The French Pantry opens at 11:00 and when we got there at 11:30 the line was out the door. The inside is very small with just a handful of tables. They have three chalkboards as you enter the door that lists all of the dishes that they are serving for the day. The downside to that they only serve a certain amount of each item, so once it is gone, it is done for the day. This is because everything is homemade, including the bread. As you walk up to place your order you pass the amazing dessert case. I was a good girl I refrained from having dessert, but I will be back after Lent is over to have dessert. I took pictures of a few of the desserts that they offer.
White Cheesecake with Strawberries
The Napolean Cake
Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake
Tiramisu
After we placed our order we found a table that we shared with three other ladies and then they brought out the bread. Oh my...just the bread and the dipping sauce was amazing! Like I said above they make all of the bread homemade, and their dipping sauce was olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a mix of herbs and spices.
Now comes the main course. For lunch I ordered the Shrimp, Artichoke and Goat Cheese Bruschetta. I have only ever had the "generic bruschetta" which is the toasted bread slices with a mixture of tomatoes and herbs, but when I got my meal I was blown away. The bruschetta came with a greens mixture topped with marinated tomatoes and for some reason I felt like I needed to look at the dish and take it all in before I could take a bite.
All it took was one bite and I was hooked. I have never eaten a meal that has the flavor that this dish has. After I took the first bit I had to put the piece of bruschetta down and take the flavor in. There aren't any words to describe the taste of this meal besides AMAZING! If you are ever at the French Pantry this is a dish that is a must have! I will definitely be going back!
