Only not so little located on Washington Street in
Downtown Indianapolis across from the Capitol.
Sundays are the busiest so expect a wait up to 30 – 45 minutes for a
table. It has been serving healthy
selections since it opened which was a nice surprise for this health conscious individual
who is known to frequent tofu restaurants just to compare the firmness.
This quant establishment is known for its Broken
Yolk Sandwiches. What is a broken yoke
sandwich you ask? Well, it is something
that you need to experience I my description will never do it justice. It is rich and runny. The newest endeavor is the Broken Yolk
Sandwich with Smoking Goose Apple Chicken.
It consists of 2 fried eggs, white cheddar cheese and Smoking Goose
Apple Chicken Sausage patties served as a sandwich. Once you bite into eat the ooze goodness of
the yolk spills forth onto your taste buds.
Yes, there is nothing like it unfortunately it was so good I forgot to
take a picture and the next thing you know it was in tummy.
If a fried egg sandwich fails to make you turn
cartwheels than they have more delights to choose from including various omelets. Try the Hippie with a Benz made with fresh
spinach, vine ripened tomatoes, mushrooms and feta. It was a Hippie with a beat. The Overachiever is made with famous Indiana
Bacon, white cheddar cheese, sour cream and horseradish it’s sure to make you
ask for glass of water. It has a spicy
kick to it. As with every breakfast menu
they always have to mention the word California and Patachou is no exception
with its California Dreamer made with avocado, white cheddar cheese, sour cream
and jalapenos. Oh those hot summer
California nights.
If you are more a traditional type of person yes
they do serve Fresh House made Waffles and Croissant French Toast. Add a cup of fruit and breakfast is served.
Lunch is also served and you have your choice of
sandwiches or fresh made salads. A special
flavor for vegetarians is the Lentil Pate which consists of a curried
vegetarian pate with cubes of blue cheese mayonnaise. But if meat is what you want then may I suggest
the Fresh House Roasted Turkey with herbed cream cheese, lettuce and
mayonnaise.
Patachou serves the typical Chopped and Greek Salads
however they do have few surprises. The
Winter Ensalada Fresca is chopped romaine, roasted butternut squash, red onion,
cumbers, garbanzo beans, black beans and feta tossed with Buttermilk Herb
dressing. Or how about a throwback to
time? The Green Goddess Salad is one I would
highly recommend if for the name alone.
However you will be pleasantly surprised. This salad has all the goodies made with avocado,
hardboiled egg, bacon, chopped tomatoes, apples, and natural poached chicken
over lettuce tossed with their own version of creamy Green Goddess
dressing. Quick where is my fork?
One criticism I just cannot get out of my mind is
the fact that if you coffee you have to get up and help yourself. They have a coffee station directly in the
middle of the restaurant which is not easy to get to as you have to weave your
way through various tables. If I am
paying for service I do not want to get up to get myself a cup of coffee. Call me old fashioned but that’s what I pay
for and I do tip graciously as I was once a server myself. The service is also a bit lax. The manager just doesn’t have control as I
witnessed him cleaning tables as patrons waited to be seated. The water glasses were never refilled and
there is no water shortage in Indiana last time I checked. The food was good but a bit overpriced from
what I experienced elsewhere. Food was
good but if you compare it to the service and prices elsewhere it just seemed
to be lacking. So sorry to say I can
only give it 2.5 Forks Up. With a little
help I know it can do better. The food
was good and healthy. The establishment had
a great vibe and that is always a plus.
