Running at 24 bucks, I would maybe consider this reasonable if you share it. The serving is overkill for one person anyway (except if you're a dummy like me who saw this as a challenge of pride to finish the whole thing).

The Parisienne breakfast is made of thick french toast with ham and cheese in it. It's definitely one of the most satisfying french toasts I've had. I wish the 2 fried eggs would have runnier yolks, but they were still good. The best surprise of the dish was the rocket salad on the side. You can't see it in this picture but there is a heap of rockets in there with some dressing and I LOVED it. It was the best palette cleanser to balance out the hefty toast.

Being a dark chocolate ice cream, this is suprisingly creamier than bitter. Definitely something to spoil yourself with because dark chocolate's healthy, right?

Going straight to the point: BEST RAINBOW CAKE I've had so far.

I looooove the idea of rainbow cakes, but they're usually very dry. I Am..'s rainbow cake is MOIST - which if you think about it, is an adjective that sounds like HEAVEN to cakes but gross to almost everything else in the world. Huh.

The icing is really thick, creamy, and tastes like 80% cream cheese - which I'm totally not mad about. Pro tip though: dont try to save the icing for last like I did because it's going to be TOO CREAMY.

And it's such a big slice! No slice of cake is too big for me to be honest, but this has exceeded expectations. My inner unicorn spirit animal is pleased.

Ugh. So creamy and nutty and unpretentious.

Not one to skimp on stuffing, Barrio's burritos are packed and is a good choice if you are feeling ravenous, or if you don't like the normal spiciness that comes with Mexican food. My only cripe about this is that there's too much rice stuffing that I couldn't taste the pulled pork very well. Personally, I like their tacos better.

Messy food is acceptable only of it tastes adventurous and savoury, and Barrio's chicken tacos totally qualify.

The taco bread is light, while the chicken and the salsa are just the right amout of spicy. It's also both annoying but satisfying how the sauce drip off of the other side of the taco when you take a bite.

Personally, I really liked this dish. However, I have a friend who doesn't like spicy food and she didn't get past the first 2 bites, so the jury's out on this one.

All I'm saying is if you have an excuse to eat lava cake for yourself, take it.

Getting a whole honest pizza for yourself is probably something you wouldn't expect in a supposedly nice 5-course meal, but here it is. By now I'm already at the 3rd consecutive course with mushrooms in it, and I'm still alive and kicking with my mouth watering.

It's a minimalist work of art. The pizza is greasy and uncomplicated enough to satisfy that week-worn you who just DESERVES this. At the same time, the greasiness is from truffle oil and cheese - so, I mean, greasiness in the most sophisticated way. Also, the rockets are the PERFECT pizza topping for this. It brings a crisp and sophisticated twist to the dish.

When you read something on the menu that basically says 'mushroom soup', it probably would sound like one of those watery canned concoctions that some restaurants would have the nerve to serve. Hey, that rhymed.

But Elemen's soup is righfully authentic and creamy. It gives us lowly non-connoisseurs a lesson on what real mushroom soup should taste like - plus more. The generous sliver of truffle oil exudes a sophistication that assures everyone that you're not some kid ordering the safest dish on the menu. Because it has fancy fragrant truffle oil. And you're an adult.

The truffle oil does blend in with the soup seamlessly - albeit a little too oily at first if you don't mix it well.

Overall a recommended choice.

Appetizer#1 is a single mushroom and some green nuts on it. It's the best out of the 3. I usually dont like eating whole mushrooms but this was seasoned well.

Appetizer#2 is some arugula and japanese sesame dressing. There's also something else in the dish but I couldn't understand what the waiter was saying. Also good. But anything is good with sesame dressing.

Appetizer#3 is a single raw cherry tomato with some slightly sour sauce. The tomato was very juicy which may be a good thing for people who like cherry tomatoes.

Overall an elegant appetizer for a place that exudes a casually posh personality.

I have recently discovered my love for iced chocolate and 7 Kickstart does not disappoint. It's not too sweet, but it's the right amount of creamy for you to take a little sip while enjoying some quiet time at the cafe. I think I'm beginning to understand how people stay so long at coffeeshops.
