"If there was ever a brunch worth driving 30 minutes and then lining up for, this is it. Atelier Manna is fine-dining in the daytime, but instead of a stuffy dining room you’re kicking back on a breezy patio with people in workout gear and their bandana-wearing dogs. Make sure to get the torrijas for the table—this imposingly tall, Spanish version of French toast has a custardy middle and a shatteringly crisp exterior, which might be topped with strawberries in spring or stone fruit in summer. When it comes to eggs, the highlight is cilbir, Turkish-style poached eggs set on a swath of herby yogurt and topped with chili garlic butter. There are no mimosas—or any alcohol—on offer, but the tea-based vitality tonics are compelling enough to forgo a boozy brunch just this once." - candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candic
