I have heard a lot of great things about the Laurier Lounge. While walking down around downtown one day looking for a place to lunch, I passed by a cute little house. And then realized I had stumbled upon this restaurant that is hailed among the tweeps I follow.
I decided to stop in and I ordered the steak croissant sandwich. That has Brie on it. And a delicious Dijon mustard. And Brie. I fell in love with that croissant-wich sitting on that patio while sipping a cold beer and enjoying the warm sunshine. PLUS they were playing French jazz. I can honestly state that I felt like i was on vacation outside of Calgary sitting on that patio that early afternoon. I did have that patio to myself so that could have swayed the vibe in my favour, but I will take it.
I do need to return to Laurier Lounge. Not just to nurture the relationship I have with my new favorite sandwich ever, but also to try the poutine that I have looked at with food envy on Instagram so many times.
