It was the perfect spot for a girly lunch. Who can resist a crepe? My aunt was in town for Easter and suggested that we peel away from the large group for a couple of hours and have lunch.
With my mom and her sister in the car, I headed toward our favorite place for lunch in Palm Beach Gardens: Paris in Town, located at Downtown at the Gardens. This lovely little bistro has outdoor seating and we chose a table with a nice breeze in the shade.
Look at our magnificent lunch! They chose French Onion soup and a Quiche Lorraine, each with a small salad, and I had a Ham & Swiss crepe. Ooh la la, as they say.
Paris in Town is a quiet restaurant with a menu full of your French favorites. I often suggest it when I want a cafe au lait and something wonderfully sweet in the afternoon.
My cousin came to the area for the first time in years and when she called, she said she found a cute place that I had to try. It was Paris in Town's other location called the cafe on US1 and PGA Blvd. I told her she had found a gem.
My aunt and I went on a shopping jaunt to Sur La Table and Swoozies at "Downtown at the Gardens" with the thought that we would stop somewhere for a coffee afterwards.
We certainly chose the right place. We sat at a table in the shade and shared this beautiful Lemon Meringue Tart with our cappuccinos at Paris in Town.
If someone ever suggests a trip to Gelato Grotto, say "Yes!"
We spent a hot and sunny afternoon walking around Palm Beach and then treated ourselves to a triple serving! After careful consideration (and tiny tastes), I chose three light as air flavors: pineapple, dark chocolate and pistachio. I also talked the girl into giving me a tuft of coconut gelato on top.
My-oh-my, I loved it! Made fresh daily, gelato is a frozen Italian dessert - cold and creamy, but with far less fat than traditional ice cream. Buona notte!
