Breakfast In America is a kitch, cosy-corner of a diner, serving up typically American dishes such as the humble burger in many different varieties including the SUPER B.I.A burger, the New Mexican burger and even a veggie burger for all you herbivores out there. Equally as tempting as their burgers are their selection of sides, sweets and shakes. It's all too much to take in but my advice would be not to go overboard and order one of everything as from experience one can have that eyes-bigger-than-your-belly feeling.
The Sunday brunch menu makes this place truly delectable. Let me break it down for you. Basically it's a €16.50 formule compromised of three choices made by you from the three sections of the menu. The first section is mainly egg options served either as an omelette, sunny side up, scrambled, all with a side of bacon or a serving of tomatoes or home-made fries which I'd definitely recommend. The second section is all about pancakes. In my mind this section doesn't really pose a choice as for me it's pancakes every time. Finally you have to make the choice between OJ with an expresso or a regular mug of filter coffee, obviously the two aren't combined together as that would be an orange hinted coffee experience gone wrong.
Of course MP and I went for the formule, embracing the two course brunch experience, whereas BT opted for a less greedy option with the 2 x 2 x 2 (2 eggs, 2 rashes of bacon and 2 pancakes).
What a delight.
Unfortunately once I had poured syrup over stack of fluffy goodness I got too distracted to take a picture, so here they are without syrup in all their pancake glory.
This place is a little bit of an escape in the gastronomic centre of the world that is Paris but it's hard not to love it. The staff are friendly and service is efficient even with the queues of people waiting for their fix of typically diner-esque grub. For me it's a winner every time as it hails the most important meal of the day and my personal weakness; breakfast.
