Brunch at Bistro 33 – $20/$30 – Astoria

Posted by Thomas Adamski
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Close to Astoria Park, this French-Japanese spot brings a fresh edge to the area, thanks to its modern decor and its sidewalk seating, as well as the tasty menu of inspired dishes. Try the Grits and Eggs ($14) : two fried eggs over cheese grits with mushrooms and aspargus.
If you like seafood, try the lobster omelet ($16). The Frog in the Hole ($14) is also a success : eggs with canadian bacon, gruyere cheese in ciabatta bread.
For the French touch, order the croque monsieur or the croque madame. Every dish includes your choice of a traditional mimosa, cranberry mimosa, bloody mary, sangria or Tokyo sunrise and coffee. Read the rest of this entry »
