European Pastries in Salt Lake - Gourmandise the Bakery

I don't know about you, but for me there's nothing like a freshly made pastry and espresso for breakfast. It's a special event at Gourmandise (which means a taste for fine food in French) where the options are almost unlimited. With choices that include croissants, eclairs, European style breads, muffins and cookies, I find it very hard to decide.

Gourmandise was voted Salt Lake's best pastries by City Weekly and City Search, also the "Best Quick Fix for Happiness", and I have to admit I agree. With decadent dessert, breakfast, lunch, dinner and a kid's menu there's something to make everyone happy. They also offer two things that are high on my list: outdoor dining and free internet. I tried them first because they had a great offer on citydeals.com for a discounted gift certificate and I haven't stopped dropping in.

As I write this I find myself so full of today's special panini that I just don't have room for dessert — I think I'll have to take one to go . . .

Gourmandise is located at: 250 South 300 East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 • Phone: 801.328.3330

  3. I just had lunch there - the trio combo was huge and del.icio.us! While I was standing at the pastry display the man in front of me said "This should be illegal." Too true!
