📍 45, Gana St, Maitama
So I celebrated my birthday (23.3) a day before (22.3) because Ramadan was expected to begin on the 23rd. And if you know me, you know Brunch is a MUST on my birthday.
Brunch Club’s Instagram feed had been entering my eye a lot lately so I decided I wanted to try it again. This was my second time visiting, so you can read about that first by clicking here!
AMBIENCE:
Nothing much had changed with the space. The only notable difference was the outdoor space which had a few more elements added to it like plants, new seating etc.
FOOD:
The menu had expanded from last time with a few changes as well! Going in, I decided to keep an open mind on what to have, although I knew I wanted both sweet & savoury.
Mint Lemonade – N3,500
Drinks first! Lemonades are usually the safest item to order. This was quite refreshing!
Southern Texas Chicken ‘N’ Waffles – N6,500
(waffles, honey, butter, breaded chicken fillet, maple gravy, micro greens)
First off, I liked that it was a breaded fillet as opposed to bone-in chicken. This made it easier to eat. The chicken wasn’t over cooked. It was tender & had the right seasoning.
If you look closer, you would notice that cornflakes was used as a coating instead of regular bread crumbs. Loved it.
Waffles could have been softer. I had to run my knife through quite a few times to segment a piece.
The fruits were are also a good addition, although there were no micro greens on my plate.
Mac ‘N’ Cheese Cajun Style – N6,000
(elbow pasta, cheddar & mozzarella cheese, cajun seasoning, parmesan, herbs)
There’s no way I’ll see mac & cheese on a menu & not try it! Not the best I’ve had, but I would say it was pretty decent.
It needed a pinch more of salt and some more mozzarella cheese to make it slightly more ‘gooey’. The cheddar made it quite thick & dry. Chicken was moist & full of flavor! That, I liked.
Spicy Chicken Wings
Couldn’t find this on the menu for the price, but it was your regular Nigerian spicy chicken wings, nothing really screamed, ‘I’m different’.
SERVICE:
Overall, service was alright, they were cute with their ‘happy birthdays’ and making me feel special.
Our waitress was also nice & knew her onions. Food & Drinks came out in a timely fashion, didn’t have to wait long.
SALMAH’S SIDENOTE:
Go during the week, it way quieter + it’s seems like a great space to work at.
