Nice Matin is one of those Upper West institutions -- always crowded, reliable and yummy food, and a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately however they do not take bookings for Sunday brunch which depending on the time you go and the number of people in your party, it could be a bit of a wait. Not today for us really and we got sat at a sun drenched table looking out onto West 79th Street.
Their brunch menu is a mixture of standard breakfast / brunch dishes with a nicoise inventive twist along with a selection of more standard lunch fare. They are participating in a stinky cheese festival going on around town for the next week but unfortunately it seemed that the stinky cheese fest was more of a dinner event.
So what did I have?
An artichoke, leek, pesto, Parmesan, and ricotta egg white frittata which was lovely, herbaceous, flavorful and satisfying after a nice long run in the windy cold weather this morning. Rustic yet light, the perfect bridging of winter and spring! Got me thinking, people don't use leeks enough in eggs, they provide a fabulous texture and unique flavor.
Go for a yummy and satisfying meal and enjoy the people watching, great for brunch or dinner, at any time of day.
