What do you want after the NYC half marathon on a chilly Sunday morning?
Coffee, check! Warm clothing, check! Shower, check! How about yummy brunch? Definitely!
Where did we go for brunch on this chilly Sunday afternoon?
Marseille, part of the Tour de France group of restaurants including Nice Matin, Cafe d'Alsace, Pigalle, and many others, features the cuisine of its namesake. A nice sunny warm room facing out to 9th avenue, it was a buzz with conversation but not too loud that you couldn't hear the people you were dining with.
The menu was a mixture of brunch standards with their distinct flair, lunch salads and sandwiches, and more. There was plenty to choose from but I settled on their Frittata Verde with egg whites. It was the perfect sweet and savory brunch dish -- raisins, pine nuts, Swiss chard, pesto, and Parmesan. Super satisfying and filling with a springy light feel! Just what you want after a good long race. The nice thing about Marseille was that I could go back many times and find something new each time that I would want to try. You could tell that the chef has definitely placed his stamp on the classics and reinvented them to make them new and unique. A fun brunch place that's affordable with something for everyone.
Have a lovely Sunday evening folks!
