El Greco219 Broadway Ave E
Seattle, WA 98012
My fourth week in, and I'm still not sick of Frech toast! This particular week I had French toast 3 times. One of those time was for dinner. I have to to confess, I was craving it. Being the lone ranger I am, I even ate my French toast dinner all by my lonesome.
Anywho....back to business. El Greco did not disapoint! My buds and tummy was extremely satisfied. It was worth waiting until 2:30 in the afternoon for my first meal of the day. But that was due to me having to decorate a cake in the morning. By the time I arrived at the restaurant, I think the rush had already come and gone.
It was a toss up between who had the better French toast. El Greco's sister restaurant (see last week) Geraldine's Counter served up a scrum-diddlely-umptious Frenchie. After tasting El Greco's Frenchie, you could tell that they were the same recipe. Sooooooo Gooooooood. The same crunchy outside with the same soft, chewy, center. Soft, but not runny. Soooooo Goooood. The toast was made with a sourdough bread and served with a berry compote and crème fraîche. And I was also given the option of drizzling my toast with REAL maple syrup. Even better.
For the first time since my venture began, I polished off the entire full order of French toast. One of the very nice things about El Greco (and Geraldine's Counter) is that the portions are not outrageously huge. It was just enough. Everywhere else I have only been eating about half the amount of toast served. Who really needs all that food anyways? I've been trying really hard to just satisfy my food cravings and moving on.
Next time you're in Capitol Hill during breakfast time, make an effort to stop at El Greco.

PS. Did anyone notice that I combed my hair and the makeup?
