Cafe Noir, located in Prescott Market, is a highly praised bistro known for its flavorful and high-quality food. It offers a variety of meals, including breakfast, brunch, and dinner options. The Jollof is described as rich with the perfect spice level, and the oxtail is cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes are especially popular, and the sweet potato pancakes topped with blueberry compote, toasted hazelnuts, and homemade whipped cream are considered a must-try. The breakfast menu features standout items like the sausage and biscuit sando and a very spicy farro bowl with eggs, both receiving high praise for their flavor. The breakfast sandwiches are regarded as some of the best in town.
Cafe Noir's quick and friendly service adds to the positive experience. Many visitors find the food to be delicious and memorable, although there was a mention of a disappointing visit with stale hazelnuts and melted whipped cream. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a hidden gem in the neighborhood food hall, offering a next level dining experience and a welcoming atmosphere. It is highly recommended for those seeking flavorful, high-quality meals in Prescott Market.
