La Galette — Restaurant in Nedlands

3.5 stars Venue: park at street. Small cafe. Around 4 tables outdoor. 5-6 small tables indoor. Cozy French decorations with lovely background music. Relaxing. --- 7.5/10 Service: friendly. Normal waiting time. Tap water is available at the entrance. Our dishes went to the wrong table at first. The kitchen lady came out again to remind the young guy the correct table. --- 6.7/10 Wide selections of drinks, consider individual's preference. Food: simple cafe menu: French classic, galette, soup, baguette rolls and salad. Good presentation. Reasonable price. Smoked Salmon Galette, $18: all galettes sre made of buckwheat flour. Quite smooth. Well- Cooked. This one is attractive presented, like a bouquet. Not enough dill-seasoned cream cheese. Salmon could be rolled up better.--- 7/10 French Onion Soup, $10.8: served with 4 croutons and grated cheese at side. Not an usual presentation. Texture of soup was not thick. Few onion slices in the clear soup. Taste was good. Croutons were very good. --- 7/10 Parisien Baguette Roll, $10.5: served rather cold. Baguette was still crispy. Hot Chocolate, $5/regular: not bland. My friend told palmiers were very yummy. We didn't see any palmiers. Must try their croissants and...

I stopped by on a Sunday morning and it was quite full. The dining area inside isn't to big and they did have some tables outside. There is a fair bit of street parking nearby which is nice. Most of the tables were occupied but I was fortunately heading there to grab some treats for takeaway. They have their drinks menu on the blackboard behind the counter. I'm not sure if they had a menu as I went straight for the cabinet full of treats. There were also some pastries located by the counter but they had run out of almond croissants that morning. I grabbed a few things to try. I really liked the French vanilla slice since it was pretty much a millefeuille. Their eclair was also quite nice, as was the strawberry tart. The quiche lorraine and croissant weren't bad too. The food here is quite nice and you probably won't go wrong with what you grab. It makes sense as to why they were busy...

After an appointment and rushing between drizzling rain ☔ I popped into La Galette with latte and something integrally french to eat on my mind.

The Latte just as I like came to my table but my choice of Almond croissant 🥐 well had me floored instead of an Pate d'amande through the center whoever the Pâtissièr was filled it with almond flavoured Crème Pâtissière, interesting 🤔 though it was, messy it became. Apparently a good though to my taste and expectation, flawed concept.

As for a French Pâtissière cafe with croissants (the actual taste and consistency of the baked item without its filling was great), expressed by name and facade as being traditional French come "La Ville Lumièr" (Parisian) in its nature, it's a shame a bowel 🍲 of coffee to dip ones plain or otherwise, croissant 🥐 is missing from their menu. Hopefully a missed opertunity to...
