Tsar Alexander III used to give his wife, Empress Maria, an ornately
jeweled Fabergé egg as a gift every year. Were just happy if our man
makes ours over easy.
Were getting our eggs any way we want them at Fabergé,
the new Mile End breakfast palace fit for a Tsarina. We enjoyed the
contrasting textures of crisp phyllo pastry, sautéed spinach, and
hollandaise of the Mediterranean Benedict ($13), relished in the Eggs in
a Nest ($11), with thickly sliced cheese bread artfully arranged to
conceal a melting yolk center, and delighted in the Redcakes, fluffy
buttermilk pancakes smothered in strawberries ($10). Add a bottle of
bubbly with five different juices, including blood orange and lychee, to
mix-your-own Mimosa ($35) and we felt like Russian royalty.
And thats no yolk.
