If you haven’t been to Bryant Street in Highland Park lately, check it out. One recently opened restaurant, E2, offers casual cuisine with a with a European (predominantly Italian) flair and is part of the burgeoning little commercial district. The small eatery is owned by executive chef Kate Romane and Larry Lagattuta of Enrico Biscotti, the well-known bakery and cafe in the Strip District.

The brunch menu includes a nice mix of traditional breakfast fare and hearty luncheon dishes. My favorite was the brioche breakfast ($10): homemade brioche and pieces of Camembert on mixed greens with sliced Granny Smith apples—all drizzled with truffle honey. The frittata changes weekly; the feta, olive and oregano version ($11) is light and fluffy and not overcooked. The bread puddings and French toast (both made with Enrico’s homemade bread) change weekly and are excellent as well.

For those who can’t wait ’til their meal arrives, E2 also offers "OMGs" (which stands for “Oh my gosh—I am so hungry!”). Romane says, “I want people to have something to nibble on when they come in hungry and are looking at the menu.” During brunch, OMG offerings include homemade beignets, donuts and zeppolis (savory fried dough sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and pepper with optional anchovies rolled into the dough).
