Madam S’ate

Came here for Sunday brunch. It’s situated on the civic roof in the elements shopping mall.
They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The décor is simple, brasserie like, ambience is relaxing.
The staff is attentive, friendly and knowledgeable.
On weekends they have a special brunch menu, which is really good value for money.
The normal menu and kids menu is always available.
The drinks menu is extensive, full bar is available. They have a decent selection of wine from different parts of the world. Selection by the glass is decent as well.
To our surprise the food was excellent. We ordered cheese burgers, French toast and rosti potatoes with smoked salmon.
The meat of the burgers was nicely cooked, the brioche like Bun was fresh and crispy, not soggy at all. The rosti potatoe was crispy, not oily at all. Smoked salmon was nice, the dill and yoghurt matched perfectly.
Highlight was the French Toast. It was crispy, not too sweet, the batter not too thick, nice touch of cinnamon. The crème fraîche and the berries accompanied nicely.
Looking forward to coming back to try more from the main menu.

I came here twice during my stay. The first time was just for late night drinks at night, which were fine enough. The next was a day later when we were very hungry and the options at the time seemed quite limited. I had my hesitations already going to a bar for actual food… but lesson learned. NEVER AGAIN. It was disgusting and I want to vomit just thinking about it. It was the saddest and sugary/​sweetest French onion soup we’ve ever had. To make it worse, I thought it would be okay to order the gnocchi. Not only did it take them 20 minutes to get back to me what type of cheese they used, but they took another 30 minutes after the soup to bring it out. And it tasted absolutely awful and was quite unsettling in my stomach. The owner seemed to walk around and socialize with most of the tables except for ours. But whatever.
