We decided to work in brunch before our movie last weekend, and did so at Blackbird Cafe near The Cathay.
Jamie ordered the Croque Monsieur ($14.80) - Oven baked brioche with bechamel, ham and gruyere cheese, served with mixed greens.
According to him, it's basically ham & cheese sandwich done French style. I must say, his description is much easier to comprehend haha. I stole a bite off his plate and the sandwich was mega cheesy, which I really like. It was not too gelat according to him, but I can see how it easily it can be for non-cheese lovers.
I had the Berry Merry ($13.80) - Roasted chicken breast with rosemary herbs, served with brie and cranberry sauce on turkish bread.
I enjoyed the pita bread very much as it was fluffy and crispy. The cranberry sauce was not too sweet either, much to my relief. This was very filling, even for a big eater like me. I gave 1 portion out of the 4 to my boyfriend and was still stuffed.
Stunned Jamie, looking like he got out of bed not too long ago. Probably is the case.
I also had a pot of Peppermint Tea ($5.50). The tea flavour was on the light side but it was still pleasant to drink, though I would have personally preferred a stronger peppermint flavour.
We very much wanted to try their Kapiti Ice Cream as there were some unique flavours such as Figs & Honey, Hokey Pokey, and Lemongrass & Ginger, but we were so full and needed to head off for the movie.
The food in general is not too bad and the environment is great for your weekend brunch hangout. Price-wise, unfortunately it isn't exactly value for money and you would probably spend $20-$25 per person for a meal and drink.
