The brunch was ok. It gets busy in the afternoons, so finding a table on weekends can be tricky. I like the cozy decoration, though it can get noisy when crowded. I especially enjoyed the desserts with their teas.

Great place to have a nice Persian fog, sandwich looked really good. Higher price tag than usual but overall good quality. Service was not fast, but there was a crowed - which is fair, expected slightly faster.

the Persian Fog (Brouilliard Perse) was an amazing beverage, a must try - never had anything like it.

The decor inside is really cute & specially curated. It's a little small of a space, perfect for groups of 2-3, but maybe not much more.

Arrive early or make a reservation! We got there right after opening at 10am on a saturday & managed to get one of three unreserved spots

The omelette de montagne was amazing, but all of the food looked so good. About $25-30 per person for breakfast + a drink
