On Saturday Jessi, Mady and I headed to the Lower East Side for brunch at The Fat Radish. I’ve heard great things about The Fat Radish for a while now, so I was excited to try it for myself.
Upon first walking in I instantly loved the cozy and rustic vibe – beach-like, almost.
Then I took a look at the brunch menu and was pleased to see it all fit on one page. From my experience, the shorter the menu = the better the food.
I was right.
We started with French press coffee, and the girls got some cocktails – a Lemongrass Bellini for Mady and “the world’s best Bloody Mary,” according to Jessi.

The girls both ordered the Cloth-Bound Cheddar & Potato Cake – with market brussels sprouts, bacon, poached egg.
I went with the seasonal Pumpkin Pancakes with candies pecans and a maple bourbon glaze.
Both dishes were delicious! I also loved how their portion sizes were…well, normal. No food baby after this meal. The only complaint was the poached egg on the potato cake was a bit overcooked, which I’m sure could’ve easily been fixed by request. Overall, we enjoyed a great meal and will definitely be going back soon.

What’s your favorite brunch meal?
Do you usually go for savory or sweet?
Oooh that brunch looks amazing! Especially the pumpkin pancakes. I always tend to order omelettes but I really need to branch out a bit.
those pancakes!!!!!! oh. my. goodness.
Debris Eggs Benedict is my favorite brunch meal … def more savory!
Mmm I love a good french press coffee with brunch and those pancakes look AMAZING… maple bourbon glaze? Wow!
I love pancakes or waffles for brunch - definitely a sweet breakfast kind of girl.
I am all about the savory, give me eggs benedict with a side of bacon..=D

I am way too indecisive….I always try to talk my fiance into getting the opposite of what I feel like having so I can try both …then I complain about why all this “baby weight” has still not come off : )
The food looks delicious, especially the pancakes. Maybe I can add that place to my really long list of places to visit if I ever make it out to New York…
