Once again my carefully laid meal plans fell apart. After finding that my original destination was too packed to accommodate me I started wandering aimlessly until I came across Grand Cafe Orient.

The building has an impressive facade and a second story terrace that drew me in. I also believe the building contains a cubism museum and the cafe itself is billed at a “cubist cafe.” What that means I have no idea. …My food wasn’t even cubed.

I opted for an espresso and the “complete breakfast” which wasn’t so much a meal as the constituent elements of one.

This is yogurt, corn flakes, a boiled egg, ham, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, bread, honey and apricot jam. Not knowing what to do with all this I dumped the cornflakes into the yogurt like granola which was actually pretty good.

Overall, it made for a satisfying breakfast but nothing to write home about (just blog) and probably not worth your time unless you’re… you know… really into cubes.
