Le Pain Quotidien: A Sweet Meal

I spent Thanksgiving 2011 at a friend's house in Connecticut. Because our friendship strengthened as a result of our mutual love of food, we naturally went to lots of delicious eateries and restaurants. We went to a chain cafe/bakery, Le Pain Quotidien, where I ordered the most delicious tartini (open faced sandwiches): Ricotta with mission figs, black pepper & organic acacia honey.

Not only did the dish have a great presentation, but it was also so tasty! Every bite of the four triangular pieces left me wanting for more. The sweetness of the fig, the drizzled honey, and the ricotta cheese salad fared perfectly with the tomatoes and the rustic bread. Yes, I am lactose intolerant and my stomach boggles whenever I eat cheese, but I am willing to sacrifice my upset stomach for this delicious tartini any time!

My compatriots had the Smoked Salmon & Scallion Omelettes and the Paris Ham & Gruyère Omelettes, which I am sure were equally as fantastic.


In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we ordered a slice of pumpkin pie to share. The crust, which I always take apart since it's usually too buttery and greasy, was the highlight. It had just the right amount of crunch and softness, if that makes sense. The pumpkin puree wasn't overly sweet and I could actually taste the hint of pumpkin. An excellent way to top off a delicious meal.

Audrey's friend's mom got berry tarts and lemon tarts, but I didn't eat them. I personally don't really like tarts though.
