As Easter is apparently the day of brunch - we naturally had to give brunch a try. So we headed down to South Park Slope to try Soigne, a relatively new wine bar and restaurant on 6th Avenue (486 6th Ave to be exact). Off the typical Park Slope brunch path, this was a pleasant surprise.
First, the place is really more restaurant than wine bar – it’s a restaurant with a bar really. It's good sized with outdoor seating and tables for two near the windows with larger tables in the middle and back of the restaurant. It's on the dark side with brown and green decor choices but with great natural light and home-y touches of 1930's art deco mirrors, it is warm, cozy, and bright. As it was Easter and in Park Slope, it had a rather eclectic crowd of young professionals, families, and older adults.
Onto the food, I got a crabcake benedict (jumbo lump crabcake over poached eggs with chive hollandaise sauce) as it sounded delicious and I had not had crab cakes in forever. It came with 2 petite crab cakes with a poach egg on top of each. Just the right size! Deliciously flakey and flavorful. It came with a small vinaigrette salad that was mediocre but it was a good compliment to a sort of heartier breakfast. Justin got a mushroom quiche with some sort of bacon which was also quite good. The menus aren't posted anywhere except literally outside restaurant as they change them quite often to ensure they are in season and using fresh ingredients.
The brunch entrees are between $12-16 but come with free coffee which it makes it alot more reasonable since most brunch places charge between $3-5 for coffee. Overall, a lovely brunch spot with good tasty brunch that I will definitely be returning too!
