Cizool

From seats facing the open counter at Cizool, the aromas and sounds of cooking set a relaxed morning tone. Among the morning offerings, the French toast plate is a standout: thick bread steeped thoroughly in egg and butter until soft, balanced by crisp bacon, tangy carrot râpées, a fresh side salad, and yogurt. The savory salt of the bacon cuts neatly through the sweet, custardy bread, while the gentle acidity of the carrots rounds out each bite.

Breakfast options are versatile. Guests can keep things simple with a buttered toast morning—choosing between square loaf slices or baguette—or explore hearty plates such as cheese toast, sandwiches, and croque monsieur. A pizza toast morning topped with bacon and mushrooms is also on hand for those seeking a sturdier start to the day.

Come lunchtime, classic kissaten comfort dishes take center stage. The menu features soft-cooked omurice finished with a house tomato sauce, alongside chewy, thick-strand Napolitan spaghetti generously loaded with ingredients. Both can be ordered as sets complete with salad, yogurt, and an after-meal drink. Portions can be adjusted up or down, and extras such as a fried egg or basil and cheese allow diners to tailor their plate to their appetite.

Coffee is brewed with tabletop syphons, offering house options such as an Ethiopian roast, a medium-roast El Salvador, and a dark-roast Brazil blend, alongside a monthly rotating single origin. A thoughtful selection of drinks extends to red, white, and orange wines, Heartland beer, and daytime à la carte plates like free-range egg omelets and sautéed mushrooms, making it just as inviting for an unhurried glass in the early afternoon.
