Patisserie No. 3

Le Loir dans la Theiere

3, Rue Des Rosiers, 4th Arr.

Packed to the rim with Parisians alike, Dena, Julia and myself managed to snag one of the few remaining tables left in this happenin' joint in the Marais one rainy weekday. After throwing down our bags, coats and umbrellas by our chairs some bitch waitress (who never forgot once to leave our table without an extremely exaggerated, overly-dramatic eye roll) asked us what we wanted to eat. Easy as pie. The tart over there with the mile high mound of torched meringue. Yeah, that one. Sure, this place has a few goodies they are known for. Didn't care. I wanted that huge sucker that looked like something out of a cartoon. Yeah, it was good. The meringue topping wasn't too airy as many meringues do. The lemon layer was very very tart- which perfectly balanced the sweet, crumbly, buttery crust. No matter how bad my tummy hurt from how full I was, I still could not put the spoon down. Just too good. 

Patisserie Purchased: Tarte au Citron

Cost: 6€50

Warning: These people hate Americans. You could have found the cure to AIDS and they would still be the biggest condescending jerks to you. Get your slice of pie à-porter and get the hell out.
