Sometimes the best places are not on the Web

This morning in Delray, Florida, my husband, daughter and I sought out a place for Sunday Brunch. (We’re here visiting my husband Adam’s grandmother.) Not knowing the area, we decided to search the Internet for recommendations. Since we are vegetarian, we always look for vegetarian recommendations first. Eventually we found a place that promised to have “the best brunch in South Florida,” a great atmosphere, and a wonderful view of the water. When we got down there however, they were not yet open. We figured we could walk around a little before eating. Strolling Atlantic Avenue we came upon Boheme Bistro (or Cafe La Boheme). We stopped, looked at the menu and decided to stay. The food was superb. I had a Mediterranean Omelette and Adam had “Grandma’s Eggs.” We sat outside in a lovely brick courtyard, the staff was friendly, and Esther (our daughter) enjoyed the bread thoroughly. If we had relied solely on the web, we never would have found this place*. If you happen to be in Delray, it’s between the intercoastal and the ocean on the south side of the street.

*I added the link above after discovering they do exist on the web but didn’t show up in our original searches for “brunch in Del Rey.” I guess the title of this entry should be “Sometimes the best places are not easy to find on the Web,” or “Don’t trust all web reviews since most people don’t know what good food is, anyway!”
