Le Culture Cafe | Detroit, MI

The atmosphere of this restaurant was very welcoming and warm. The staff was just as pleasant. The brunch menu had an excellent variety of flavors from lobster & crab grilled cheese, smothered chicken biscuit, and chicken & waffles. My pick was one of their most popular items, the seafood overload mac & cheese, my dining partner ordered another top dish, the seafood overload omelette. The mac & cheese is a five cheese blend with lump crab meat and a fried rock lobster tail on top. The lobster tail was so flavorful and fried to perfection. The mac & cheese had a good creamy consistency. The omelette was drenched in their house sauce, which was one of the best sauces I've ever had. The sauce is the boss! The food was so good that during our visit we went a second time before we headed back home to Chicago. We ordered the catfish & grits (came with chicken sausage) and salmon croquettes that came with gouda cheese grits. I added a side of cheese eggs and duck bacon, of which I never had so I was excited to try. The catfish & grits came drenched in that oh so delicious house sauce, we left nothing on the plate! The perfect bite: a piece of catfish, some grits and sauce, talk about a taste bud explosion! The salmon croquettes were my least favorite as well as the chicken sausage. The texture from the batter used to make the patty for the salmon was unsettling, it gave it a doughy taste and the chicken sausage had a strong bratwurst taste. I was looking for a breakfast sausage essence. The duck bacon was okay for my first try, I am sure it would have been a hit if it was maple flavored. Nonetheless the food at this restaurant is AMAZING and is a MUST TRY whenever you're in Detroit, MI!
