So I had read on one of the local newspaper's websites about the brunch at La Mie Bakery(on 42nd street), so I wanted to give it a try. So Shannon and I headed over there. around 10 or 10:30 or so. We had to wait a bit for a table, but eventually got seated. I had a mocha and shannon had an orange juice before we sat down. We were eventually led to our table and sat down at the back of the restaurant. The menu was small, but the choices sounded pretty good.
Shannon had the omlette fromange with cherry yougart and I had the encrusted cinnamon toast with twice baked potatoes. We waited for our food.
So the resturant is very simply decorated. It has paintings on the walls and simple chairs and tables.
The food arrived.
Not to offen am I this impressed with the presentation of food. Shannon's plate was setup in such a fashion that it just seemed to work. The omlette was decorated with cheese, chives and sour cream on the side of it was a simple greens salad with a vinigrette dressing. Her cherry yougart had cherrys and walnuts in it. All of these things tasted very good. I was quite impressed with consistantcy of the little part of the omlette (of her's) that I had. The encrusted cinnamon french toast was sliced into quarters and balanced together in a sort of teepee type thing with spaces and in the spaces there were fresh strawberrys and fresh blueberrys all over a lake of syrup. The taste...oh my god. Previously the best french toast I had, was my friend Nathan's made with Challah, but this...was just down right amazing. I dont know what the bread is but I was in heaven. The twice baked potato, we both aggreed, was just down right amazing. A combination of potato (very well mashed very creamy), sour cream and chives and one other thing mixed in with the sour cream that I couldn't identify. Heavenly is all I can say (Shannon says they were Yummy).
Shannon was still a bit hungry so she ordered a croissant, which was really good to. The crust was flakey, the insides were very fluffy. The jam was strawberry and nummy too.
We picked up a big oatmeal raisin cookie for me and a chocolate chip cookie bar for Shannon (we ate these later and they were yummy) on our way out.
I gushed about this place on the phone to my parents for like 15 minutes...it was silly.
We are definately going there again!
