Last weekend, G and I met up for the first time in months, having planned on catching up over brunch at Cafe Orlin, which I've told you about before. However, the line was long and the day was rather chilly, so, instead of waiting in the cold, we hoofed it around the corner to Bar Virage.
We were seated right away and immediately brought a little platter of mini blueberry muffins and bread with our coffee.
These were a delightful way to start things off, as were the passion fruit mimosas that came next.
I appreciate a brunch place that doesn't fool around and serve you mimosas in tiny champagne flutes. Bring on the goblets, baby. And the passion fruit really took these to another level. Just the bright, fruity flavor that was needed to perk up a cold day. 
However, it seemed like only a few minutes before our server came back with our food (which was great because, as usual, I was starving). G had ordered an egg white omelet with tomatoes and mushrooms.
I went a little more decadent with the Lobster and Eggs over Easy:
I love it when an X made of bacon marks the spot.
Underneath the eggs lay a lobster, pepper, and potato hash and the entire thing was drizzled with a spicy hollandaise sauce and served with toasted brioche (which was awesome) on the side.
Ready for your closeup, gorgeous?
If that doesn't get you excited on a Sunday morning, I don't know what will.
Both of G and my dishes were off Bar Virage's Prixe Fixe brunch menu, which includes a main, the mini muffins and breads, and coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice, all for around $16. Not a bad deal, especially in New York.
The cocktails are extra but totally worth it.
And with the money that you've saved, you should probably get two. It's the weekend, after all.
