Breakfast at Bambara

A colleague and myself visited Bambara for breakfast this morning. Going in I wasn’t expecting much. We had vouchers for free “continental” breakfast since we are staying at Hotel Monaco and I figured that wouldn’t get us much at the restaurant… I was wrong.

Bambara

Hello Foodies! I am sitting here in all my miserable glory after overeating at Bambara in Salt Lake City. After hearing that Bambara and chef Nathan Powers were the best in town, Derek and I had to see for ourselves. It just so happens that the restaurant is located in our hotel, Hotel Monaco…most convenient.
