No you nerd, its pretty obvious when Alfred looks the first time it's Bruce, but he looks again and it turns out that is was just an oddly shaped baguette and a stray cat eating scraps off the table. I mean it should be pretty obvious that he was hallucinating when he grabbed his chest and had an old man heart attack right there in the cafe. Though I thought the following scenes where he developed the ether addiction and started an orphanage in New England were a bit overkill, but whatever Nolan's vision and all.
