Weeks ago, we wanted to have breakfast at Mangold. But when we arrived at, like, 10 a.m., the place was packed and people were already waiting outside to get a table. That was too much for my non-existent patience on a sunday morning, so we fled the line and went to Beethovens (read here).
But, of course, this incident had kindled my curiosity. And if a place is that packed, I assume it has to be because it is really good, right?
So when I had the chance to have a half day off work on a Monday, we decided to set sail and try it again. Success. Only three tables were occupied, and we settled in a cozy corner. The place is beautifully set, dark brown fake ostrich leather, dark wooden tables. But, having a closer look, the leather was already torn in some spots, and not very handily patched. I reminded myself to not judge on prejudice, and took a closer look at the menu. A wide selection of breakfast options, and they sounded good. We chose the bigger Vital breakfast and a small breakfast with cheese to share. And this is where the disappointment set in.
When the waitress brought our breakfasts, I didn´t want to trust my eyes: what I had expected to be a BIG breakfast (for more than 10€) turned out to be very countable: no dip for the veggie sticks (how are you supposed to eat them?), no cream cheese, really nothing much at all. And A.´s breakfast wasn´t any better. Too bad. This is definitely no place to return - at least not for breakfast. Sorry, folks.
