| - Quiche Lorraine and dark roast coffee, what could be more French? My experience, overall, was positive with friendly staff, warm food, and hot coffee. I concur that ordering is awkward and if you're looking for a sit down service with waitstaff, this ain't it (c'est pas çe).
My quiche was well prepared and fresh. The hint of nutmeg found in classic quiche from the northern part of France (Lorraine) was spot on. I missed, however, the tangy bite of gruyere cheese and onion playing off each other. While tasty, it was more an eggy custard with diced, sliced ham than the familiar cheesy custard. The portion size matched it's price at $6.29.
Cannot say I'm excited to return. Maybe it's because I prefer the genuine thing with all its quirks, trials, and intimacy over a big box copy cat. Au revoir, Le Madeline.
