Review: Brunch at Marco & Pepe

Just two blocks from the grove street PATH, this small restaurant serves up some tasty Brunch [and yes, dinners too, but that’s for another time]. One of the few higher end weekend brunch establishments, patrons will immediately notice the care that’s been taken in the design of everything from the slender bottles of ice water to the simple white cup and saucer the coffee arrives in.

In the summer, whether permitting, a half dozen tables line the exterior. We recommend getting a seat on the Mercer St. side to avoid the traffic of Grove [though really in the morning there is not too much fuss]. Or find our favorite table tucked away in the back of the restaurant. The walls are done in a half finished raw appearance with hues of aqua and gray, worth noting even if we’re really suppose to be talking about food.

The food is great. One of our favorites is the bagel and lox, served properly New York Style. But in this case the bagel has been sliced into three more manageable slivers rather than what is a rather unruly half of bagel. Or there is the croissant styled French toast, or the mini Belgium waffles with fresh fruit, if you are looking for something sweeter. They have lunch faire and plenty of alcohol too, but after our morning hangovers we stuck with breakfast foods.

The place is small, but never too loud. The service is friendly enough, not there ever seemed to be anything we were wanting for.

Breakfast foods $8 to $12
