    Brunch here can be packed on weekends, so the restaurant is offering it seven days a week. Among the popular items is a crepe filled with scallion crème fraiche and salmon that is cured in-house. Read more

    If you can find it, you'll be happy you did. European styling and service. Brunch is wonderful. Bacon is cooked to perfection. Try the stuffed French toast only if you want a new favorite.

    The most adorable brunch spot in midtown east. Their French toast is unlike anything you've ever tasted. A crispy outside stuffed with a creamy mix of bananna and mascarpone. Mmmmm.

    Go for brunch and order the Croque Monsieur that’s smothered in melted cheese (in a good way) with a perfectly balanced amount of ham and toasted bread

    Food is great. Coffee is superb. That's the ONLY reason I keep coming back. Service SUCKS. Baguette didn't come till end of the brunch and the comment from the manager was" you can eat it or not"...?!

    Ze Cafe boasts tasty French-Italian cuisine and a chic, floral-focused décor that evidences its florist owners (Zezé and Peggy O’Dea of East Side flower shop Zezé’s Flowers). Read more

    Ridiculously slow. Took 10 mins to get order, now counting close to 15 mins just to get our drinks. hostess/manager just yelled at the servers publicly. Awk and unprofessional. Where's our food?..
