Classic French bistro in CT?
Absolutely.
Also home to a truly excellent sandwich.
Croque Madame
This French sandwich is a ham and cheese sandwich, topped with cheese, then baked.
What changes it from a Croque Monsieur to a Croque Madame is an over easy egg on top.
It’s wonderful.
When baked, the cheese on top gets nice and crispy, which adds a level of flavor.
You know when you are making a grilled cheese and some cheese drips out of the side and gets crispy on the pan?
Imagine that but as a whole slice on top.
The over easy egg adds a level of richness that is absolutely necessary.
Available at lunch only.
