GREAT EATS HAWAII: GOLDY'S BREAKFAST BISTRO

GOLDY'S BREAKFAST BISTRO

BOISE, IDAHO

When we asked locals where to eat in Boise, they all said Goldy's. Most said to go there but get ready to wait an hour for a seat. No way we were going to wait an hour we said. Then came some beers on Friday night and a commitment to go to Goldy's before the Boise State vs Hawaii football game. We arrived around 7:30 am and found that the wait was not an hour. Rather 45 minutes. No problem we said. We signed in and took a nice walk down the street to the State Capitol. The Capitol was beautiful in the morning. Very peaceful. Goldy's provides free coffee outside and the people line up despite the cold and rain. We were greeted by a lovely host and owner named Wanda. Wanda keeps the place moving and makes everyone feel at home. The menu features a variety of Eggs Benedict dishes that they call Eggs Benny. You can get a half order (which is huge) for around $5 and a full order for $7 to $10 bucks. Totally worth the price. I tried the Eggs Benny with ham, hollandaise and a large slice of tomato sandwiched between the eggs and muffin. Think they called this the Eggs Blackstone. Hands down the best Eggs Benedict I have ever tasted. I didn't think that I could finish a full order but it was so good that I devoured it all. To compliment by Eggs Benny I ordered a Mimosa with no orange juice. This was the best Mimosa I ever had. They served up what looked like a half bottle of champagne in a huge water goblet. See photo above. The champagne was filled to almost the top. Suffice to say I felt very good going to the football game. My friend had an egg dish that was filled with other things. Can't remember the name of it or what was in it because I was totally consumed by my Eggs Benny and champagne. Goldy's is a must eat and TASTE OF HAWAII FAVORITE.
