How I heard of this place: Yelp. Looking for a Saturday brunch spot near Beaverton to celebrate three dad’s and their families, I came across La Provence. The pictures said it all!
Type of cuisine: A bakery with full-service breakfast, lunch and dinner with French flavors.
Ambiance: Grand,
yet casual.
Contemporary,
yet classic.
Tall ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows,
and a bar for those dining solo!
What I ordered: We had three families join in the early Father’s Day fun at La Provence, where one dad, my husband, enjoyed the Chef Omelette ($11.50): a hearty three-egg omelette filled with house sausage, bacon, tomatoes, onions, and cheddar cheese, topped with avocado.
A delightful surprise, one flakey croissant with a square of Brie was offered as his bread of choice on the side!
The second, newest dad, selected the Corned Beef Hash ($12): corned beef brisket, slow kettle cooked until tender, then shredded and grilled with bell peppers, red onions and fresh cut hash browns, topped with two eggs and finished with a horseradish-shallot cream sauce.
The third dad, a father of three enjoyed the Traditional Ham Benedict ($10): two farm-fresh eggs poached and placed on a freshly baked croissant then topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms and sautéed bacon, served with Provençal potatoes and butternut squash.
For the mothers, we had one order of the Wild Northwest Salmon Hash ($13): wild northwest smoked salmon and sautéed leeks tossed with fresh cut hash browns grilled golden, topped with two eggs any style, then drizzled with fresh lemon-dill sauce,
one order for the Risotto Cakes & Eggs ($10): slow simmered risotto rice with sautéed bacon, asparagus, mushrooms, red onions, and fresh basil, gently formed into patties, lightly breaded and grilled to perfection, topped with two poached eggs and served with Provençal potatoes and butternut squash.
For me, the Baked Eggs a la Française ($10): poached eggs nestled in a French baking crock with grilled hash browns, sautéed mushrooms and ham, topped with gruyere béchamel and Swiss cheese gratiné, served with toasted baguette slices.
For the older children in our group, one chose Crepes ($10): two vanilla scented crèpes topped with warm caramel sauce,
What I loved: The freshly baked croissant with Brie!
Why I loved it: A great price for good food shared with friends in a space that easily accommodated our large party of eleven guests, including five children!
Cost: Low to average ($10 – $12.50 per breakfast entrée)
