We finally discovered the best thing closest to a French Patisserie in Utah. It's called Gourmandise and Oh, la la, C'est tres magnifique!
After we got our free meal from KFC (thanks Oprah!) we told the kids we'd get them a treat. I didn't know Tyler had this in mind. They were in heaven. We were in heaven :)
Tyler's favorite is the Mille Feuille (thousand leaves) or the Napoleon in America. Mine, in Paris, was the boring, Eclair. But to be honest, it wasn't very good here. So, the second time I tried their pear tart and it did not disappoint. And of course their chocolate mousse cake is divine. The kids enjoyed a chocolate porcupine, with help of course. It was a trio of white, chocolate mousse with chocolate cake and raspberry filling covered in dark chocolate and spiky almonds. Fun and delicious!
Plus the ambiance is great. They have outdoor seating and it feels like you're in a streetside cafe in Paris.
Ah, C'est la vie! (I apologize that I don't know how to add the accents....Wendy?)
K, I actually meant to follow your blog some time ago, but sometimes google reader plays tricks on me:). I'm glad you reminded me about it on facebook.
ReplyDeleteWe just found a wonderful little french bakery restauraunt called "La Madeline" here in Houston. It's delightful. Except they call their "pain au chocolat" "chocolate croissants". Really, did it need translation?
Can't wait to try the place!!! I'll call you about this weekend!
ReplyDeleteWe discovered this little gem a few months ago and we LOVED it. I could go for that chocolate porcupine right now!
ReplyDeleteWhere is it located, Hannah?
