Brunch at Montparnasse

Montparnasse (51st between 2nd and 3rd Avenues) is a classic French bistro. It doesn't feel gimmicky or fake. It's been around a while and should be around a while longer. I was just there for brunch and go there often. Brunch is generally a pretty good meal for us celiacs-- a plate of eggs and some fried potatoes is naturally gluten-free! This weekend I had the mushroom omelet which comes with potatoes and salad. I also stole a few french fries (which are incredibly good) off my friend's plate. Not sure those are gluten-free though! I heard the bread with the raisins and nuts is quite good too from my guilty dining partners. (I find gluten-eaters often feel guilty eating bread around me. It's funny because it doesn't bother me a bit. A bread basket looks like a day of being sick to me-- yuck!)
