Le Parisien Café and Bakery

What's it like?

I was hesitant to brunch at Le Parisien this afternoon because my first crepe experience there was subpar. However, my family was looking for a light meal at a low cost to hold us over for a larger family meal later on in the day, so it was worth checking out. This time, I decided to try something new: the croque madame. Two slices of white bread, béchamel sauce (a light creamy white sauce), slices of ham, monterey jack cheese melted on the sandwich, with a fried egg on top. It was heavenly. The salad wasn't incredibly impressive but if you like creamy goodness, I'd highly recommend the croque madame. It's comparable to a monte cristo sandwich, except the bread isn't dipped in batter or fried. Less calories? :)

Le Parisien is perfect for a quick and easy meal and the girl that took our order was friendly and helpful. The café was practically empty, so our food was brought to us in a timely matter (can't speak for other times). The owners are French, and even though they weren't there to persuade me with their cool accents, I still hear the voices of the shiny pastries calling my name to come back and try the torte or chocolate eclair...and I'll probably have to give the nutella crepe a chance, too!
