Website: N/A
Meal: lunch
My thoughts:
I had the steak and mushroom pot pie, and my friend a vegetarian baguette (not on their menu and specially made for my vegan friend). The pie was delicious! The pastry, which was very light and flaky, was decidedly the best part, and the filling was actually packed with good-quality steak and mushrooms (rather than liquid).
On a similar note, my friend really enjoyed his baguette, which he said was packful of vegetables, as the picture below shows:
We also each had a latte. I found my latte to be not very well-blended (see first of two pictures below). To be more specific, the foam topping droplets of espresso, which was very bitter (it would have been a different story if they'd at least made the shape of a heart, lol). The remainder of my coffee was rather dilute.
But whatever, they were very accommodating towards my friend, and the pie more than made up for the sub-par coffee. Bottom line: I will return to try their chicken pot pie next time! On a different note, I loved the colourful pastries they had on display, as well as the European flair in the decor/lighting. (I wish I'd taken a picture of the restaurant.) Friendly, helpful staff.
