Florian

Cafe$

Days that start at Florian carry a glow, much like the spun-gold light that hits the tables outside – rarely empty, even on weekdays. Fat gruyere-filled omelettes and eggs Florian (with bearnaise and cavolo nero) are mainstays. Sandwiches rotate but the chicken-mayo is the MVP. On Friday nights, swing past for crudo, pasta and steak sandwiches, or switch gears with Thai each Thursday.

Good to know: Florian’s farmhouse chic is yours to shop at its next-door homewares store.
