Izu Bakery & Brasserie located at City Walk 2 offers a lovely ambiance with wholesome food options that span across a varied breakfast menu as well as a lunch and dinner selection. Daily specials listed on chalkboards above the pretty kitchen counter adds to the rustic feel of the place.<\/p>\n

\"izu<\/p>\n

The restaurant is divided into two parts – bakery and brasserie. We chose to seat ourselves in the latter and were greeted by dark rich wooden tables, tall ceilings, filament lights and the most gorgeous wash basin I’ve ever come across.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"izu<\/p>\n

Like most restaurants, the meal here started with a basket of house bread served with olive oil, balsamic and butter.<\/p>\n

\"izu<\/p>\n

Avocado & Kale Salad<\/h4>\n

Dotted with bresaola, pears, tomatoes and chunky avocados, this simple yet colorful salad at Izu Bakery & Brasserie made great use of kale as a base. Very healthy, at the same time light, it was a good choice for a quick lunch or an evening snack.<\/p>\n

\"izu<\/a><\/p>\n

Omelette with Mushrooms<\/h4>\n

This one was from the bakery menu. A very simple, no frills kinda dish, this breakfast favorite is a must have. It might look plain, but the fluffy egg omelette come filled with the goodness of sauteed mushrooms (or your choice of filling), and makes the perfect option for a hearty weekend breakfast. A little more bread on the side wouldn’t hurt.<\/p>\n

\"izu<\/p>\n

Eggs Benedict with Mushrooms<\/h4>\n

I guess we were slightly obsessed with the combination of eggs and funghi which is why we skipped the recommended smoked salmon and went with sauteed mushrooms instead. Another breakfast favorite at Izu Bakery & Brasserie, this exceeded my expectations in terms of both texture and flavor. While I was expecting the muffins to be crusty and hard, they were just right – easily sliced by a butter knife, and the eggs were cooked exactly how I wanted them to be – slightly runny.<\/p>\n

\"izu<\/p>\n

Rigatoni with Cream Sauce & Truffle Paste<\/h4>\n

Could we possibly say no to truffle? Of course not! One of our two mains, this al dente rigatoni pasta came covered in a rich layer of white sauce enhanced with truffle cream and dotted with herbs and grated parmesan. The only thing I would’ve changed about this dish is the doneness of the pasta, but overall it was a delicious combination of flavors. Tip: Ask for some bread to mop up all that sauce.<\/p>\n

\"izu<\/a><\/p>\n

Spicy Chicken Pizza<\/h4>\n

This was a daily special on their chalkboard menu! Two of my favorite things – chicken and jalapenos – on one of my favorite items – pizza – meant we HAD TO order this. The crust was simply perfect and so were the generous toppings. In addition to the jalapenos, there were a few red chili peppers adding their fiery touch. If you are at Izu Bakery & Brasserie, make sure you check their specials. You never know what treat your taste buds might be in for!<\/p>\n

\"izu<\/p>\n

Tiramizu<\/h4>\n

Another great tiramisu checked off my list! The Izu version of this iconic dessert has pushed me to do a top 5 series. Very creamy, frothy and light, the tiramIZU had all the elements to make it the perfect end to our meal. the espresso blended so well with the mascarpone, at the same time maintaining its individuality, it was a melange of flavors in every spoonful. The presentation was simply wow. Must must have!<\/p>\n

\"izu<\/a><\/p>\n

Passion Fruit Cheesecake<\/h4>\n

A deliciously smooth dessert with the right proportions of fruit, cheese and biscuit, this cheesecake was certainly an indulgent one.<\/p>\n

    This is one of those few places where I can sit all day with my laptop and not realize how time passes by. Lovely food combined with a beautiful ambiance is what makes Izu Bakery & Brasserie a win for me. If you’re there, don’t forget to try their Truffle Rigatoni pasta and Eggs Benedict.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n
