The beginning….it all started when we decided to get together for some breakfasting one Saturday morning. The place chosen, Le Jardin Du Roi.
Place: Le Jardin Du Roi, 95 King Street, Chappaqua, NY
Attendees: Jeff, Pat, Sylvia
Sylvia: This is a cute little french bistro in Chappaqua. The food is good, albeit a bit on the pricier side (it is Chappaqua after all). I had initially ordered the Omelette aux Epinards (spinach and goat cheese omelette) with a croissant and a small cafe au lait. What I was served was the Omelette au Saumon Chevre (smoked salmon, onion and goat cheese omelette) instead. No complaining since they only charged me what I had originally ordered. The Omelette au Saumon Chevre was pretty good. The smoked salmon and goat cheese combo was not over powering for an omelette, but it’s presence was definitely there. The croissant was deliciously buttery and flakey. A step above the usual croissants one would find, but not the best I’ve had. They also had almond or chocolate croissants available. The service was fast, although due to the mix up, I’m not sure I’d call it attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and enjoyable. A nice place to go on a special kind of day.
Pat:
What I had: Bacon and Cheese Omelette, Coffee
What it cost: 9.00 for the omelette, 12-13 including tax and tip
Worth it?: Eh
The Rating: 2.5/5
The details: The omelette was huge, but the eggs were a little dry and the cheese unevenly distributed, leading to a few more of those “only egg” bites that I dread in an omelette. I really enjoy the potatoes, though I missed the toast I have grown accustomed to with my omelette orders. The bread served before the meal was a lackluster substitute. The coffee was nothing special. At about a dollar more than a diner omelette, it wasn’t horribly overpriced, but it wasn’t any better than standard diner fare. The service was lacking.
The Recommendation: Not a bad morning option, but nothing to distinguish it from your local diner (at least not for breakfast).
