☞ INTRODUCING: Egg Meurette at Barawine

We have not been able to really have a proper evening meal at the new Barawine on Lenox and 120th Street but were able to stop by for a bite of brunch on the weekend.  This corner of the Mount Morris Park Historic District almost seemed doomed for failure after a couple of restaurants have closed quickly in the past years but Barawine is consistently packed these days.  Notably on our particular day visits, there were not enough outside tables for the tourists or locals who seem to keep pouring in during the weekend lunch hours.

There is not a full brunch menu up yet at Barawine but egg specials are offered up on the weekends.  We tried out the Oeufs Meurette which is basically two poached eggs served with a savory wine reduction over crusty toast.  Most of the brunch found in the city consist of poached eggs with white sauces so the red wine sauce really got our attention and did not disappoint.  This French variation of Eggs Benedict was like a Coq Au Vin sauce served up with the richness of the poached eggs.  Overall the service, food and ambiance is up to par with Barawine so we will most definitely be dropping by for dinner service in the near future.
