Cafe Moutarde: Pouces Au Dessous?
Though someone named buzzika on Chowhound recently dissed their Steak Frites, we’ve heard other people speak highly of Cafe Moutarde’s brunch. About the only thing we found online about the place was a glowing, albeit out-of-date, review of the Fifth Avenue restaurant’s brunch:
I appreciated the pain au chocolat and buttery croissants in the breadbasket. The orange juice is not fresh-squeezed, but the coffee is good and strong. The menu mostly consists of egg dishes such as omelettes and scrambled eggs with caramelized onions. I did enjoy my generously hollandaised salmon Eggs Benedict with mesclun greens and roasted potatoes; the English muffins were crisply toasted.
Brunchers were in full swing when we walked past at around 11 am last weekend and seemed to be enjoying themselves, but we’d like to hear from someone who’s eaten there more recently than 2003 before we try our luck.
