We have been to brunch at Clarion this Sunday. the athmosphere is relaxed and quiet, despite we were there in the heat of the brunch time. unfortunately, i cannot say it is cosy and warm: tables are aligned down to not too spacious aisle, and look on a park to be, which now is a construction site. the brunch itself consists in a selection of international food, with no particular characterization. you can help yoursels with the traditional english breakfast, try some of the cold dishes, among which the unmissable salmon, and finally indulge in the selection of sweets. coffee and juices are included, wine and cocktails can be ordered, but the wine list is nothing exciting. overall, the quality is good, even if the coffee is not freshly brewed, the eggs á la benedicte look grey and the sweets are only of four varieties. the staff, though, is extremely nice and friendly.
my disappointment was stronger given my high expectations: Clarion’s brunch is cured by Aquavit, Stockholm’s newly opened branch of the famous swedish restaurant in NY. indeed, i made the mistake of checking on the web what was having a bruch at Aquavit in NY like, and the difference left me unsatified.
