I was pretty pumped to try this famous brunch place.
The wait on Saturday noon was about 30 minutes which is pretty standard.
We got nice table for four people in the outdoor area and ordered crepes and burgers.
My crepe with fresh cheese and salmon was pretty bland and dry but my friends were happy with their choices and enjoyed the food.
Service was fast and our server was knowledgeable.
I was not too impressed by this place so probably will continue exploring other brunch options on Portrero

I bought my wife here for her birthday and it didn’t disappoint! Food was excellent, staff were excellent and the place has just the right amount of French bistro vibes.
The wine was also very good and recommended by our waiter - fortunately too because my knowledge of French wine is little to none. The mussels were a highlight - super fresh and tasty with just the right amount of spice. French onion soup, pork chop and the duck were also very very good.
Oh, and the ice-creams were the boom! We’ll be back!

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Ambiance: Casual Review only applies to the angus burger & french onion soup.
The French onion soup was great (5*) and I would order again.
The burger is a 3* for me.
I ordered mine with an egg and mushroom.
It is cooked perfectly medium rare, but it wasn’t as tasty as comparable gourmet burgers.
Also I felt $3 for 4-5 (what seemed to be canned) mushrooms wasn’t worth it.
Next time, I’d pass on the burger and try other entrees.
Service was exceptional, all the staff was very attentive.
It’s a small venue so you could end up waiting and you need the entire party to be present to be seated.
