This past weekend we met some friends for brunch at The Bedford Village Inn. We reserved one of the heated igloos and It was absolutely beautiful and the snow we got the night before really enhanced the Christmas feeling! It was warm and cozy from the fireplace heater they had going. We brought a blanket with us just in case but we did not need it, in fact we did not need our jackets either.
It was bright from the hanging chandelier.
We had a delightful waiter who was very attentive and personable. He recommended starting with freshly made pastries that they make daily along with the eggs Benedict or the blueberry pancakes. Who were we to complain with a basket of fresh made pastries!
There was also a blueberry muffin in there but I was slow in getting pictures as we were enjoying our company with Rick and Annmarie. Rick and Jim grew up together so we have Been friends for many years but sadly have not seen them in quite sometime until recently when they moved from California back to New Hampshire.
Our breakfast choice was very simple for all of us. We all funny enough decided on the Eggs Benedict with herb roasted potatoes on the side. The English muffin was not your average English muffin, we all agreed they must have been home made. The Canadian bacon was thinly sliced, the eggs were perfectly cooked with a runny center that covered the ham and English muffin. The hollandaise sauce was rich and creamy pulling the dish together perfectly. We all really enjoyed our choice, our waiter was spot on with his recommendations!
When reserving one of igloo’s there is a price separate for the igloo but ALSO a minimum order amount so be sure to check out The Bedford Village Inn website for information, reservations and cancellation policies prior to going. With that being said we did not meet the dollar amount so Jim and Rick both ordered the pork ramen to go. Annmarie ordered the flourless chocolate cake to go and I had the marble cheesecake to go. Needless to say I did not cook at all Sunday!
The ramen came beautifully packed as you can see. This had a savory pork and mushroom broth, pulled pork, smoked pork belly, vegetables, beet pickled egg, pickled shiitake and ramen noodles.
This dish was absolutely fantastic! Jim and Rick both LOVED it. I tried the broth and it was amazing, so much flavor! I don’t care for mushrooms so this is not a dish for me.
The marble cheesecake, oh that marble cheesecake…..just delicious. Marble cheesecake served with vanilla creme Anglaise, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. It was creamy, rich, velvety and down right delicious! My home plating did not do this cheesecake the justice it deserved!
This was the perfect time to enjoy The Bedford Village Inn , we took a quick walk through the Inn after our brunch as it was decorated beautifully with wreathes, Christmas Trees all about and a gorgeous fireplace glowing.
Everything about The Bedford Village Inn including our company was just perfect. Our time spent with Rick and Annmarie was priceless with so many laughs. Perfect way to start the day.
