Epicurean Caffe

Epicurean Caffe Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Epicurean Caffe Bistro is a smallish and brunch-popular place with pretty tight seating (but nevertheless they take brunch reservations). Despite being really busy, I didn't feel rushed and was actually pretty surprised they gave us plenty of time to sort out our orders in between our endless yapping.

Pizza Buongiorno ($13.95) thin crust pizza baked with two sunny side eggs, pancetta, mozzarella & fresh arugula
  • It can come with a gluten-free crust, but they get pre-made crusts that they roll out and bake, and the gluten-free one being more expensive is smaller. I was highly encouraged to get the regular crust as it was bigger and tastes better. I should have gone with the gluten-free one to see if I got the same amount of stuff on the pizza.
  • Turned out to be pretty salty despite what *looks* like a light portion of pancetta/bacon.
  • Crust very thin, biscuit-crispy on the edges, and leathery to cut through even with the standard issue steak knife at every table. Probably wouldn't have torn very nicely.
  • Very orange egg yolks -- free range and organic I hope.
  • Overall nicely done, fresh tasting, and price is on par with what you pay for Neapolitan pizza nowadays (and the skimpy toppings is also comparable, sadly). If you want a heavier and more filling brunch/breakfast, get something else.
TIP: Important notes about their gluten-free fare, as well as trying to split a meal at the bottom of the menu!

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin
