Sunday Brunch at Metropolis Cafe

My favorite place to go for a Sunday brunch has always been S & S Deli in Inman Square, Cambridge. But today, I found another place in South End call Metropolis Cafe that is worthy of excellent Sunday Brunch. Like the ever evolving South-End, Metropolis Cafe is hip and eclectic. The place also looks clean and well decorated. The only setback is the confined space in the restaurant, about 30 seats in a room a size of 2 ordinary living rooms (about 500 sq ft, I think). Eimear and I both tried the Monte Cristo, a meal consisted french toast, ham, pear, and cranberry chutney. It was awesome. The chutney was well prepared and go went well with the rest of the food. Overall, it wasn't too sweet as I would expect but we were disappointed that we couldn't taste the pear in the dish. Nevertheless, I am definitely coming back to this restaurant to explore its dinner menu in a not-so-distant future. For today's experience, I give this restaurant a 8.5 out of 10.

The met is pretty good for a Sunday brunch. But the best place for that meal in the South End is Tremont 647. It's worth going if only to see everyone in their PJs, including the staff ;)

I should really start exploring South-End more. Like I said, it's a hip neighborhood.

Oh yeah, the SE is awesome. We were just at Stella last week, a fun place. And Union, B&G Oyster House, Rouge have been among our favorites since they opened. The DeLux is probably the most alternative/grunge place left in Boston, and Club Cafe is hilarious to watch gay couples flirt. Alli and I spend a lot of time in the SE...
