So, who can wake up early enough to have time for a real breakfast? Not me, sweetheart. A little later in the day, we settled for brunch here at Chicago’s Orange Restaurant, Downtown Chicago.

The restaurant really lives up to its name by offering citrus-coffee, various concoct-it-yourself fruit blends, and fruit-themed entrees.

Orange’s signature appetizers are the ever-changing, sushi-themed pieces called Frushi (made of different fruits and sweet sticky rice). The fruits vary daily; we had kiwi with mango and cantaloupe.


Thai omelet. Orange offers a variety of themed breakfast items from this omelet to Chai French Toast to Chocolate Blueberry Waffles.

I had the Eggs Benedict with mozzarella, thick tomatoes, and avocado sauce with a side of mashed potatoes. It was plenty good with the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce (which I do not recommend tasting by itself).
