Quest Benedict

Due to the sheer volume of high end shops on Fifth, finding a suitable breakfast establishment was becoming tiresome, until I came across Le Caprice, on the corner of Central Park.  As soon as you walk in you know you're in a high end establishment.

The place is almost entirely decorated in black and white, from the decor to the staff uniforms - but it doesn't feel like it's trying too hard.  The clientèle are clearly well heeled, but it has a friendly atmosphere.  Once I sit down I am offered a newspaper to read, immediately creating a relaxed atmosphere.  The staff are as efficient, as most US waiters and waitresses are, but you don't feel hurried.

The Eggs Benedict arrives promptly: Two eggs, two half muffins and hash browns.

The eggs were perfectly, the ham was thick and tasty and the muffins were toasted to perfection.
