Truc Vert

Sunday brunch should be leisurly, of that there is no doubt. However, it doesn't take an hour to make an omlette and eggs florentine, especially when the next table arrives half an hour after you've ordered and then gets served first (well, they got two of their four dishes first, then one after we had got ours, then the last as the first pair were finishing up, so it wasn't just us who didn't like the service).

When it arrived, the food was pretty fair, brunchtime food. The omlette was a little over cooked (it had perhaps been sitting under a heating lamp for a while), but the eggs florentine was lovely; eggs beautifully poached, tart spinach and slathered in a wonderfully tangy hollandaise.

We got a free glass of wine as a apology, which was nice, but getting the timing right would have been nicer.

The restaurant is more like a deli that has tables, sort of like Bills Produce Store in Brighton, but on a much smaller scale, and without the fishfinger butties.

A lovely French-style gem in the heart of the city.
You can blindly choose from the menu, as everything is very tasty, from starter to desert.
It is not cheap, but worth every penny.
The service is good, yet more personnel might be needed at peak time.
