The Good, The Bad, and The Yummy!
My first visit to Fleur de Lis. I went searching for a place with good food where I could also spend some time writing. I went to the Hancock Street location.
THE GOOD: The wait staff is very friendly and accommodating. Young, but helpful, efficient, and always with a smile. Great start. The food is good. I ordered a ham & cheese croissant, eggs, bacon, potatoes, and a cappuccino. My friend had coffee and a ham & cheese croissant. The coffee and cappuccino were good.
Because I was taking up space for a while, I also ordered lunch and coffee later on.
THE BAD: The croissants were cold. We were told that they just came out fresh (we'd arrived just when they opened at 8am), so we were a little surprised that the ham inside was ice-cold. But they were accommodating and heated them up. However, I'm not a fan of microwaved baked goods, so it was a little disappointing.
The other bad was that it was cold inside the place. I couldn't stay as long as I'd hoped, because my fingers and face were just too cold. Shame, because it's a nice venue with free wifi.
THE YUMMY: Except for the slight mishap with the croissant, which was good, all the food was great. My breakfast was good, then I ordered a ham and Gruyere sandwich followed by a lemon tart, all delicious.
Overall, I recommend this place (if they could turn up the heat a little). I will be back. I think price wise it was reasonable and easy to get to. They have a good selection of pastries and their other food options looked good too. Not a fancy menu, but simple and good.
