B-liv — Restaurant in Cagliari

Venue Arrival, nice and clean!

Waited to be seated, about 5 minutes..all ok. While waiting, I watched the bar staff make an orange drink. Poured 3 parts of liquid into a champagne flute glass... which I realized would then be my "smoothie" ...the fruit detox.

1. the single slice of toast Benedict Avo, 10€. I had some hard (unripened) avo on the toast. Eggs were GOOD quality! No salt, though...added myself. Hollandaise sauce lacked flavour... little lemon/salt/flavour....maybe too much butter added? Overall, unimpressed by the meal. Too expensive for what it was...I've had this at many other places and they charge similar...but use amazing home baked thick sliced bread. Change your bread and fix the Hollandaise.

2. Cuppucinno was good...took long to arrive, but very nice coffee...made well. Happy to not receive a latte

3. pancakes with fruit...nice! Salted caramel sauce wasn't nice. We LOVE salted caramel but this particular sauce was disappointing. Price good 8€

4. Smoothie, disappointing. From what I saw at the bar while waiting for our table, the splash of 3 parts of liquid and charging 5€ needs review. Also, the super tiny glass isn't great. I really needed to watch my consumption...as to avoid finishing it all is 3-4 normal sips. This is a 2-3€ drink, not 5€...OR, keep the price the same, and serve a larger portion in a different glass - no need to be pretentious.

5. Chia seed bowl had a nice selection of fruit. Price was fair 8€....

I rarely write reviews like this, but avoid this restaurant at all costs. Forgetting the douchey decor and and brusque service, the food was inedible. I ordered the "Avo Benedict" and before I even cut into my poached eggs, uncooked whites were leaking from the egg, which was on barely toasted overly fluffy bread. The "avo" was some sort of "avocado creme". My husband got a club sandwich with the idea that even a bad restaurant can't ruin a club sandwich, and yet, they did. Almost no meat, but 3 slices of that crappy bread, but what made it inedible was the rotten lettuce. We decided to pay and leave immediately and no one...

Nice atmosphere and decent food — we tried the croissant and coffee and enjoyed both. Some of the staff were quite friendly, but our experience during a return visit was disappointing.

We sat at an empty table in a less crowded period, but the waitress asked us to move unless we were ordering from the brunch menu. We politely changed seats as requested, but she returned to say the new table was also reserved, so we had to move again (Remember that it was the area she instructed us to sit).

After that, we felt ignored - as if our interest in just a regular breakfast made us less important. It left a negative impression,...
