I ordered the croque monsieur and I have to say, I have never been so full from a meal before. It was absolutely delicious and definitely meant for two people. Just like everything else in the restaurant, the portions were huge. It reminded me of the American portion size. I also tried the cronut in New York and had a similar reaction - I couldn't eat anything else for the rest of the day. It's definitely worth the extra calories, even if it means spending a year at the gym to burn them off.

During a recent trip to London, my Australian friends and I stumbled upon this charming bakery on a rainy, chilly day. Seeking refuge from the damp weather, we enjoyed a pot of tea along with some delicious croissants. The cozy bakery was filled with the aroma of freshly baked French pastries, making it the perfect spot to spend the afternoon. We ended our day with a comforting bowl of pumpkin and chili soup topped with feta and parmesan croutons. This hidden gem in London made our visit even more enjoyable. I love the city of London.
