PROVIDENCE – In this city teeming with restaurants, Jamie Lee Curtis knows the best spot to get brunch: Little Sister.

The actress, who is in town to film the political comedy movie "Ella McCay," posted a picture of her breakfast Sunday on Instagram to thousands of likes.

"If you find yourself in Providence, Rhode Island, I recommend highly this lovely little corner café @littlesisterpvd and their yummy food and drinks!," she captioned a photo of two eggs covered in hollandaise sauce covering a plate of delicious looking food.

What to know about Little Sister

Little Sister, at 737a Hope St., is a Puerto Rican café, restaurant and bakery that opened in 2020. Last year, head chef and co-owner Milena Pagán was nominated for a James Beard award.

It's a tiny, casual spot that has been designed to "feel like you’re hanging out at a friend’s house eating delicious home cooking, always something new," according to the website.
