French Toast at Fig

The Los Angeles Times food critic calls the Fig Restaurant, inside of Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica,..."pitch perfect...," another review calls it..." a raging success..."

I couldn't have agreed more, when having breakfast with my dear cousin and very special French friend, who authors a food blog. Check it out at http://www.aworldinapan.blogspot.com/ . You will find out the translation of the menu's Pain Perdu and many more things.

All the activity of a swimming pool, along with imaginative farmer's-market fresh food, was so "Southern California"!

Just in case you were, as was I, wondering why the restaurant was called Fig? This magnificent Moreton Bay Fig tree greets all visitors to the hotel and restaurant.

Pain Perdu was prepared with brioche, croissant, cinnamon and berry coulis.
