Mike and I met at the Atlantic/Pacific stop in Brooklyn with the goal of brunch and a movie. We didn’t do good enough brunch research, so we wandered around the streets towards the Boerum Hill area until we happened upon something interesting.
The choice of the day was Jolie; a cute little French place with their very own Jolie postcards on the tables.
The decor was interesting: Red, White, and Black (my favorite combo) with pictures of french and pop art on the walls.
I decided on one of my favorite meals: Eggs Norwegian. It was an english muffin with smoke salmon, poached eggs, spinach, and hollandaise sauce. Now the hollandaise definitely beat The Highline Cafe’s version from the previous weekend, however, the rest of the the meal was lackluster. Nothing that bad, per se, and at least the eggs were cooked to perfect runniness, however, the smoked salmon was nearly tasteless and the rest… just okay. The fries were perfectly crispy, however.
Mike ordered the Open Faced Croque Madame with toast, ham, and a sunny side up egg with swiss cheese (I prefer gruyere on my Croque’s personally). It was also decent, but nothing amazing.
We left with full bellies on our way to see “Taken,” which wasn’t half bad!
