Bonjour, Bonsoir everyone =)
Breakfast at Le Cafe Pouchkine.
Russia meets France. A fusion of food, design, and flair.
So I combined our visit here with breakfast. We were shown to our table on the first floor of the café restaurant and before we could even go over with the menu, Pinpin and I went gaga taking pictures, haha. What can I say, we have a very nicely situated table and there is a big Christmas tree just a meter away, a great excuse for a lovely backdrop when posing.
They have 4 menus:
1) Breakfast menu 2) Complete menu 3) Russian menu and a 4) Bar menu
Not a big breakfast eater here I am afraid, so I ordered a breakfast set of 3 Viennese pastries, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and pot of hot Earl Grey tea. The pastries were small so they were enough for 1 person. They were not too sweet as well which played well with my taste buds.
Pinpin wanted something warm so she chose an omelet which arrived very fluffy and foaming.
We enjoyed this breakfast. The setting is very opulent and we like that, which is the reason why we came here in the first place. But I can also very much tell that the pastries were of very high quality. They were delicious too, and of course, they all came with a price.
The café is open at 08:30 so just perfect for breakfast and morning snacks but when it’s not that busy yet. Towards lunchtime and in the afternoon, you will need at least 15 minutes queuing up time before you are seated. So the best bet is to come early! Have breakfast like we did.
There are 4 Café Pouchkine’s in the city but the best café with the amazing grand old interior is the one at Place de la Madeleine.
The patisserie shop for takeaways is not to be missed as well.
