Burning Brownie gained popularity in Islamabad and has now expanded its offerings to Lahore. The extensive menu at Burning Brownie includes cakes, pastries, cheesecakes, brownies, and much more. The menu also features breakfast options.
We sampled the Pain Perdu, Omelet, and Scrambled Eggs from the breakfast menu. The omelet was perfectly cooked and fluffy with onions, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, jalapeños, mushrooms, and cheese. Served alongside grilled tomatoes, air-roasted potatoes, sausages, fresh green salad, and white bread, it was a treat for the taste buds.
Equally satisfying were the softly set scrambled eggs, complemented by sautéed potatoes, roasted tomatoes, sausages, fresh green salad, and white bread – a comforting and flavorful combination.
A standout among the breakfast offerings was the PAIN PERDU, stealing the show with its golden-brown slices, expertly caramelized to achieve a delightful crispness on the outside and a soft interior. It was paired with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
While our appetites were satiated with the breakfast choices, we couldn’t resist exploring Burning Brownie’s renowned desserts. Opting for the Burning Brownie cheesecake, hazelnut pastry, and a selection of other tempting treats, we were thoroughly impressed by the quality and finesse of each dessert.
