What better way to start the new year than meeting a friend for brunch at a restaurant on my “Want to Try” list. Wallflower is a tiny 25-seat restaurant, plus a 7-seat bar, in the West Village with incredibly friendly and attentive service.
We decided to indulge in their bartender’s breakfast ($14) made with el Dorado 12-year-0ld rum, Pierre Ferrand 1940 Cognac, Nutella, coconut milk and Angostura bitters. We each sipped the libation through a red and white paper straw in the adorable small glass; it packed a wallop, tasting more like chocolate milk or a strong dessert. I’d absolutely recommend.
We decide to share the simple frittata Romana ($15) with artichokes, spinach, fingerling potatoes and pecorino cheese. Good, but nothing special.
What’s not to miss it the savory salad niçoise sandwich. The Pan Bagnat Sandwich ($18) comes on on chewy crusty bread with a hearty portion of cooked tuna belly, some olive tapenade, a saffron aioli, sliced hard-cooked eggs, lettuce and tomato, served with some fingerling potatoes. I’d go back for that, the unusual drink — and the friendly service.
