Worth visiting!

Charming!  — 2 years ago

Lola has got the most charming breakfast presentation. Little teensy jars of jam on a plate with pats of butter. Your own mini coffee carafe. Individually wrapped sugar cubes in a little white ceramic box. Everything is so cute. I ordered handmade doughnuts with vanilla marscapone and apricot jam. Handmade doughnuts! My companion in eating ordered world’s most horrifying breakfast: braised octopus with fried pork belly, potatoes and an egg. I tried to concentrate on my doughnuts but I could see the entire bowl of octopus jiggle from the corner of my eye as he cut into a piece. Ew. This menu item was called “Tom’s big breakfast.” What is up with that Tom, you freak? Whatever. I stole one of your tiny jam jars so now we are even.

Braised octopus? Gross!

Was it in giant squirmy purpley suction-cuppy chunks? Did your eating partner drop it from his fork and splash the slug-and-snail-related-creature’s abysmal inky sauce across the table onto your princess donuts? Gross!

yes and yes.

It was truly awful. I trust a gentleman like yourself would never subject his date to such suctioncuppy horrors.

Depths of the ocean forbid.

To enjoy the octopus is to enjoy it subtly. With, perhaps, a little suction cup pin on your sleeve or a twist of octopus in an extra dry martini.
