Zazie @ SF

What a cute place for brunch! Waiting an hour for Zazie is totally worth it, seriously. I love the cute little french-cottage-decor. I love the menu, everything on it looks so good. I can totally see why their eggs benedict made it to the 7x7 list, yums! I love how everything is so fresh, comes out hot and not too greasy. This is definitely not diner-fare, but good food! Oh yea, at the bottom of the menu it disclaims that an extra $1 is added per person at the table to provide health insurance for workers. I think that's sweet, and I appreciate them adding a written disclaimer rather than just increasing the prices out of no where. Oh yea quick tip, go on a weekday. While the weekend brunch is good, but the weekday lunch/brunch is better because you get the weekend brunch menu, as well as the weekday lunch menu. I like options, so the more the better - although it does make my decision-making-ability more difficult. Oh well, here are pics!

when you order tea it comes in a cute tea kettle

Special Egg Skillet Dish

[Fried Polenta, Mushrooms, Basil, Fresh Tomato Sauce, Cheese,  Fried Eggs]

this was amazing, and i was so jealous my little cousin ordered this. the flavors just popped all over the place. the tomato sauce was perfect (good amount of acid, sweetness and sugar). the whole thing tasted like a lasagna, but not heavy at all. i can't find this anywhere on their listed menu, so it must be a special item. hmmmm

Eggs Benedict 

[english muffin, avocado, bacon, poached egg and hollandaise sauce]

best thing ever! honestly, the best benedict i've ever had. best part was that we ate in the little patio in the back, which is exactly what 7x7 suggested i do. the eggs were cooked perfectly. egg whites were all set, and the egg yolk was just runny enough. hollandaise sauce was freshly made, not all icky and congealed. they really know how to make their benedicts 

Scrambled Eggs w. Black Forrest Ham & Cheese

tasted pretty normal, nothing wow. good cheese though, i think it was fontina. nothing special about scrambled eggs. 

also tried:

-grilled chicken breast sandwich: tres delicious. chicken breast nice and tender. good amount of spread, and bread was nice and crusty

-croque madame: yums! loved the bread, and the gruyere was fantastic
