With every intention of trying Hank's, I passed by Petite Thuet and decided to stop in since it's been a bookmark of mine here for a while.
The food cases had tonnes of delicious looking pastries, salads and sandwiches. I couldn't decide between the Lobster Salad sandwich or the chicken pesto panini. I asked the chef and he said the lobster salad is made with fresh Nova Scotia lobster and crab -- in other words, no "krab with a k"! It's mixed with a spicy mayo and is served on a pretzel roll. Delish! It was $9 which I thought was high for a sand, but I guess it's the price you pay for lobster. I couldn't resist ordering a pastry -- I mean, it's a french pastry shop after all! -- and ordered a cafe au lait and the opera cake. Both were very, very good, and I believe they told me that everything is made in-house. They had macarons, but I'll have to make a second trip back to try those!
The staff was friendly enough, but were a little arrogant, imo. The shop is small, but has enough seating, and they have plasma TVs if you can't stand being away from CP24 for more than 30 mins.
