The croissants ($1.85) at Patachou really are excellent. Flaky crust, moist inside, buttery, and great flavour. Probably the best I've had in Toronto. If I stopped eating here, and I wish I did, I'd be giving Patachou 5 stars.
The Lemon Tart ($5.25), my yard stick for French patisseries, was disappointingly very weak. The crust was decent, but the lemon curd filling just wasn't doing it for me. I still have a bad aftertaste in my mouth 20 minutes after eating the tart. For this price I expect much better.
To finish the review on a positive note, the Lemon Macaron ($1) was great. The meringue had a crispy shell and light interior and the lemon filling was creamy and delicious.
Stick to the croissants and you'll walk away happy.
