The folks over at Cafe Flora invited me over to their restaurant to try their new brekafast menu. As of Jnaury 4th they have been serving breakfast from 9AM-2PM during the weekdays so I made my way over this morning to see what they had to offer.
It was my first time visiting Cafe Flora so I did a little bit of research before making my way over. Cafe Flora is a vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Seattle on Madison Ave. It’s a few feet away from Rover’s (The Chef in the Hat!!!!!) so I was thinking that one day I need to start at Cafe Flora and end at Rover’s……I would crawl with a full belly of awesome food.
You noticed earlier that I said it was a vegetarian/vegan restaurant and while that might turn off some of you I think you should listen to me for a second. Vegetarian, carnivore or whichever food club you want to be a member of is fine in my book as long as what you are eating is good food. The food at Cafe Flora will make you forget that something doesn’t have meat in it….it doesn’t need it. They have found a way to make meat a distraction if it was served with their dishes….yeah, it’s that good. Fresh ingredients with flawless execution.
Eric, what food are you talking about? When I go to places I have never been the first thing I ask the server is what they normally eat or like the most. Our server, Jack Wilson, read our minds. There were two things that stood out on the menu and before I said anything he said, “try the quesadilla and the forager”. He reads minds….and plays in a pretty damn good band, more on that later.
Eric, shut up, show us the food! Ok, geez…….here it is!!!! 
Fall Forager- Locally foraged wild mushrooms (chanterelle’s, my favorite!!!), crimini mushrooms, roasted butternut and delicata squash, fresh sage and Fontina cheese.
Breakfast Quesadilla- A flour tortilla filled with roasted yam, poblano peppers, corn and Pepper Jack cheese wrapped with egg topped with “Snappy Sauce (Chipotle)”, tomatillo salsa, lime creme fraiche, and served with wild greens dresses in cilantro vinaigrette
The Chef sent us over this plate of mozzarella cheese grits…….f’ing amazing.
I loved everything I ate. Mindy was with me and she loved everything as well. The two different sauces on the quesadilla….YES!!!! The absolutely fresh mushrooms in the omelette’s…..YES!!! Cheese grits….YES!!! If you live in Seattle and you’re not starting off your morning with breakfast at Cafe Flora then you’re not starting your morning.
Check out their site for their breakfast menu and more information about location, directions, and other menus for lunch and dinner.
