Yes, I know that we’ve been here before, and written about it before. But it’s so good, that it needs writing about again. We were on our way to the very beautiful Musée de l’Orangerie this afternoon when we took a detour and took the M12 Metro line all the way to the Pasteur stop [...]

Thomas Haas (Kitsilano) – Vancouver, BC

Amazing. Not only does he produce the best pastries that I have had in North America – and better than many I have had in France, but he has replicated his business in North Vancouver and opened a Kitsilano branch. He will be busy. Saturday morning – about 11:30 (late start) – we pick up [...]

Xurreria – Barrio Gotic, Banys Nous – Barcelona
October 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Baked Goods, Cheap Eats, barcelona
So – after reading a blog about churros – we hunted down the Xurreria (the Catalan spelling of churreria) on Banys Nous in the Bario Gotic (I don’t know the exact address but it is a few doors down from a milk bar called La Granja (c/ Banys Nous 4, Gotico)). Twice we went by [...]

Bubo – Barcelona

This is one of the best patisseries in Spain and can hold its own around the world. In fact, it is famous for the world’s best chocolate cake, an award that pastry chef Carles Mampel won a few years ago. Try the chocolate cake or for that matter any of the other beautifully presented desserts [...]

Flour Bakery – Farnsworth Street – Boston, MA

Bakeries occupy this special place in my heart – the good ones are run by people who love food, who put that love into what they do, and produce an exceptional product that just makes you happy. Flour is this kind of a place. Sunday morning – pouring rain and blowing wind, I was going [...]

Sweet Cherubim Bakery and Restaurant – Vancouver – Commercial Drive
July 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Asian, Baked Goods, Inexpensive, Kid-friendly, Vancouver, Vegetarian, dessert
Head over to Commercial drive if you need your fix of tasty vegetarian/vegan cuisine. Don’t expect a chic restaurant – this is more of a cafeteria-style affair with a dessert/bakery display case out front and a hot table with a lot of dishes that have an indian or asian bent to them with many lentil [...]

Urban Herbivore – Toronto – Kensington Market
June 11th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Baked Goods, Cheap Eats, Favorites, Inexpensive, Toronto
This is a popular totally vegan restaurant in the heart of Kensington. I remember when it first opened as a tiny storefront with a few seats which soon expanded into the building next door. I have a strange addiction to their muffins – which have a nice crusty top and are tasty but with a [...]
