Quite a place! A smallish venue, but the size of the menu packs a wallop. Stylish but a little old-school is how I describe Bread and Porridge. I've eaten here more than a few times. Yes, the dining room small, but the size of the menu makes up for that. I was there again last weekend and had their meatloaf. It is excellent ? not too much beef and not too much filling, just right! My friend had the halibut, and she loved it and especially the well finished vegetable sides. The waiters were friendly and there isn?t a rush like in the daytime. Dessert was a fresh blueberry tart ala mode which we shared and then we finished off with a couple of their cappuccinos served French style in bowls ? very cool (in the cushy sofas next door ). Definitely my favorite spot on the Westside for a relaxed dinner with wine. And don?t miss out on the breakfast fixins -- but do expect to cool your heels in their lounge room for a while since there is usually a wait for breakfast.
Pros: Fresh comfort food, excellent portions, relaxing atmosphere
Cons: Parking can be tricky at lunch
