Le Breakfast Club & Moulerie

Review Summary

Le Breakfast Club & Moulerie is widely praised for strong breakfasts and brunch, a lively family-friendly vibe, and the wood-fired pizza oven that draws diners for evening meals as well. The menu covers everything from eggs Benedict, mussels and seafood to burgers, pasta and other Italian-inspired dishes, with many reviews noting fresh ingredients, good presentation and solid value. Service is described as attentive and friendly when the staff are available, but experiences vary with some visits reporting slower or rushed service during busy weekend periods and a few missteps. The atmosphere can be lively and noisy at peak times, which some guests enjoy while others find it overwhelming.

Overall, the restaurant remains a popular, reliable choice for breakfasts and casual dining, with several visits described as consistently satisfying and a good reason to return for both the brunch and the pizza-focused evenings.View restaurant profile
