Edelweiss in Roscoe Village?

“Small and white. Clean and bright.
You look happy to meet me.”

Victory’s Banner reminded me of the song “Edelweiss” from the “Sound of Music” as I walked into the small but sunny and mellow place. The waitresses were garbed in sari’s which was rather unexpected but definitely went well with the meditative “feel” of the place. You can read more about the restaurant’s humble beginnings on their website.

Friendly people – staff and customers alike. Some looked like frequent fliers. It seemed like the people around us tried the unusual curry omelette, with good reactions. Good food. Not out of this world, per se, but definitely good enough to come back and try again.

Got a taste of my friend’s almond french toast, which was just fluffy and sweet enough for my palate.

Dishes I tried:

Broccoli and Cheddar

Omelette with fresh broccoli flowerettes and cheddar cheese. Comes with potatoes and bread on the side. Good size, filling.

tiny place, but delicious breakfast

as a big fan of french toast, i was immediately wowed by victory’s varied selection of different french toast dishes. most places i’m lucky if i find 2 options, but 3?! then, you know there’s something good going on.

victory’s is a tiny corner establishment, making for a very cozy breakfast experience— the tables are so closely packed together it’s easy to catch your neighbor’s conversation. but, the food is quite good…along the lines of solid home cookin’ than fine gourmet. this is a far cry from bongo room or orange, but it’s down-to-earth and home grown feel make for an altogether casual, soothing morning meal. i’d definitely consider coming back again.

Dishes I tried:

i saw the words ‘stuffed’ and ‘french toast’ together, and had to give it a try. i didn’t catch quite exactly what was stuffed in this french toast, but it sure was sweet and very very tasty. one of the best, sweetest french toast dishes i’ve had in awhile. yum!
