After giving up on Tom's, we decided to hop a bus to try and Cafe LULUc, a French bistro joint in the middle of restaurant row on Smith Street. Unlike Tom's, we walked in and got a table immediately, even though it was prime brunch time (12 pm). They have a nice shaded garden in the back of the restaurant, which we sat in. The menu is more standard brunch faire with omelets, eggs, and pancakes. They also have a wide variety of salads, soups, sandwiches, steaks, and pastas. The wait staff was efficient and my coffee refills came like clockwork. The prices were very reasonable with most dishes in the $6-9 range.
Because of the huge menu, I struggled with what to order. I ended up settling on a spinach and goat cheese quiche which came with a small mesculin salad. The piece of quiche was on the small side but was quite filling and tasted great. The salad wasn’t anything special but it was nice to have a healthy side for brunch. The other dish was a cheesesteak sandwich that had a very tasty caramelized onion sauce. The steak sandwich was good, though nothing too exciting.
The real draw of this place is the outdoor garden, good prices, expansive menu, and good tasting food.
