"Peacock Pansy inthe Fillmoreis abrunchspot that feels very much like cult favoriteSweet Maple. You’ll find big portions, a loud dining room with a near-guaranteed wait, and a globally-inspired menu that’s hard to pin down—for example,eggs benedict and chilaquiles share real estate with a bánh mì and a tom yum crab omelette. Plan on warming up your vocal cords before you eat, since you’ll need to compete with other diners who are so close you could sneak a bite off their plates. While you’re in close quarters, take a cue from your neighbors and load up your table with a creamy slab of ube crème brûlée french toast and a truffle mushroom scramble that you can smell long before it’s arrived at your table. Weekday reservations and walk-ins tend to be easy, but plan at least a day ahead for a prime weekend brunch time slot (or go before 10am)." - Patrick Wong
