Breakfast - Los Jardines Vivero y Café, Grecia

We have eaten lunch a couple of times at this restaurant. I did a blog post on our experience and you can read it here.

Los Jardines is located just east of the Courts of Justice and beside Super Rosvil Liceo (a grocery store) in Grecia. They have a large parking lot with a nice attendant. 

Today we decided to try Los Jardines’ breakfast menu. Breakfast is served on Saturday and Sunday only and they open at 0930.

For drinks, I ordered the limonada hierba buena and for Lance it was the bebida mora con leche. Translation: lemonade/limeade with mint/herbs and a smoothie made with mora and milk. Mora is a sort of blackberry that grows here. 


The setting of this restaurant is so much fun …. lots and lots of plants, kitschy decorations (Volkswagen Beetle, a British phone booth for example). A group of expats meets here for lunch every Wednesday.


And now our breakfasts:

Mine - huevos rancheros with natilla, toast and gallo pinto.


Lance’s choice - ham and cheese omelette, gallo pinto and toast with herbed cream cheese.

My huevos rancheros was excellent. Loaded with red peppers and onions, spicy sauce, the egg is on the bottom of the bowl. Natilla is sour cream (in the small black bowl). 

Lance said his omelette was very good and just the right size. As usual, we can never finish the pinto - it’s so filling.

We’ll definitely return again for breakfast and lunch. There’s an attached garden shop but I haven’t been in it.
