I was fortunate enough to dine at the Mandarin Oriental's Cafe MoZu for breakfast on Saturday morning. I've always loved Eggs Benedict, and Cafe MoZu's version doesn't disappoint. The eggs were perfectly poached, the hollandaise sauce enhanced by a drizzle of black truffle salsa. It was the first time I'd been to Cafe MoZu, and actually the first time I'd stepped foot in the Mandarin Oriental, which is dramatically decorated with majestic views of the Potomac and the Jefferson Memorial. It's easy to imagine the labyrinthine hotel and its two restaurants (in addition to MoZu, the hotel boasts Eric Ziebold's celebrated CityZen) playing host to power lunches and clandestine political dealings. It had a sort of clubby, privileged vibe without being overly stuffy. Very DC. Very good eggs. All in all, it was an absolutely lovely way to start the weekend.
