Top of the Town 2011

We can’t think of a better way to start the day than with the basket of freshly baked, assorted pastries at Olivéa in Uptown. Order it with a cup of coffee, and relax while you browse the rest of the menu. The breakfast flatbread (crème fraîche, applewood-smoked bacon, onions, and sunny-side ups) and the eggs Olivéa (fried eggs over creamy polenta with sage, pine nuts, and San Marzano tomato sauce) should be morning staples. Time it right and you might nab a coveted table on the sunny patio. 719 E. 17th Ave., 303-861-5050, www.olivearestaurant.com
