Brunch At Bar Tartine

So guess what? There's also a Bar Tartine to go along with Tartine Bakery. Bar Tartine is a proper restaurant on Valencia. It's so nice on the inside. It's my dream home. I'd like to have an apartment that looked just like it. With the kitchen and all, minus so many tables. One or two would be fine though. Awesome floors, brick walls, columns, everything... I want it! I love the juxtaposition of how nice this place is and how slightly ghetto it looks right outside of the place, including the lovely graffiti on the window.
They serve blue bottle coffee here! So J had to get one, in an adorable little french press.
Forgive him for getting all artsy with the cream pouring shot.
The house-made merguez sausage, israeli couscous, corn, summer squash, mint, and poached eggs. Really f'in delicious.La Quercia organic cured ham with poached eggs and grilled country bread. So simple! Yet so good! It's just bread, topped with thinly sliced ham, and topped with eggs. But yeah, it was great! Service was good. We went on a Sunday morning, and we went during prime time, but we didn't have to wait, we we fully appreciated. But the place got packed within a few minutes of us being there. It's not a whole lot of food, but it's not particularly overpriced or anything, so it's definitely worth checking out. But you will probably need to eat soon after that... at least a snack! Next time, we'll check out dinner.
