and Jean-Georges.
My girlfriend and I have made a vow to return to this restaurant once a month, and we'll be there on Valentine's Day for the prix-fixe menu to celebrate our anniversary.
We love you guys. We really do.
went for brunch and it was fantastic. as others have mentioned, the chocolate croissants and other pastries served for free are great.
I went for a late dinner on a Wednesday night and found that the servers get the timing, food advice, wine suggestions and tableside manner perfect every moment.
Loved it.
had a late lunch here today. The decor has a Paris neighborhood bistro feel and a great atmosphere. the eclectic background music helps a lot for the experience. The wine list is OK, tried 2 of their reds, nothing to comment about them. I had the steak and frites (excellent!) two glasses of wine and a creme brulee for dessert. The service was good and the food was fantastic. What a pleasant lunch I had. I'll def. go back and try their brunch...
Went here over mother's day weekend. We needed a brunch spot that served bloodys and Le Barricou fit the bill. I love the fact that they hit you up with mini croissants the moment you sit down.( Why don't more places do this?)thing is: we were 4 people and they only brought us 2, what the heck?
I ordered the eggs florentine which was ok, but had serious order envy when my boyfriends croque madame arrived. Smothered in cheese and bechemel with a perfectly cooked egg, the way a madame should be. If I find myself in this somewhat out of the way part of town again, thats what Im getting.
Girlfriend and I took an out-of-town friend here for brunch before her flight home after the shuttle bus spoiled our other plans (thanks, Yelp! iPhone app.) I was blown away by my merguez plate and my companions enjoyed their omelettes. The complimentary chocolate croissants before our meal was a nice touch.
