Food Pr0n: Brunch at Bistrot Margot

By Caitlin Klein in Food on Jul 25, 2012 4:00PM

This is a special Kir Royale (a mixture of Champagne and liqueur) made with hibiscus and garnished with a spiraled orange peel.

This is Pomme de Terre Farci, which is potato shells stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and bacon. The white topping is horseradish creme fraiche. As with most dishes at Bistrot Margot, it is served with roasted haricots verts (green beans)!

Hello, crepe! This is Crepe aux Oeufs, a savory crepe stuffed with eggs, Gruyere cheese, and pesto. It is served with mixed greens. At $7.95, we think this dish has a very good value.

$These are Bistrot Margot\'s \"Home Style Potatoes,\" and they are very nicely salted.$

Haricots Verts are ubiquitous at Bistrot Margot. They are roasted.

We love brunch here at Chicagoist. We think of ourselves as brunch connoisseurs, if there is such a thing. SushiSamba RIO. Store Front Company. Kingsbury Street Café. Longman and Eagle. City Provisions. m. henry. The Southern. We heart brunch, get it?? So when we stopped in for a lovely brunch at Old Town’s French-inspired Bistrot Margot, we just had to share.

Bistrot Margot, usually open for lunch and dinner, serves brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. With most items ranging between $7 and $12, you can get an authentic French bistro atmosphere without breaking the bank like you might at some of the other Frenchie places around town.

Descriptions are included in the captions. Enjoy!

Bistrot Margot is located at 1437 N. Wells. Brunch begins at 10 a.m. on the weekends.
