If you're in the mood for some sophisticated & gourmet cuisine on the go, then you're in for a treat! Despite being tiny, this place is an absolute gem. We tried a few things & were impressed.

J'ai eu la chance de pouvoir faire un passage au comptoir de chezboulay ! Malheureusement pour moi (& les nombreux clients passant la porte), les étales étaient vides (Heure du midi)! Les pâtisseries restantes étaient libre-service, ce qui m'a laissé perplexe au niveau de l'hygiène, surtout avec la covid (Même si des pinces sont à disposition de la clientèle, elles sont à l'air libre, sans aucune "protection").

L'offre tournée vers le cassis limitait un peu plus mes options (allergies), les croissants à la courge étaient trop grillés (raison pour laquelle je n'ai pas choisi cette pâtisserie, car je suis fan de ces saveurs), mais ce croissant chômeur avait tout pour plaire & séduire mes papilles!

Feuilleté & avec une douce arôme d'érable, on savoure la simplicité qui n'a pas à rougir d'embarassement, car cette pâtisserie est superbe! Juste assez sucré! Petit bémol, son coeur était complètement vide!

Je regrette de ne pas avoir pu mettre la main sur le grand format (& un centre moins...aérien) & de ne pas avoir saisit ma chance de m'offrir un article de la bannière de ce restaurant/comptoir!

Une excuse pour revenir!

Croisons les doigts pour que les étales soient pleines & que ma gourmandise rende le choix aussi déchirants qu'à l'habitude! Vivement mon retour à Québec
