Chez Celestine - Table reservation

We had read about the excellent brunch at "chez Celestine" and decide to give it a try. The atmosphere in the restaurant (offering take away cakes and special tea varieties) was cosy. The brunch comes in two parts, a "salty" serving followed by a "sweet" serving or alternatively a selection from the cake buffet. Both servings are copious and tasty.

Quite commendable as a brunch place or for breakfast but the choice is quite limited if you expect a restaurant with a regular menu.

Charming welcome, good bagels, and especially delicious pastries! Not tarabic stuff, but a great choice of well-made and gourmet comfort food. Special mention for the lemon square, lemon cake and homemade Twix (pepper caramel chocolate!
