| - Paris 66 just got a new chef and a new dinner menu about a month ago, along with some new kitchen equipment so anyone who liked the potential of this place, be sure to give it another shot. I stopped in off of the street to get a pain au chocolat which they advertise for $3(they also sell baugettes, croissants, and a few other things in a similar way), but after learning that they bake them on-demand(pre-ordering recommended) and that it would take 15 minutes I opted for the apple tart I saw in the pastry case.
The service was friendly but the tart was actually priced as a full-fledged dessert, so that wound up costing about 3x as much as I had entered intending to pay. You might say that's my fault, and it would be more appropriately priced had I just finished dinner at this place, but to walk up to a counter and ask for something from behind the glass to be so expensive was a bit much for me.
C'est la vie, though - they sprinkled it with powdered sugar and sent me along my way with a small side of homemade caramel. When I got home, I gave it a taste, it was really delicious, and the caramel sauce was out of this world. I would eat that stuff on just about any dessert item they had. It took away most of the sting of the purchase, and I'm glad I stopped in, and I will return to get my pain au chocolat
