I enjoy Spanish food and Spanish tapas, especially their seafood. I found this Spanish tapas restaurant, who also is opened for brunch. Their food looked really good, so we decided to head over for some good tapas for brunch. From the outside, it didn’t really look like much, and seemed really small. Good thing it […]

The Thirsty Koala
As I searched for a good Australian restaurant, I found this place with cute name, Thirsty Koala in Queens. With high ratings, we headed out for Australian Brunch! We arrived few minutes after they opened, and we were welcomed by a giant fluffy koala and baby koala, all ready for Halloween. The inside was […]
Le Baratin
Since the very first I had Croque Madame many years ago, I have been a big fan. I have had many Croque Madame at many different restaurants/cafes. Some good, some not-so-good, and some amazingly delicious ones. It is just such a nice, comforting dish, especially for brunch. Few months ago, I found this French bistro-cafe-bar […]
Mary Ellen’s Portuguese Bakery
I love finding a local hidden gem, so hidden that some of the other locals might not know about! This popular spot is hiding behind a Dairy Queen, and has that very cozy, friendly, home-y feel to it. A great spot for breakfast and brunch, especially if you like those home cooked or diner-like food […]
Amélie Wine Bar
One of the most interesting movies I’ve watched is called Amélie. It is such a cute, strange, adorable and weird story and characters! Well, I found a restaurant called Amélie, which is a modern wine bar/lounge with French flair. The inside decoration was…well, unique. It had white cloth loosely hanging on the black-colored ceiling, with bright red […]
La Bergamote
My weakness is desserts, and if it is Japanese or French, then that is it, I am done! I once heard a chef on a TV said that the best dessert he has ever had was a French dessert done Japanese way in Japan. I can totally understand that… However, while in America, I can […]
Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery
I have been wanting to go to Lafayette for some exquisite, upscale French-inspired desserts for a long time. We finally got to make our way over to this sweet heaven. It had a really large outdoor seating, more than most other restaurant, and they had big blue sunbrellas to keep customers cool. The inside was […]
Root & Bone
I have been wanting this visit this restaurant ever since they opened. Finally, thanks the the Restaurant Week Summer 2016, it pushed us to make the visit! We got there just when they opened, so that we will get the full, perfect service while they have the 100% energy. Actually, we got there when they supposed […]
The Leopard at des Artistes
Another great spot we got to visit during the Restaurant Week Summer 2016 was The Leopard at des Artistes. We went for a weekend Brunch. It is located nearby Lincoln Center, nice quiet area. It had scaffolding right on that building, so we could not fully appreciate the beautiful architecture design on the building. However, […]
Lou Roc’s Diner #2
Just as we promised, we went back to this marvelous diner, the king of all the diners (to us, at least), Lou Roc! Our last (and our first) visit was so incredibly amazing (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/lou-rocs-diner/), we just had to go back for more! You can also read about the background […]
