M. Henry

I tried M. Henry a few weeks ago after reading Yelp reviews on their French toast dishes. I LOVE sweets for breakfast/brunch, so I decided on the seasonal Strawberry Rhubarb French Toast and a Cappuccino. I opted to have the french toast sans the creme and asked for maple syrup instead. The waitress explained that the dish had a fruit compote, which I understood, but I didn’t realize that the compote would be so juicy that the french toast would be floating in strawberry-rhubarb juice. So… I didn’t really need the maple syrup! I was worried about the french toast being really soggy because of all the juice, but the bread was really fluffy and thick, so it was no problem sopping up all the fruity-goodness without the toast becoming a soggy mess. The toast was also topped with crunchy granola, so that added great texture to the dish. The cappuccino was huge (as American cappuccinos tend to be), but it had a good amount of espresso and a beautiful foam layer, artfully prepared with a barista’s design swirled on top.

I will definitely come back to try some other sweet dishes, and perhaps some savory ones as well. I must mention that I got to the restaurant at about 2 pm on a Sunday and didn’t have to wait for a table for one. Any earlier and I’m sure I would have had to wait outside!
