Pain au Jambon
Thursday, September 07, 2006
Why settle for an imitation of this classic -- a fast-food "breakfast sandwich" -- when you can have the real thing? Pain au jambon for $2.95 -- is a meal in itself. Tartine pastry is the epitome of flakiness, the gruyere is tangy, and the ham smoky and slightly sweet.
Of course that is just one of many items from their menu. Regular croissants, quiche, bread pudding, scones, morning buns, pain au chocolate, and museli. Just a few of the items there. Lots of pressed sandwiches too.
Those are just some of the savory items. For sweets ... don't even get me started. Two of them are irresistable: their eclairs and the lemon-meringue cake.
Has anyone been to their restaurant on Valencia Street?
