After watching an Iranian movie called Willow and Wind at the Irish Film
Institute we wanted to have brunch at Cafe Novo at the Westbury Hotel
in Dublin, Ireland, which we visited a few times over the years.
To our surprise the name had changed to Balfes. That wasn't the only thing that was different. It had been renovated and there were some menu changes too. For example there was no longer French Toast on the menu.
The renovation was a success in our opinion and looked good. It had now a nice contrast in black and white, dark chairs and comfortable leather sofas.
The atmosphere was good with a lot of families with young children, who were very well behaved.
The staff recognized us immediately, but they were very busy. They were attentive, though, and always there when we needed them.
We ordered during Sunday brunch four chai latte, two fresh orange juice, one Eggs Benedict, one Eggs Royal, blueberry pancakes with bacon and maple syrup and mixed berries with champagne sabayon. Everything was fresh and delicious.
We paid 55.50 Euro, ca. 71.90 USD.
No matter if it's called Cafe Novo or Balfes we are going to be regular guests in the future.
