A Family Dream Come True

The Lotus Den has officially taken over the former Crave building, but this isn’t just another restaurant opening. Behind it is a touching story—a brother and sister opening the doors so their parents could finally live out their lifelong dream of owning a restaurant. With their parents’ health declining, it was important to make this vision a reality as quickly as possible. That heart and dedication shine through the experience here.

So, How’s the Food?

The big question, of course—does the food live up to the hype? The answer: absolutely!

We started with the Brie appetizer, which was pure oooey-gooey goodness. Paired with crispy fried pita chips, it was the perfect start.

Other highlights included the quiche and hand-cut truffle fries, a comforting and flavorful duo. The fruit and yogurt parfaits were as gorgeous as they were delicious—balanced with fresh fruit, granola, and just the right amount of sweetness.

The quail eggs with potatoes didn’t wow us, but the crab dip more than made up for it. In fact, it might just be one of the best crab dips in town!

The pancakes with fresh fruit and scratch-made whipped cream were simple but elevated. The luxurious whipped topping pulled the dish together beautifully. And the real star of creativity? Combining the crab dip with the chorizo and egg burrito—an unexpectedly perfect bite.

A Toast with the Espresso Martini

Let’s not forget the drinks. The Espresso Martini here is a must-try. Unlike other spots that add cream liqueurs like Baileys, this one is bold and clean—perfect for true espresso fans. The best part? They make their espresso from scratch daily, so it’s smooth and not bitter. Espresso martini lovers, bump this to the top of your list. Brunch Details You’ll Want to Know
