French Toast
La Brioche Bistro serves both breakfast and lunch / dinner entrees. The dishes have strong influences from French cooking. A typical entree may include lush bread, croissants, mixed greens, etc. The breakfast dishes include both sandwiches as well as sweet treats. Both crepes and french toast are offered.
Description
The French Challah French Toast is one of the best dishes that is offered. Starting with three slices of thick cut Challah bread, a creme anglaise (English creme) is drizzled on. To top the dish, a mountain of fresh berries and bananas is added. Finally, whole caramelized pecans finish the spread and provide a rich added texture. Real maple syrup is provided in a side dish.
All this will run you $11.50.
Note: if you opt for all the menu-listed toppings (bananas, fresh berries, and pecans), an extra $5 charge is applied!
