Alba Café elevates brunch in Neuchâtel

In Neuchâtel, Alba Café has established itself as a prime destination for brunch enthusiasts. Owner Alessia, 29, intentionally keeps the menu concise, featuring three sweet and three savory dishes. This focused approach allows for high-quality execution of popular brunch items.

The avocado toast, priced at 14 francs, is elevated with feta, cottage cheese, honey, and pomegranate seeds. However, the star attraction remains the eggs Benedict, served on brioche with salmon and hollandaise sauce for 16 francs. These dishes showcase a thoughtful combination of textures and flavors.

During weekday lunches, the café expands its offerings to include a selection of sandwiches, with the pulled beef version being a notable highlight at 16 francs. For those with a sweet tooth, the brioche French toast, also 16 francs, is a must-try, often served with caramelized banana.

Alba Café, which opened in March, provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, demonstrating that a limited menu can indeed impress. The cafe successfully caters to diverse tastes, including vegan options, within its thoughtfully designed space.
