There are few places in Islamabad that offer all-day breakfast, and that too with a decent variety of breakfast items.
Opened with exactly that vision, Baramda in F-11 Markaz is a hideaway perfect for a lazy weekend morning.
The restaurant itself is tiny, with the picture window along the front wall giving the illusion of being a bit more spacious.
A long wooden bench runs along two of the walls and fake creepers climbing up the walls gives the interior a more relaxed vibe.
A bar has been established at the right of the room, with the menu emblazoned on a board on top, the writing on which is too small to read from afar.
The seating in the corridor outside is more interesting, with crater like stools serving as seating at low tables, a trellis lined with fake creepers and fairy lights adding a touch of festivity, and lending the air of being seated in a small, private garden.
Though by no means extensive, the all-day breakfast menu pulls in diners on weekends, with the omelettes being one of the fluffiest in Islamabad.
By far the best omelette is the cheese, jalapeno and sausage omelette. Served with a side of baked beans and toast, the omelette is well done and fluffy, every bite laced with smooth, melted cheese.
The Mexican crepe, which comes sprinkled with olives and jalapenos, is a spicier option for starting the day.
