A Brunch Gem

Now that spring has sprung and everyone is ready to enjoy the longer, sunnier days, Tastybeat has an outstanding brunch suggestion--M Henry! This cheery spot in Edgewater (just on the northern edge of Andersonville's Clark Street corridor) offers up hearty plates of savory and sweet breakfast favorites with a sophisticated yet homey twist. You'll enter through the restaurant's bakery and will be seated in one of many cozy spots in this charming eatery. There's really not a bad table in the place--some regulars say they feel like they're in Europe whenever they walk into M Henry.

And what's more, you'll find everything prepared with the finest seasonal ingredients, including locally produced and organic products whenever possible (and some vegetarian and vegan options, to boot). Tastybeat especially recommends these two delicious items from the menu:

• Blackberry bliss cakes--fluffy hotcakes layered with fresh, juicy blackberries, vanilla mascarpone crème, and topped with a brown sugar and oat crust.


• Out of this world breakfast bread pudding--a bowl of creamy vanilla and egg custard brioche bread pudding, topped with warm peaches and blackberries. A meal on its own or a great starter to share.

You can't go wrong at this Edgewater treasure; your sweet and savory breakfast cravings will be more than sated...and M Henry also serves a very tasty lunch throughout the week. Take it from us: you'll want to linger in this charming urban café.

Happy Eating,
Tastybeat
