one shot: Profiteroles at Cafe Rabelais

Even if you don’t like anything at Cafe Rabelais (I didn’t), this mini-mountain of profiteroles loaded with ice cream is still as resistible as a pool in the summer, and worth every second you spend with it too.

To top, it’s HUGE. THREE orange-size puffs, for only $6.50! We thought it was going to be just one cream puff, you know, like how desserts are usually portioned… but no, the pastry chef has a heart of gold. Next time I’m at Rive Village, I’ll swing by for a profiterole recharge. 😉

Sidney and the cream puffs. See how big this dessert is?

Now… a few more shots of Rabelais’ foods, but the menu varies daily and is only written on the blackboard so we might never see these dishes again:

Pate de campagne - meaty and well seasoned.

"Roasted leg of lamb with raspberry demi" - Well, I don't like the smell of lamb and this one hasn't changed that.

Lemon sole meuniere - too much lemongrass, lemon and salt, but so much more edible than the lamb.

Chocolate pie - basically the chocolate mousse on a nut crust.

“Fondant au Chocolat sur Croute de Noix” – basically the chocolate mousse on a nut crust.

By the way, the service is just plain negligence. But if you come only for the profiteroles, you won’t see the waitress enough to notice the service anyway. 😉
