The Gourmand Girls: Sunday Jazz Brunch @ Cafe Fleuri

02 April 2012

Sunday Jazz Brunch @ Cafe Fleuri - Langham Hotel

It is officially spring and the weather has been beautiful lately. Why not spend a Sunday afternoon at a Jazz Brunch at the Langham Hotel? I really just can not get enough of this place. On Saturday you can enjoy a Chocolate Shangri-La at the Chocolate Bar and you can come back on Sunday for the Jazz Brunch at Cafe Fleuri. What a fantastic way to wind down your weekend with live Jazz and good food.

Care for a beignet?

My best advice is to study the menu prior to your arrival so you can have a game plan! I said this before and it really is the truth for Cafe Fleuri but a picture really is worth a thousand words. I will take you on a pictorial tour:

OMELET STATION
Get your omelet made to order. There are so many choices: shrimp, lobster, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, oh my!

My Pepper & Mushroom Omelet, Yummy

CRÊPE STATION
Did someone mention crepes?! This time I want chocolate crepe with white chocolate, strawberries and Grand Marnier. Super delicious!

SUSHI BAR & SEAFOOD STATION
I saw this on the menu but I really couldn't grasp the magnitude until I saw it in person!

Raw Bar, Jonah Crab Claws, Sushi Variety, Crab Potatoes

One of my personal favorites is the Maine Shrimp "Martini".

THE CARVERY STATION
Choose from Salt Crust Roasted Prime Rib and Atlantic Salmon and Scallop Coulbiac with Amotillados Sherry Lobster Cream. Both are delicious but I was drooling for the salmon.

PASTA STATION
I made sure to pace myself so I would have room for the pasta! It is hard to decide what to eat when you have selections like 5 cheese tortellini, penne and gnocchi with multiple sauces & oils and other fantastic add-ins.

COCKTAIL PLEASE!

If you want to partake in an adult beverage then try one of the following:

The "Perfect" Bloody Mary
The "Traditional" Bloody Mary
Orange or Grapefruit Mimosa
Peach or Raspberry Bellini

The Cocktails

THE DESSERTS

I can not believe I am going to admit this but I was so full from all the food I couldn't even think about trying dessert. This happened once before. Lucky for me I have experienced the sweet sensations of Cafe Fleuri at their Chocolate Bar so I know that I missed out on a lot!
