Gregoire's


First of all, I'd like to wish everyone a great new year with the hopes of achieving whatever one sets his/her mind to. Now, back on track to some more fooding. One of the most unique (and slightly on the expensive side) to-go places I've tried during College is Gregoire's. This place can be easily missed since it's such a tiny shop. I'm a huge fan of the quality and taste of their food. Typical orders such as the infamous potato puffs are made perfectly, with a soft mash potato center and crisp shell that induces random cravings from time to time. Fortunately, side orders and desserts tend to stay on the menu consistently, but changes are made monthly for the main entrees. Lunch generally consist of three different kinds of sandwiches, which tend to be succulent. Dinner normally features a chunk of meat (chicken, duck, pork, beef, lamb) usually served by itself or in some intricate presentation with a small portion of veggies. Some times, the food can be a bit salty, but from my experience with French cuisine, itquite common. The price can be a bit steep for the wallet. If one chooses to dine here, one is guaranteed to spend at least $15 for lunch and $20 for dinner. Seating is a bit difficult as there are only two small tables in front of the tiny shop. I generally eat around the Imperial Tea Court, where there is ample outdoor seating. Overall, Gregoire's may be pricy but the food is worthwhile.
