Another place I've been visiting for years and forgot to review. Everyone else has said a ton about the food. The pastries are, indeed, great. I can indulge my weakness for almond croissant. Nice option for a peaceful lunch.
OK -- here's why I really love this place. A few years ago, the owner put up some paintings by a friend of his from Lyon. There was an about-the-artist sign on the wall. All it said was "He paint just during the night."
Minus one star for the Malthusian disaster that is the Esplanade parking garage.
