Cafe Chloe, 721 Ninth Ave #1, San Diego

Cafe Chloe looks a lot like a coffee bar, but is indeed a bistro style restaurant with distinct sittings for breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Kristof and I went for brunch and had no trouble getting a nice table on a small patio fenced off from the street.

I started with tartiflette-reblochon, a brie, bacon, and potato tart followed by 'eggs piperade with procuitto and potatoes'. The tart was fun, like something you might knock up yourself for brunch. Very tasty and not trying too hard. The piperade was the classic onion, pepper and tomato base served with a fried egg on top. Did I like it? Yes, but I'd have prefered the more typical version where the egg is mixed into the peppers. Pomegrantite juice & lavender lemonade were both really good and the service was great.

It's a good, fun little place and I recommend it. And Kristof liked it too!
