Sublime! We stayed at Hotel Napoleon right down the block so we had many run ins with this fine bakery. We picked up their phenomenal restaurant baguettes and about ten of their phenomenal pastries to bring to a dinner party (of those ten our favorites were the lemon tart and the raspberry tart. But everything was really really great). Then the next day we bought provisions for a fabulous picnic lunch, overlooking Monaco. I had the tuna nicoise sandwich and a piece of the apricot tart. Both were really great. The bread is just unbeatable. It was crisp and doughy and slightly olive oiled. The fillings were as fresh as could be and very generous. However, that sandwich was monstrous. Wayyyyyy more than I could ever eat alone. My dad got the ham and cheese sandwich and my mom got the chicken and no one got remotely close to finishing. I would definitely purchase at least one sandwich less than members of your party. We had no trouble at all finishing the one tart we got to split. As you can see in the photo, it was a thing of grand beauty. The baked apricot was tart and sweet and juicy and the custard beneath it was soft and creamy, a perfect contrast to the crisp crunch of the base. read more
