Review of Wedge & Fig in Olde City Philadelphia

We often like to eat within 30 minutes after our work out so we decided to visit Olde City's Wedge and Fig after boot camp.

As we approached the tiny bistro, it was spilling over with people. Everyone insisted on waiting despite the 30 minutes it would take for seating (suggested by the host). I took that as a good sign and insisted that we stay as well. 

We were glad we did. First, we did not have to wait 30 minutes to be seated. Anya is very inquisitive and noticed an alley on the side of the bistro. I inquired about the tunnel/alley which lead to the rear of the building and ... ta'dah! The alley lead to available seating in the back with the relaxing decor of a  "private garden" as I like to call it. Turns out you have to specifically ask for this particular section. It's more private then the general bistro experience. 

It was a perfect little place to enjoy brunch. I didn't order any of their fine cheese that day but the tea, sandwich, and soup were all wonderful. 

The tea was soothing. The tuna was fresh and the cheddar was flavorful to say the least. The entire experience added to an already lovely day right after getting our Xtreme Fitness on. 

I had the French Melt - savory Tuna Lautrec and Cantal Cheddar on a rustic French roll with a Pot of Rooibos Chai Tea. Anya had the omelette of the day served with Lemon Parmesan Potatoes, Multigrain toast, and soup of the day. I would definitely suggest  taking a visit, and don't forget to ask for private seating in the back.
