Weekend brunch is extra fun when all we have to do is roll out of bed and head over to Belleville on the corner of 5th Street & 5th Ave. Walking in the restaurant quickly transports you to Paris. The tables are small, the apertifs menu is scrawled on the mirrors on the walls, there are even benches along the walls. You cannot go wrong with anything on the the brunch menu, which consists of the usual eggs, waffles, and of course French toast. The fish soup is a good starter to split with a mate. Lately though, I’ve been ordering the croque monsieur. Just ordering it makes me feel like I’m in France.

A 3-course meal in some of the nicest places in the borough for $20.06! This couldn’t come at a better time since karen and i decided to try every restaurant on 5th ave that we can afford.

The list of restaurants we’d love to dine in during the week:
1-Blue Ribbon
2-Blue Ribbon Sushi
3-Bar Minnow
4-Brawta Caribbean Café

Hmmm… they all start with B (for Brooklyn of course!) Let’s see how much cash we have. I’ll be happy even if we just have Blue Ribbon Sushi.
