| There are so many reasons to fall for Gaia Bistro, a beautifully restored old house on trendy South Pearl Street that turns out some of the city's best breakfasts. We like the French press coffee, the complimentary baskets of house-made breads and muffins, and the creative prowess of executive chef Drew Middleton, whose organic buckwheat crêpes, swelled with everything from chorizo and creamed spinach to poblano chilies, bacon, sweet ricotta and oven-roasted tomatoes, are pumped with flavor. Middleton's sandwiches, which change with the seasons, are tasty, too, especially his duck sausage with apple butter and cabbage slaw mounded on a baguette. The best seats are on the patio, a shaded oasis that, during warm weather months, is flush with aromatic flowers and fresh herbs, all of which are utilized in Middleton's dishes. The intimate dining room, bedecked with hardwoods and mismatched tables, is tight, and there's nowhere to linger while waiting for a table, but the efficient staff is seasoned at moving parties along. |
