Having dined at Olympic Provisions the night before, our infatuation with the restaurant led us to order the Olympic Provisions breakfast sausage & eggs. Hooray for ground meat in an edible casing that was not bought frozen from the supermarket. I mean... yay for fresh sausage.
We also ordered the French toast made with fresh brioche from Portland's very own Pearl Bakery. See a recurring theme here? Fresh and local. I like. The house made berry jam was not too sweet and just tart enough to bring out the natural sweetness from the bread. The toast itself was lusciously soft. It actually didn't need any butter at all... but I love butter, and I love watching it melt and drip down the triangles of beautifully browned brioche. If that isn't live food porn then I don't know what is.
Allie chose the cauliflower & black kale hash, which had a bit of a Mediterranean feel with harissa, sheep milk feta and olives. We loved the potatoes, the bright colors of the vegetables and that they weren't overcooked. And of course, the best part was the runny yolk. That's morning sunshine in liquid form for you right there.
There were so many choices that called to us from their menu that we had to take some time to narrow the list down. Good thing our server at Bijou Café spent a good amount of time with us to hash out our final selections based on our tastes. I must say that there was great service from Portland restaurant staff once again. Bellies full, it was now time for a walk to Powell's to examine the wide selection of books there. Until then, let's all get S.O.F.A.T.
