The Brunch Review: FARMiCiA

Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! I hope your day was full of love & friendship. Mine just happened to be full of brunch. Since my boyfriend is currently out of the country (hey, Ry!), my friend Christie graciously offered to go to brunch with me at a little place called FARMiCiA.

For Review: FARMiCiA

that old city charm

Location: Old City

What you’ll love: The location (right on S. 3rd, a two minute walk from The Gaslight, another great brunch place), the rustic atmosphere and the ridiculous fast service (seriously, it took 10 minutes tops to get our food after ordering).

Everything sounds amazing… But I recommend the Apple French Toast al a mode if you’re craving something sweet, or the Eggs Benedict (with smoked salmon) if you want something savory. Oh and Christie highly recommends the roasted potatoes as a side. I have to second that. They were fab.

look at all the sweet goodness.

Like your brunch boozy? No problem. Happy Hour is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. which means all beer, cocktails and wine are half price.

my beautiful Valentine!

The *: It’s pretty hoppin’ on the weekends so make a reservation. They use Open Table so that’s convenient.

The bottom line: FARMiCia is more proof that Philly has great brunch. Go there on a date with your girlfriends, or a real date-date, or even with your parents.
