Pistachio Lark Lane

When choosing where to eat breakfast on a Sunday morning, I often lean towards The Tavern Company, with the choice of pancakes, and never ending refills of tea and coffee throughout the course of the meal.  However, on this occasion, I decided to break from this dangerously tasty habit, and instead, try a new eatery.

Pistachio is excellently located at the end of Lark Lane, just a stones throw from the beautiful surroundings of Sefton Park.  Choosing a window seat was an inspired idea, as the characters frequenting the vicinity - especially before midday - are eclectic to say the least, and one of my most favourite activities in the world is people watching.  This past time kept me entertained while waiting for my vegetarian breakfast.  My bleary eyes were nudged slightly by the coffee provided with my meal - however, it was only one cup, which disappointed me a little.  I suppose that I have been spoiled a little bit by Tavern Company's ridiculously amazing service!

I was pleasantly surprised when our breakfasts arrived, to see that the vegetarian breakfast is twice as big as the (meat) English breakfast, for the same price.  The food was lovely, and the service was fast, and friendly.  The price does not break the bank, and the decor is inviting and comfortable.  Pancakes are available on the menu, in the "American" breakfast, but sadly, this is the only breakfast on the menu to come with mini potatoes instead of hash browns.

I feel to fully experience this restaurant, I should possibly come for another meal besides breakfast, as I'm sure it has a lot more to offer, and I feel that my unfair comparisons to The Tavern are making Pistachio seem second best.  I sincerely look forward to visiting again!
