Breakfast and brunch all day? From an award-winning chef? With cocktails? Yes, please.
Actually, Cafe Patachou had me at “breakfast all day.”
The new restaurant, which opens Friday, Nov. 21, at The Summit at Fritz Farm, just off Nicholasville Road and Man o’ War Boulevard, has been called one of the top 10 places for breakfast in the country by Bon Appétit magazine. And if the menu is anything to go by, it will be one of top ones in Lexington, too.
The menu includes breakfast and brunch items such as French omelettes ($15 to $17), croissant French toast ($16), chilaquiles ($15) and Ricotta Scrambled Eggs with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, chili oil and shaved Parmesan ($15.)
If your tastes lean more toward lunch, there are soups, including the signature Tomato Artichoke in three sizes ($6/$9/$16) and sandwiches (the Waffled Grilled Cheese comes with a bowl of the Tomato Artichoke, $16), salads and bowls, all with house-made dressings.
The Roasted Turkey Club with avocado, bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayo ($17) is legit, as is the Phat Rabbit, made with avocado, spinach, cucumber, tomato, radish, red onion, carrot, hummus and vegan pesto on house-made multigrain ($15, or for $2 more you can “Make it Dirty” and ditch the hummus for double pesto and bacon)…
