    The baked eggs were another highlight — huge portions, rich tomato base, perfectly cooked eggs, and served with thick toasted bread that was perfect for dipping.

    At first, the chicken waffle looks like a small portion, but it’s surprisingly generous and filling. The waffle is perfectly soft, and the chicken is juicy and flavorful.
