Brunch at Tapeo29<\/a> with Leslie and Derek back in mid-September. We bought a Gilt City coupon for $65. One entree per person, 3 drinks each, two desserts to share. Our waitress wasn\u2019t counting the drinks. Pretty sure we all got at least 4 or 5 brunch cocktails. Can\u2019t believe Derek added Worcestershire sauce to his Bloody Mary! I\u2019ve never seen anyone do that before. I love Worcestershire sauce, but in a cocktail? No thanks.<\/p>\n

The weather has just gone from hot and humid to cool and comfortable. All of the doors and windows at Tapeo29 were open, and we grabbed a table near a window. P.S. Check out the gigantic candles over the bar! \"Tapeo<\/a>I ordered the Flamenco Eggs. Fried eggs over a chunky piquant tomato sauce with vegetables and chorizo. Home fries with caramelized onion on the side. Think I might try making this sometime with soy chorizo and poached eggs. \"Tapeo<\/a>Leslie\u2019s got the Toro Omelet with egg whites, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and blue cheese. I\u2019ve never added sun-dried tomatoes to omelets. Sounds tasty. \"Tapeo<\/a>John\u2019s Three Egg Omelet with bell peppers and home fries. I honestly thought this was the most boring item on their brunch menu, but John got it because it comes with more eggs than the other dishes. Hehe.\"Tapeo<\/a>Derek ordered the Valencia Paella, which wasn\u2019t part of the brunch menu, but the waitress made it work anyway. I believe the Valencia includes more veggies\/beans than the usual Spanish meats and seafood paella. Look at that paella! \"Tapeo<\/a>After all that food, we still had 2 desserts to share. Here\u2019s the Tarta de Chocolate: soft center warm chocolate cake in rich chocolate sauce topped with light whipped cream. Looks like an excessive amount of whipped cream, but it went very well with the cake. \"Tapeo<\/a>The chocolate cake was tasty, but the Crema Catalana was even better. Classic Spanish custard with a caramelized top. Basically, cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e\u2026 but I believe the Catalan version uses an iron broiler to caramelize the top instead of a flame. I seriously need more cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e\u00a0in my life. Mmm, this dessert made me so happy. \"Tapeo<\/a>I\u2019d love to go back to Tapeo29 for brunch. Or maybe for a tapas dinner for a date night. It\u2019s a cute little place, but wasn\u2019t too crowded during peak brunch hours. I just wish it wasn\u2019t so out of the way for us!<\/p>\n
