Figaro Cafe (Los Feliz)

By in 04: Los Feliz

Had brunch at Figaro Cafe which I did an entry before. The impression wasn’t so good last time, so I keep to their breakfast menu. I got Egg benedict (poach egg on English muffin and ham), and wow it tasted really good! The Pear Chocolate tart is delicious as well. This place is redeemed in […]

Alcove (Los Feliz)

The Spinach Egg Puff with Cheese was so-so, the puff too soggy and cheese layer a bit too rubbery texture for my liking. Unlike that red velvet cake last time, the St. Honore cake was fantastic!

Mauro’s Cafe (Melrose)

By in 09: Weho

Le Marmiton (Montana Ave.)

By in 16: Santa Monica

Quite far from my office but meet up with Yan for lunch here anyway :p I was shocked to find that Le Marmiton‘s space was chopped in half. Now there’s only the bakery area with far less tables. Their pate is always good. I had the Grilled Foie Gras, a bit dry outside and small […]
