I recently visited Parisien Gourmandises in La Jolla, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped into the charming café, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service.
I decided to try their smoked salmon sandwich, and I was not disappointed. The sandwich was a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The smoked salmon was fresh and tender, complemented by a medley of ingredients that elevated the overall taste. It was a mouthwatering treat that left me wanting more.
To accompany my meal, I ordered both an ice coffee latte and a hot coffee latte. Both beverages were expertly crafted, showcasing the barista's skill and attention to detail. The ice coffee latte was refreshing and invigorating, providing a cool respite on a warm day. The hot coffee latte, on the other hand, was rich and aromatic, delivering a comforting and satisfying experience. The quality of the coffee truly impressed me.
As if that wasn't enough, I couldn't resist indulging in a chocolate croissant. It was a little piece of heaven. The croissant was perfectly baked, with a flaky exterior and a luscious, chocolatey filling. Each bite was a decadent delight, and I savored every moment.
Aside from the outstanding food and beverages, the service at Parisien Gourmandises was top-notch. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made sure that every aspect of my visit was enjoyable, and their genuine passion for their craft was evident.
In conclusion, Parisien Gourmandises in La Jolla is a hidden gem that offers a true taste of Paris. The smoked salmon sandwich, ice coffee latte, hot coffee latte, and chocolate croissant all exceeded my expectations. The combination of excellent cuisine, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere makes this café a must-visit for any food enthusiast. I highly recommend it, and I cannot wait to return for another...
Read moreCette expérience!! tout est divin! I love, love this place, my wife and I love traveling for the good flavors, sevice and places. We love to give honor who deserves it. In this place my wife and I fell in love with all the things we ate. For starters we had the Quiche (mushroom & spinach), the crust was done right, there was no soggy bottoms and the mushrooms and spinach combined were magnificent, the combination of both flavors together with the Crust tasted amazing! I have eaten quiches many times in my life here in the USA and when traveling to France. The flavors brought me back to when my wife and I were in France with a big touch of love! The next thing we ate was a Peach Danish and the flaky, crunchy crust were so light yet perfect! the peaches were sweet and not over powering, the flaky dough held perfectly to the custard and fresh peaches, they crunch a bit as I was eating them. The ligh golden brown dough made it so special and fun to eat. Eating the Nutella danish was just as well, the dough made it the especial vehicle to transport the yummy nutella combined with the custard and nutella on top of it, they danish just felt right and it was an awesome treat to have an eat. If there were more than 5 starts to give I would give them 100!! The service was super nice, helpful, kind and they right away helped us and showed us what was in avaible at the moment. My wife and I met Annie and she was a delight to meet, she was so helful like her staff and very caring. We are plannig to tell all our friends and family about the aweome exoerience we had in this beautiful place! We are coming back to get more of the delicious food in the menu! If you are in for something classy and especially appetizing, with great presentation and out of the norm, check out this...
Read moreWe had the best experience catering with Parisien Gourmandises! I've worked with a lot of caterers under a number of different circumstances and Parisien truly stands out. I would strongly recommend and will certainly plan to work with them at the next opportunity.
Annie and Jonathan and their team are terrific, they are so great to work with. Right from the start they were easy to reach, quick to respond and Jonathan volunteered his personal cell phone number so that we could make plans for our baby naming over the holiday weekend. We were initially planning to use another caterer which fell through just days before our event, and when I reached out to Parisien, they turned it around on very short notice. The food was top-notch and presentation was gorgeous, so many guests asked who had done the catering. They went above and beyond in helping us design our menu, determine what would be right for our guests for the time of day, and equally important telling us what they thought might be too much to order even though of course that's better for their business. Annie is such a professional, pleasant to speak with and works beautifully under pressure making sure that everything is perfect no matter how much she has on her plate.
We had a brunch menu: freshly made bagels and lox, cream cheeses, quiches, fruit platters and beautiful macaroons, fresh-squeezed orange juice and coffee - everything had a gourmet touch and was a cut above what one might find anywhere else...
