As a denizen of Silver Lake, I adore brunch runs to Madame Matisse's. They have a wonderful staff, great Benedicts and are dog-friendly at the outside tables - they even let me get chicken in a to go container for my adopted shelter doggies! They have service to their exterior tables, so you needn't worry about tying your pet up until you run in to order and get your food. Their regular menu has something for everyone, and their seasonal specials never fail to delight.\r

Currently I am simply besotted with their Truffled Eggs Benedict - it is a special for now, but I can only hope it graduates to the regular menu. It makes my weekend to have a lazy morning walk to a pleasant destination, friendly staff, delicious fare, and an eye-opening espresso. I couldn't ask for more!\r
