This past weekend, Steve's parents were in town for his cousin Matt's wedding. Matt, and his new gorgeous bride, Emily got married at Holy Rosary Church in Little Italy with the reception at Nightown restaurant in Cleveland Heights. We loved every minute of it! A big FFF congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs. LaVigne!!
And back to the foodie review...:)
Every time Steve's parents come to town, we try to take them out to restaurants that we feel can "show off" Cleveland and our fabulous foodie style. I felt that for a unique breakfast/brunch experience...there is no better place to try then, Le Petit Triangle. I was also dying to get back to Le Petit Triangle since the name/ownership had changed, to see how the changes effected the restaurant.
I am happy to report that the restaurant has lost none of its famous charm it had under the new name/ownership. The decor has not even changed much, a little yellow paint on the wall to brighten up, but the feeling you have escaped to a lovely cafe in Paris for about a hour...it still totally there.
Most the of menu has remained the same, but there have been some new additions which only add to the "fabulousness" of the cafe. The menu includes several other items in addition to their very famous crepes; from the Stuffed French Toast made with raisin walnut bread layered with sweetened chevre and maple syrup to the Chicken Ratatouille Omelet.
We all ordered crepes of course, (it is the way to go when visiting Le Petite Triangle) but I will definitely try that Stuffed French toast as soon as I can. Steve's dad was raving about the artichoke crepe made with tomato, gruyere and artichoke hearts and absolutely adored the fresh fruit parfait he finished it off with.
Steve ordered the smoked salmon crepe made with cold smoked Atlantic salmon filet, fresh dill, cream cheese served with red onion and capers , and I bravely took a bite ( I'm not such a fan of fish at brunch) and I was pleasantly surprised. It was sweet, salty from the capers and went lovely in the crepe.
My coffee was as good as it has always been there, wonderful. I know our good friend Jacquie still daydreams about that coffee. I also enjoyed a simplette crepe with scrambled eggs, brie and spinach. It was the perfect light breakfast I needed that morning. I have to note as well, that the proportions of the crepes are the perfect fulfilling size and even served with additional lyonnaise potatoes ...that are great. :)
We could not pass up ordering a dessert crepe, so we ordered the chocolate lover's crepe with dark chocolate and stawberries....mmmmmm...it was awesome!
All in all, Le Petit Triangle is still my favorite fabulous breakfast/brunch spot in Cleveland. And I am dreaming of when we get to head back.
