The Bistro at Haddonfield

Post Covid Update:

We’ve been to the bistro a couple of times before covid hit. We always went as a big group with friends and the staff is always friendly and the food is always very good. We decided to go again for brunch post covid when the outdoor dining opened. We went around 11:35 and were put on the wait list. We were seated around 11:45 and were have our coffee by noon. Everything was very clean with staff sanitizing other tables around us once the guests have left.

The Greek frappe is basically the Dalgona coffee that’s going viral right now. We got it with the chocolate milk. It was very very good at the beginning but as the ice melted it and you got to the bottom it got very bitter. Would recommend drinking it right away if straight coffee isn’t your thing.

I usually go for the wild mushroom omelet with the truffle oil and manchego cheese. I’ve tried truffle dishes in many restaurants and this is easily one of my favorites. It comes with toast and home fries. It’s very very filling and has just the right amount of mushrooms to egg to truffle ratio. This time I decided to go for the lamb burger which comes with truffle parmesan fries. The truffle fries were the best I’ve ever had. The thickness of the actual fry was perfect where it was crispy on the outside but still had some potato on the inside. If french fries and wedge fries had a baby, this would be it. And I don’t say this lightly, this, is in fact, the perfect fry. Moving on, it had the perfect amount of parmesan and truffle. It also comes with a garlic aioli that’s very good. I would go back just for those fries and I might because you can just get it as an appetizer anyway.

I’ve come to learn that Lamb is an aquired taste. I don’t know if I’m a big fan of ground lamb but it was an okay burger for me. It wasn’t dry and it had flavor in it. My comments for the actual burger is the assembly of it which ive seen other reviewers comment on. The onion jam was good but there was so much of it that it overpowered the lamb, arugula and gorgonzola cheese. The next time I would ask for less jam and more arugula just to freshen it up a little and make it so nothing is overpowering the rest. The burger also comes with pickles and very finely chopped coleslaw. The coleslaw was very good. I know alot of people tend to leave it out but this was actually pretty good. I usually like chunkier coleslaw but I had no comment on it really.

From the breakfast menu, we got the strawberry shortcake waffle. It comes topped with nutella, strawberry and whipped cream. Overall, it was very good. Our only note for next time would be to maybe ask for less nutella since it can be overwhelming, making it so you can’t really taste the waffle.

But again, the actual food is very good and the service is pretty great for such a busy spot. Will definitely be returning and trying more off of their menu.
