To finish up a great weekend full of visitors, eating and drinking we decided to go to Kingswood for brunch. Not really sure when they started serving brunch, but it's a good thing they do. It has a completely different feel from dinner, I almost thought I was at a different restaurant. It was bright and sunny and not as loud as it is for dinner when you can barely hear yourself talk because the bar area is so crowded full of gorgeous people drinking martinis.
It was almost a spring day on Sunday, I even got to wear my sunglasses, so the West Village was the perfect brunch spot.

The six of us got seated at one of the communal tables in the middle of the restaurant. I was on the end so I'm not sure if it was weird to sit so close to another group of diners but there was a chair in between the parties.
The menu is definitely not your typical brunch place, no pancakes or waffles but a good amount of egg dishes. We had heard the fried egg sandwich was great and the burger sounded amazing with french fries and truffle mayo. Three of us got the burger and the other three got the egg sandwich.. it's no wonder we're all such good friends.
The burger was huge served with cheddar cheese and sweet chili sauce which I learned is very Australian. I forgot to say that Kingswood is an Australian restaurant. Not sure what that means exactly but three girls studied abroad there and noticed some key Australian dishes. I've never been to Australia but do like sweet chili sauce and Nutella so I think I would survive just fine.
I loved the sweet chili sauce with the burger, it was a great touch and made it different than the usual hamburger that I eat with ketchup and mustard. The fries were also delicious with the truffle mayo. I actually hate mayo but when it's combined with truffle oil, how can I refuse? I didn't eat the bun (not because I'm healthy but because it was too messy and greasy) so I can't comment on that but I heard no complaints at my table.
The fried egg sandwich didn't look like one I would have imagined. It was an open faced sandwich with two eggs that looked sunny side up to me. It came with a pesto sauce and a spinach salad and usually has prosciutto but my friends opted out. The reviews weren't great and it didn't come with fries which probably would have made it better. The crowd favorite was for sure the Ruby's Bronte Burger and it's on the dinner menu also if you can't make it for brunch.
