| - It was a gloomy Sunday morning, and man friend wanted nothing more than simple bread with butter and jam.
"Isn't there anywhere that just has good break with butter and jam?" So we searched. Of ccourse, the usuals popped up for "best baguette in Toronto" search, which I won't name.
What's this Pain Perdu? Well, it's not that far, even though St. Clair has a billion traffic lights.
We decided to give it a try.
I wish my stomach was not already half stuffed with cereal, as I would have loved to try more. Manfriend ordered the asparagus and salmon quiche, with salad, a latte, and I ordered the mushroom and onion tart, with a regular coffee. We of course shared the baguette with butter and jam.
We were so impressed with the consistency of the quiche - it was light, fluffy, not overcooked, and not spongy. Even if you don't like quiche, I would suggest you try and order this! I would say it's 4.5 - 5! I've heard of onion tarts before, so decided to go ahead and order this traditional pastry. I was very happy with it, though I still eyed the quiche across the table...
OooooOOOohh!! The latte came in a bowl and was delicious. Though the drip coffee I ordered with probably the most flavourful, most rich I've had in months (if you're in the neighbourhood, I don't know how you wouldn't make this your morning stop), I can't help but feel I lost out on my beverage choice against the man friend...again!
I don't like jam. But I loved their strawberry home made jam (I think it was strawberry). It was thick, not gelatinous like the jar ones, and it was sooo tasty...
We also left with pate, an olive loaf, a croissant and pain au choc....
I took one star off because our original search was the best baguette, and though everything else excelled, the baguette didn't win me over.
I'm coming back here again next month :)
