Margot Cafe and Bar

Hope everyone had a great Canada Day! And if you're in the US, Happy 4th of July! I just got back from an awesome but tiring trip to Europe, so CK and I just laid low and took it easy.

We watched movies and vegged out on the couch with a bag of my new favorite chips: PC Loads of Ketchup Chips. You've gotta try them! Absolutely mind blowing how much seasoning is on those ketchup chips. The other flavors don't live up to expectations, but the ketchup is awesome!

My post this week features a great brunch spot in Nashville called Margot Cafe and Bar. Situated in a renovated 1930's building, Margot's is a lively ecclectic restaurant where people flock to every Sunday morning for brunch.

The menu changes often, offering fresh dishes that are rustic French and Italian influenced.

While waiting for a seat, we all started with some bubbly. Between the 6 of us, I think we pretty much ordered every bubbly offered on the menu. My favorites were elderflower, scarlett (blood orange), rhubarb, and the bellini. As you can imagine, we were all very 'happy' by the time we were seated.

I was craving Italian cold meats badly that day, and made sure every one of my dishes had it. To start, I ordered the sopressata with radish, celery, & pecorino salad. The salad was just simply delicious.

My main meal was poached eggs on tuscan toast with asparagus and no hollondaise. To satisfy my taste buds, I also added prosciutto to the dish. The prosciutto was fatty, tender, and slightly thicker than what I was used to, but really good. When I asked the waitress about it, she informed us that it was brought over from Italy.

Just as I was about to cut into my food, the waitress brought over a jar of a green secret sauce that she recommended me eating with my eggs. The secret sauce was a jalapeno sauce with sea salt. It was a refreshing mild sauce that went really well with my brunch.

For starters, CK ordered the pastry plate: cinnamon pecan sticky bun, coffee cake, and a housemade biscuit

For his main meal, he continued with his sugar theme and ordered the cornmeal pancakes with strawberries & warm maple syrup. These were fantastic: warm, fragrant, and comforting.

Our cousin, K ordered the sugar snap peas & ricotta crepes with mint gremolata.

One thing I loved about Margot's was their beautiful China. Eating and drinking out of beautiful dishes puts a smile on my face...it really is the little things in life.

For dessert, our table shared the home made strawberry ice cream served with a pizelle. After taking a small bite, I totally regretted not ordering my own.
