Mamie Clafoutis

An outpost of this favored bakery opened recently near me on St-Denis so I had to go try a few of their offerings. Within just 2 visits I can tell this place will be part of my waistline next summer.


On the first visit I tried their plain croissant which had an incredible taste as though they sprayed some liquid sugar on the crust. Another friend found them uncooked however so I don't know. It still doesn't replace Fous Desserts' as my favorite in town. I also had the Tarte Tatin which had very good caramelized apple slices but the crust was somewhat bland.


On the second visit I tried the "cake" with salted caramel. It felt like a powdery pound cake but I really enjoyed it. The caramel wasn't salty at all though.I also had the "Ficelle Bleye" which is like ArHoMa's blue cheese baguette except the cheese was baked thru the entire bread as opposed to be just on the top and there were walnuts in it too. This made it a very satisfying light meal on its own.
