I've been to Paris a handful of times. I lived there for a summer when I was 17. Never, have I had French pastries, croissants, or bread as good outside of the city of lights. \n\nMy fiancee and I went there this morning for the first time and were blown away. We ordered a quiche, a loaf of rye bread, a butter croissant, a pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant), and a pain au raisin, (a pastry with raisins...my favorite). Each was delicious. The quiche was light and fluffy (like it should be). The croissants were filled with enough butter to make them melt in your mouth. And the bread (which we tried at home) was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and delicious all around.\n\nI can't express how excited I am that we now have an authentic and outstanding French bakery in Pittsburgh. If only it were in Squirrel HIll (where I live) and not in Lawrenceville. I guess we'll have to make more trips out that way!
