Krave, located in Tarouba Plaza, Marabella, has been open for a while now and I finally made it for a Sunday brunch.
Sundays are very sacred to me - but if there is something to do in South, you have a much better chance of getting me out of the house and out of my bunny slippers.
And so I ended up at Krave Restaurant for what, it seems, is now a very popular Sunday brunch. Lots of families made it to Krave that day for birthday celebrations or just for a Sunday away from the norm. And so we joined them.
Brunch -
Contraction of breakfast and lunch, usually occurring around the hour of 11 a.m. Typically reserved for snobs and biddies who like tea and jam. - Urban DictionaryI am neither a snob nor am I a biddy, and who says brunch is for either. Brunch is great for catching up, for winding down, whether you are a hot and swanky 20-something or sophisticated 50-something. I much prefer this:
A meal eaten when you wake up too late for breakfast, but do not want to go until lunch without having eaten. Instead you have a single meal called brunch. -Urban Dictionary
An excuse to have alcohol before noon. - Me
Feel free to have a Sunday lay-in, without starving your way to lunchtime. There are various breakfast options - waffles, rolls, made-to-order omelettes; and then there is a lunch buffet, which on the day included pasta, rice, pepperpot chicken, chunky vegetables and more. There is also sushi, if you are so inclined.
The dessert menu was pretty sexy, and you could also pig out on fruit if you so desired.

| I love me an omelette and this was nicely done. Made with love. |
 |
| My waffle superstar made me a quarter-waffle, and you can "dress" it as you like. My quarter waffle is sexy. |
 |
| Sampled a bit of everything (almost) from the lunch buffet, but had to leave some space for dessert. |

| Cute brownies |
 |
| Strawberry tartlets |
 |
| I did not have these but they look cute |
 |
| Fresh fruit was on the menu as well |
And yes, as the saying goes a brunch without booze is just a sad, late breakfast. And so we had cocktails, and with us being at the time in the throes of Carnival, the Carnival themed drinks were very special.

| Cocktails, anyone? Here you have a Pineomenal and a No Apology. |

| The special Dame Lorraine - another looker that I did not try but it was a hit around the table |
Krave is pleasant, the service is to be commended (no...really. kudos) and for those living South of the lighthouse, and for whom Sundays are not so sacred, it is a nice alternative to facing the stove or facing the highway on a Sunday morning.
Brunch at Krave Restaurant starts at 10.30am and goes until 3 pm.
