In any case, we were able to converse without difficulty. We started with a few starting drinks (the RoomeR, and the Apero Maison) and shared an order of cheese croquettes. The bread basket was also welcome and interesting. For our mains, we ordered a few Belgian beers as well as a G&T made with the local gin, to pair with the chicory with cheese sauce and ham, and the entrecote. The food took a long time to arrive, and although well plated, it was nothing special unfortunately. The entrecote in particular was a very poor cut of beef having at least 1/3 of it entirely comprised of gristle and fat. For dessert we shared a Crème brûlée. All in all, it was less than we had hoped for, but the cocktails were excellent.

As of November, 2018 the place has been open for two years. The energetic and kind host welcomed us in, and we sat at a pleasant two-top with a view of the boulevard and passers-by. Eggs Benedict was listed as a house specialty, so we gave it a try. At €9, it was a little small (only half the size of a typical Benedict. More aptly named "Egg Benedict," it comes with just one egg, a single strip of bacon, and perfectly sauteed spinach on a single hearty piece of toast) - but the flavors were excellent. Instead of the usual hollandaise used in the US, which I find a bit bland, Bodega's serves a richer bechamel. This worked wonderfully. We also shared a €7.50 Greek yogurt and granola. Note that granola in Europe means a slightly different cereal- more like what we call muesli. Toasted and nicely flavored rolled oats with nuts and a bit of dried fruit, but without the clusters we typically see. It's quite tasty and similar to granola, but less crunchy. Good value. Coffee was typical European excellent. We had cafe con leche (coffee with milk). One of those will wake you right up. Total cost was €22. Not much more than we'd pay at a cafe at home, but far higher quality. Four stars; a great score by my standard.

What's most important: the dishes are superbe! Maybe a bit expensive, but everything home made: every sauce, the fries, the ice cream, ......

This time, we went to get the taste of bad, watery cocktails from dinner out of our mouths. The wife was interested in trying absinthe the drip way.

I ordered Corto Maltesse the Mandarine Napoléon which had Litchi et Cardamome, Prosecco, Eau Pétillante, Citron. Delicious. I can recommend this spot highly for the gin, of course, as well as their cocktails. Well prepared. Also, only 6€ for the absinthe? Looks like we'll be coming more often to share a fountain!
