Review of Coutume Cafe

My friend and I went to Coutume for brunch on a la...

My friend and I went to Coutume for brunch on a late Saturday morning/early afternoon, and we were surprised with the ease of getting a table; we didn't have to wait at all! The lack of waiting, along with Coutume's relaxed & contemporary atmosphere, were the highlights of this quest for weekend brunch.

My friend and I each ordered a delicious hot chocolate (4,50 euros each) and got different brunch plates (see pictures). One thing to keep in mind is that their menu does change, because we went to Coutume with the intention of getting eggs benedict, which they no longer offered. :(

I was feeling especially hungry & indulgent so I also ordered a cheesecake slice, but the waitress completely forgot about my order so I had to ask another waitress again about 10 mins later. The cheesecake had a nice taste but was dry (would have been much better if they had some sort of a raspberry sauce with it or something of the sort). If and when you go to Coutume, you can expect the ambience to be great, the food to be good enough (but nothing mind-blowing), the waitresses to be friendly enough, but the service to be somewhat mediocre... so at least the prices aren't over the top (although it's not super cheap either).
