Luques Restaurant, Chancellor Hotel, 433 Powell St.

Best breakfast I've had in a LONG time. And not really any more expensive, considering its slightly more upscale location and atmosphere, than the Honey Honey Cafe (once Crepe House) up Post St.

Tucked into the Chancellor Hotel on Powell between Post and Sutter is a tiny, clean, calm restaurant. A friend and I got there at 11:30 and there were few other diners. We were able to get bloody marys before the bar was officially open, and it was the best one I'd had in years. The spinach, pine nut, feta cheese egg scramble was very fresh and tasty without being too strong, and the wedge cut home fries were like french fries, which is unusual (being completely deep fried and not pan-fried). The coffee was DELICIOUS. The service was very good. There is a 20% off coupon on their website. Breakfast for two came to $30! Very reasonable considering cocktails were involved.

This will be a place I will go to regularly!
