A fan of the various Petite Provence restaurants in and around Portland, I was thrilled to discover one in The Dalles. Whether you want an excellent cup of coffee, a legit croissant or delicious desert, or a satisfying meal, you can get it all right here. Oh, and they offer Bloody Mary and Mimosa flights!
The Monte Crisco sandwich is a hearty lunch! The hame and cheese sandwiches between two slices of bread, dipped in egg, fried and dusted with powdered sugar. Yum!
Their scrambles are also fabulous and they come with a side of toast or croissant, which is what I always choose. Buttery and crisp on the outside, light and fluffy inside, they are legit. As good as croissants I've had in France and I don't offer that compliment lightly.
The French onion soup is to die for! The Greek salad with grilled chicken, fresh and crisp, is alway satisfying. The quiche is baked perfectly and so delicious served with a side of greens. I could go on and on!
Highly recommendation picking up bread, pastries and desert to go. The fig walnut loaf is my favorite of the breads. For pastries I like the flower shaped croissant with sweet strawberries in the center. And for dessert, the chocolate ganache covered mini Opera Cake always satisfies.
The cafe is small and has the quaint French charm with black & cream drapes and rattan chairs. With warm and inviting service to match!
Located downtown, this is where you should stop if you are passing through The Dalles. And if I lived here, this would be my weekly brunch and treat spot!
