Douceur de France: A Taste of France in Marietta, GA

September 16, 2020 /

To celebrate our September birthdays, my friend and I decided to have lunch at Douceur de France in Marietta, GA. There is a sister store in Roswell,GA which I have frequented more but this location is now closer to me. I have been several times for breakfast treats and lunch too and have some favorites. Some of the breakfast pastries compare to ones in France and others I pass on as not to be disappointed. My favorite is the pain aux raisins which is always nice and moist (it is a spiral flaky pastry with raisins) and compare to ones in France.

As far as lunch, I chose my favorite, Tartine Corse with is an open face sandwich with goat cheese, tomatoes and walnuts served over a delicious simple salad. My friend and I decided that we need to eat more salad. She had a quiche du jour with zucchini and swiss with a caesar salad. We both loved our meals.

For dessert, we shared a slice of Napoleon or Mille Feuille which was very tasty too! We ate indoors as it was pretty hot out and tables were nicely spaced.

One of the things that I like about Douceur de France is that is is a bakery, a restaurant as well as a little store. I can find my favorite dijon mustard, the boys favorite syrop and a myriad of other French treats.

The parking lot was full but our wait was not too long. We had time to choose some pastries to take home before we were walked to our table.

The funny thing is that I had not been here for a year but I have come about 4 times in the last 3 weeks: that is not good for my wallet but we do have lots of celebrations in September. Lunch is actually very affortable, my plate was less than $10 but when I buy pastries or viennoiseries (croissants…), it adds quickly with 4 kids and all the tempting things!

I am actually glad I don’t live any closer but this does also inspire me to try a few new recipes in the next couple of months. Tomato basil soup? Yes. I also want to try a new homemade vinaigrette recipe and get back to eating more salads!

I hope you enjoyed this little trip to France in Marietta! Hungry yet?

A bientôt!
