Petit dejeuner - fresh baked croissants, pain au chocolat (still warm) plus these mad little brioche buns filled with a light custard and studded with sugar crystals. Also crispy baguette with stupidly good French butter and strawberry jam.
Dejeuner - tartare de boeuf (sloppy textured spicy oniony meaty goodness) with crunchy bread and wicked frites. Pint of Leffe blonde (on tap EVERYWHERE!!). Awesome.
Snack - vanilla jasmine tea, apricot and thyme clafoutis.
