Fresca, it's Brunchtastic!

Sunday brunch at Fresca is a treat. Along with the usual Fresca menu of latin-inspired dishes, a parade of heavenly benedicts and/or scrambles are available for ordering, along with pitchers of sangria.

Although it's a "Peruvian" restaurant, the dishes at Fresca are more clean, modern and fusion-y rather than hearty and traditional. Still, Fresca makes an excellent ceviche. We got the sampler ceviche, which came with octopus ceviche in black ink, coconut ceviche, and two other scrumptious varieties. Pretty expensive (about $30-40 for 4 little portions), but really good.

Almost as tasty, and definitely less expensive was the stacked smoked salmon benedict, topped with hollandaise sauce, pesto, a perfect jumbo poached egg with a side of fries and fruit.

We went to the Noe Valley location, but it appears there's Fillmore and West Portal locations as well.
