Missing Paris? Why yes I am! This little French Patisserie kept popping up in my Yelp feed calling my name and although this cafe was not along the Seine I was excited to check it out.
I arrived and there was just three people inside including myself which gave me the opportunity to interact with Chef Pierre. He recommended I try one of the Buckwheat Galette and I am so glad I did. I chose the vegetarian version which included celery, carrots and turnips. I had the pleasure of watching him create this artistic dish. When it was ready, he walked it over and served me. I was very impressed with his personal service and the care he took in making my dish. The Galette tasted fresh and the vegetables had the right amount of crunch. I enjoyed a cup of green tea and enjoyed each bite!
As I sat there looking around, I noticed the simplistic and clean interior which I just loved. Minimal decor in the dining area and the showcases are not crammed full of pastries. There are just the right amount and it is looks classy. The location of the cafe is in a strip mall but stands out from the surrounding businesses.
A few moments after I begun to eat, the place filled up fast. I noticed croissants being served along with a very mouth watering quiche that I plan to try next time. Although, I was very full from consuming the Galette, I was wishing I had a little more room left to try the cinnamon roll. There is yet another reason to return. Merci' Chef Pierre, I will see you again soon!
