Traditional versus modern Croissant — which wins?
I've now had Croissant prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises butter in the way French cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The rich and refined character is more pronounced and direct.

Ingredient appreciation — what makes Croissant special
What sets Croissant apart is the handling of thyme. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the buttery and aromatic result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Spice level warning — Croissant is not what I expected
I underestimated Croissant. The buttery and aromatic description didn't prepare me for the reality. shallots brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

Comparing Croissant across three restaurants — an honest verdict
I ate Croissant at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of Dijon mustard varied significantly — only one got it right. The rich and refined profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely.
