I was debating whether to put these entries in this thread or the Breakfast one. We finally made it to Le Conciliabule and we also tried a couple of things from The Black Pony. While everything at the former was excellent, the baking from The Black Pony was also very enjoyable.
Two breakfast items from The Black Pony:
- Dijon cheddar onion croissant - dijon and caramelized onion core with white cheddar inside and out - very good, great onion-cheddar flavour combo.
- Breakfast pastry - runny egg on bacon and goat cheese, topped with a small tomato slice - very tasty; pastry square very flaky on the edges, although a bit denser in the centre.
Then on to Le Conciliabule:
Triple cheese croissant - brie, cheddar, and Swiss, butter and poppy seeds on the outside, with slice sweet pickles - flaky, buttery, and very cheesy.
- Raspberry croissant - raspberry pastry woven into the croissant with wonderful chunky raspberry jam (not too sweet) inside, still had some snap on the outside.
- Pistachio croissant - delicious, not too sweet, ground pistachio filling with lots of chunks on top, denser overall.
- Canelé - a great version, slightly crisp on the outside and custardy inside.
- Ham and Swiss quiche - spectacular, light, creamy, great-tasting ham.
- Broccoli and cheddar quiche - very nice, although the cheddar was not noticeable.
- Pâté en croûte - lovely, with cranberries and pistachios.
- Raspberry tart - with custard, extra amazing.
- Plum tart - delicious, nice hints of tartness from the plum skins.
