Looking for a brunch spot? Want something different? But don’t want to compromise on the quality of the food? Well, then Sugar and Olives in Norwalk is your place.
Sugar & Olives has been around for over three years. They are a permanent fixture at the Westport Farmers Market. And yet it is amazing how few people have heard of them. This may partly be because of the fact that they are tucked away on a side street off of Post Rd. Right between Whole Foods and Bow Tie Cinemas, many of us pass them by without realizing that they are there.
When I think of Sugar&Olives, two words come to mind, ”unique and delicious”. A very trendy and unconventional interior with lounge like atmosphere and open kitchen. You may almost feel like you have walked into your friend’s home … you know the one who really knows how to cook? :-)
Jennifer, the owner is a very talented lady. She prides in the quality of her ingredients and the genius of her cooking. With a menu that changes daily (based on seasonal ingredients and what Jennifer is able to buy that day) this place can never be boring. As if that is not enough, Jennifer has a knack of creating dishes that have layers of surprises built into them.
Case in point, we ordered an egg white frittata. It was loaded with gorgeous and fresh cherry tomatoes. As we started biting into it, we noticed the yummy pea puree that had formed a hidden bed underneath. The bright green of the pea puree was so striking with the red of the tomatoes. What a sight! A few more bites into this frittata, and we hit the olive tapenade, buried in the center. All I can say is, WOW!
