Lately i have been craving for a good croissant. An addiction i picked up after my trip to Seoul earlier this year. How does one know a good croissant when she sees one ? I only know that the first time i sank my teeth into the deceptively simple looking croissant served up in Hediard's "H" breakfast set, it was love at first bite. Crumbling at the slightest touch, buttery and suitably moist. You could enjoy it plain in between sips of freshly squeezed orange juice or add to the decadence by pairing it with generous lashings of orange marmalade or any assortment of jams you might fancy. The thought of jam oozing out with each bite is just so enticing i never fail to feel scrumptiously satisfied after devouring 2 freshly baked ones.
The 25 seater cafe is decked out in its signature red & black interior. I always make sure to ask for the seat next to the window to enjoy the natural sunlight streaming in on a lazy sunday morning. Just call at least one day in advance and the staff would be more than willing to oblige. Alternatively, you can book a table via their website online.
The shop next door carries a bewildering range of chocolates, soups, teas, coffees, jams, chutneys and wines... you can even find sugared violets here which can be added to your teas. I had the opportunity to discover a lovely wooden chest housing individually packed teas of 10-12 flavours. Elegant to a hilt when served up next to artfully displayed tea time treats, this makes for an elegant showcase for that perfect tete a tete when hosting for a small party at home / in the office. You can even find pre-packed containers of chocolate fondue mixture that can be popped into the microwave as a quick treat for two. A good dessert option thats easy to prepare after that nice candlelight dinner with that special someone in your life.
I have yet to find the time to try out its 3 course $25 lunch sets. But till then i shall continue to swing by this lovely cafe when my croissant cravings start a calling. The pictures seen here are from the website. Until i find the time to upload my photos, these shall have to suffice for now.
A Bientot & Bon Appetit !
