I discovered this place quite by accident. I had a meeting, I wanted to sit down for said meeting, I looked across the street there were our options: 1) burger joint and the 2) french pastry shop. I had actually wanted to pick the burger joint because it had free wifi, but I was lured in by the promise of macaroons to this place. I LOVE French Macaroons, so tell me they are there, and I'm here.

I thought we were onto something when I saw a Lonely Planet sticker on the door and was in an even better mood when I saw a bowl of samples sitting on the countertop. Without thinking about what I might be sampling, I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth. Mmm. Goodness it was good. I was sold.

I was supposed to be having lunch, not dessert, so I went over to the display case with the lunch-like food. Lots of fresh salad options, some quiche, sandwiches and panini. I opted for the chicken penne salad and the beet salad, both of which were good. The person who gave me my plat originally gave me very little, but thankfully the nice guy at the cashier took a look at it, at me, decided it wasn't nearly enough food, and topped of my plate more.

Lunch was good, but in my mind the macaroons were where the real decision was going to be at. They had all sorts of flavours to choose from - passion fruit, cassis, pistachio, rose, hazelnut...I couldn't decide so I got them all. YUMMY. Expensive though - $1.5 per macaroon. Since they passed the macaroon test - Ill have to come back - unless of course I figure out how to make macaroons on my own first. :)
