The Breakdown:
- Occasion: Weekend brunch with friends.
- Attire/ambiance: Casual, quaint / rustic European decor.
- What to order: the Croquet Madame. The salmon omelette also looked great though.
- Reservations? Nope. Expect a good 45-60 min wait around brunch time on weekends. (Worth the long line though!)

This beauty pictured above is a croquet madame from Petit Abeille, a cozy little French brunch spot in NYC with very high Yelp ratings. It may not look like a lot of food, but trust me - it was very filling and heavy.
This dish in particular got tons of rave reviews. Didn't know this before but a croquet monsieur is basically a French grilled ham & cheese, and the madame has an additional poached egg on top (like the hats that Parisian ladies wore back in the day).
Very, very happy with my choice of the madame. There’s something deeply satisfying about mopping up rich, runny egg yolk with a thick loaf of bread covered in melted cheese...
