to share…great martinis, good food. I will go back.

You have to try the homemade doughnuts for dessert. They are excellent.

Food was great. Decor is fun. And it was so convenient to walk downstairs from our room at Hotel Andra and eat such a delicious brunch. I was so happy when I asked to substitute the potatoes with fruit, that instead of bringing the notorious slice of melon, or teeny bunch of grapes, they brought me a huge bowl with lovingly cut up kiwi, mango, papaya, pinapple, grapes, orange, and grapefruit. And it was all fresh! Cheers to damn good service.

I loved the design of this place. It wins the coveted Best Use of Wood and Leather in a Tasteful and Restrained yet Inventive and Modern Way prize, for sure. It wasn’t showy or distracting at all, but a perfectly comfortable environment for a nice long brunch. And the food was good too; I had a very silly breakfast of freshly-made doughnuts. Also the barrel-aged minty feta is remarkable, and comes on pita bread at least as good as Cafe Paloma’s.

This is one of my favs. In love with the greek spaghetti. Go for dinner or a lazy sunday breakfast.

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.

Great greek food.
