Little Euro

The “Europeans” are a Spokane breakfast “must have”. The newest one, on the South Hill is as good as the original. Things to know: -You will always have a wait on a weekend. Just a fact. -Come prepared to wait, and like the original, there is good parking and the buzzer you get will work in your car. -The food choices and portion sizes are expansive and ridiculous. There will be leftovers and/or you will need a nap after. -They are creative with their seasonal specials and they are always worth trying. -The team is always lovely, I have never had anything but the kindest greetings and most helpful and competent servers in any of the restaurants. My sister’s bday is on Valentine’s Day so taking her out for her bday is always a bit of a challenge. This year we braved Little Euro on a Saturday, Holiday in the late morning. Rough mix for a Euro and knew we were there for the long haul. They were overrun as expected and they were cheerful despite the onslaught. We started the seasonal beignets, chocolate dipped strawberry - see pix, and they were out in a minute, hot, puffy and delicious; as well as a carafe of really great, hot coffee and the mimosa flight, watermelon was my fave, very refreshing and not too sweet, the seasonal one was peach/raspberry. Then the hard decisions on food. The only picture we did not get was the cinnamon roll we got for the “birthday cake” because we had to take it to go because there was just no way we had room for that. See pix of food, there is a “lighter fare” section that was perfect for our mom’s smaller appetite. Realistically, we could have all had it and had a great breakfast, but now we have leftovers for days. Our total bill for 3 of us was $103 before tip, so check out the pix and judge for yourself about the value. Nothing was price jacked for the holiday. 1 starter, 3 coffees, 1 mimosa flight, big enough to share, 3 huge breakfasts and 1 monster cinnamon roll. Felt like a good value to us, especially these days. Absolutely worth it! Important additional note: There were a couple of small hiccups, they handled them like pros who care about their customer experience. They handled everything efficiently and checked in a bunch after to make sure we were good. Photos won’t let me add titles for some reason so here is what they are: beignets, mimosa flight, Florentine Benedict with a biscuit and jam side, Swedish meatball “goulash” (eggs, hash browns, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, meatballs and gravy with lingonberries; with a side of banana, pecan caramel French toast, the lighter side breakfast of 1 egg with 2 Swedish meatballs and gravy with 1 strawberry crepe.

Honestly, I love the food. There is no confusion there. I ate in with someone else. And my first observation that I didn't care for was, that I was placed at a small table, where I and my party didn't have enough room, then I noticed someone alone sitting at a bigger table that would have been better suited for more than one person. Because of the amount of food we ordered, our table didn't necessarily have enough room and it was frustrating when the server had to play Jenga for something that could have been resolved by giving us a bigger table. We were also seated for a while before anyone got to us and neither I or my party really cared for the wait time, but our server did give us good service and had lovely nails. I may go back for the food, but I prefer not to sit in.

Our food was delicious, and they even have a kids’ menu and high chairs, which made dining with little ones super easy. Service was friendly and pretty fast too. Definitely a great spot for a family breakfast or brunch.

Huge portions and fresh, quality tasting ingredients. Also the best fresh squeezed orange juice I've ever had. It's a little on the expensive side, but the quality and large portions makes up for it. I easily could have split my meal

While a little noisy inside, the food is good, big portions, and good service. I will say that the food we got for the group was not as hot as I would want it to be, even the hot chocolate is just warm. May be my fault for going on a Sunday church rush. I will have to come back on another day instead. I got the Mediterranean Goulash and a side of French Toast. The toast was great and the goulash wasn't heavy at all, and I should have just ordered the half portion, took like half home as leftovers.
