Pop into this Thornton Park outpost for a petit déjeuner before work or a morning stroll around the neighborhood or nearby Lake Eola. Fresh pastries, croissants and baguettes baked on premises accompany coffee or, later in the day, an array of salads and sandwiches from the simple Le Parisien (Swiss cheese and butter) to the lavish Le St. Tropez (smoked salmon with dill-lemon crème). Quiches, of course, make more than an appearance. Try the familiar Lorraine or venture into something new, perhaps the La Montagne, with chicken breast or bacon accompanying confit onion, nutmeg sauce and goat cheese. Tarts, flans, macarons and more round out the menu – and perhaps your midsection.
