The Dandelion Market

I actually visited The Dandelion Market twice for their brunch menu while in Charlotte for a friend’s wedding,. The first time was with some friends who were also attending the wedding—one couple had actually been there the day before and raved about it. I had the Monte Cristo and had to restrain myself from inhaling the whole thing in 5 minutes: it was crispy, soft, sweet, salty—everything you could want in a brunch sandwich. And if that isn’t enough, it comes with raspberry preserves AND maple syrup (and you’ll want to test both out, believe me). From what I heard, everyone else enjoyed their meals as well.

The next day, I met my mom, aunt, grandmother, and my mom’s best friend in Charlotte and I guess my description of The Dandelion Market was so tantalizing that they wanted to try it as well. Everyone at the table got the Monte Cristo except for me; I opted for a set of small plates: a Cinnamon Roll, Scrambled Eggs, and Bacon (had to try something new!). Everyone loved the Monte Cristo (which made me happy).

The service was pretty good; it was a bit slow at times, but overall, the staff was courteous. The space was very open, giving me the sense that the restaurant is pretty active bar venue, but the lighting was very dark, especially for a morning spot. Nonetheless, I’ll be sure to stop by The Dandelion Market the next time I’m in downtown Charlotte!
