We decided to go French for brunch because there was a French place nearby and had good reviews. We went to La Bergamote (177 9th Ave, New York,
NY 10011). When we walked into the restaurant we were bombarded with showcases of
delicious baked goods behind the counter.
Just seeing the endless baked goods lighten me up. We were instructed we
could seat anywhere so we chose a table in the quarter filled restaurant.

| Coffee |
I ordered regular coffee. They gave me a small cup of milk
that was frothed. I added half of the milk as well as a packet of raw brown
sugar in my coffee. Not sure if the it was the milk or the brand of coffee they
used but the coffee tasted exceptionally good that day.

| Chive Scrambled Eggs |
For my meal, I got the Chive Scrambled Eggs (chives
scrambled eggs, over toasted Brioche, side of mixed berries). The presentation
was beautiful. It was so pretty that I thought if I added any condiments to it
(eg ketchup), I would be ruining its beauty. I also thought it was fancy how
the waitress asked me if I wanted ground pepper on your food and her grinded
some on my food. The salad had a very light dressing. I could not tell it if it
was a very light vinaigrette or maybe oil with some kind of flavoring. The
fruits were very sweet and fresh.
The fruits were very sweet and fresh. I like it when the blueberries are
somewhat plump. The bread was thick but my on the airy side. I never had brioche but I guess this how brioche bread is. It was okay. It
was greasy and somewhat toasted on the outside. I would prefer a more dense and
toasted bread (aka not a brioche). The eggs were kind
of bland so I did end up putting some ketchup on it. Overall the food was okay
but I really like the ambiance of this place. I wouldn’t come back for something on the brunch menu but I might come back for coffee and to try their baked goods.
