Today Anne (My fellow intern) and I went out for some lunch at this great Lebanese place in old Nice. Now the restaurant Di Ya has some awesome Lebanese food, but I wanted to go to Emilies for some cheese cake. Emelies however had no more seating available, so Anne and I walked through the old town to find something else. That is when we stumbled across Le Coin Quotidien formerly the pain Quotidien.
This awesome place hadn't even been on my list of places I want to go, but I saw this HUGE meringue in the window so I really wanted to check it out. We went inside and we immediately had this feeling of being in our grandmas kitchen. We were seated at a table with other quests which is kind of their concept. Everybody is seated at big tables which gives this great familiar atmosphere. the waiter was really nice and we were able to order immediately.
I got a hot chocolate with marshmallow. Their hot chocolate is made with actual chocolate chips and is quite nice! Anne ordered earl grey tea which they serve in one of this tea web things that you put into your cup. Anne's tea didn't actually had any tea leaves in it which we found was quite funny. Sh*t happens right? The waiter was quick to get the tea so no harm no foul. Then I got the dessert du jour which was this little raspberry tartlet with vanilla whipped cream. It tasted as good as it looks! it's got the freshness from the raspberries and the awesome sweetness from the whipped cream.
I was disappointed that there wasn't any crème Pâtissiere under the raspberries which I am used to but I get why they didn't do that. It was perfect just the way it was! great balance of sweet sour and freshness. Don't get something like hot chocolate to drink when you get a dessert like that though because it gets way too sweet.
This place also does brunch on Saturday and sunday which looked absolutely amazing! And seeing as the place was full I would think very good as well.
