Pairing Croissant correctly — a note on baguette
Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Croissant. I ordered it with baguette and the deeply layered elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. cream in particular became more prominent in a good way.
French cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The a brasserie lunch is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Croissant with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
