Enjoying the Best Croissants In The World

The next morning, I made my way to Lune Croissanterie for breakfast.  I had heard that the New York Times called their croissants the best in the world, so I knew I had to give them a try.  I arrived to see a lineup of about 20 people in front of me.  However, it moved quite quickly and I was inside within 10 minutes. 

Instead of having a menu on a board, they had all of the available croissants laid out on the counter and you pick whichever one is most appealing to you.  I decided to try their traditional, almond and ham & gruyere croissants.  To be honest, the traditional was quite plain and if I was judging it on that one alone, I’m not sure that I would agree that it’s anywhere close to being the world’s best.

I would very rarely pick an almond croissant but wanted to try it after hearing good things about it.  To my surprise, I liked it better than the traditional.  There are a ton of almonds packed into this croissant and there’s also some sort of sweet filling on the inside that made the whole thing very enjoyable.

My favourite by far was the ham & gruyere croissant.  I should have known I would like this one the most, since I always prefer savoury over sweet, but after having this one, I wish I hadn’t wasted my calories on the traditional, so that I could have 2 of these instead!

I thoroughly enjoyed the croissants, but at almost $40AUD for 3 croissants and a coffee, it is definitely not an everyday type of meal.
