Madison Sourdough

Madison Sourdough is one of my favorite Madison breakfast venues. Both the kitchen and the bakery dole out some serious culinary magic. During a recent visit, the potato hash was cooked in duck fat was nearly flawless. The vegetables (Yukon gold potatoes, onion, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, beets) were deeply roasted and well seasoned. The over easy eggs were expertly cooked and the runny deep orange yolks really helped pull the dish together. The only modification I would make would be to add a small salad to balance out the richness of the dish. My daughter devoured the Sourdough French Toast that came with a pile of dense cinnamon flavored whipped cream. The French toast had a wonderful exterior crunch to balance out the custardy interior. My family is also a fan of the orange gateau basque with its creamy citrus filling. The restaurant is well staffed. Despite visiting at the peak of the brunch rush, service went smoothly. We found a table a couple of minutes after we placed our order and the food arrived a short time later. While you bus your own table, a staff member dropped by our table to see what we thought of our meal. The menu changes seasonally and there is a wonderful outdoor seating area during the summer months.
