Say you’re famished and moseying around looking for a sandwich. The deli’s a suitable choice, but you’re in the mood for something more exciting. Subway’s not exciting, but it’s reliable, and they have those Baked Lays near the counter which you can never resist. But, no, even Baked Lays won’t do it today, because you want… well what is it you want, stomach? Something like this?
Yes. That’ll work.
Le Moulin’s grilled salmon with tomato, cucumber, and dill aioli on pumpernickel. Those are big chunks of fresh salmon and I speed-ate that sandwich like Joey Chestnut polishing off a hot dog.
I also poked around the rest of the quaint little cafe. There’s a nice selection of coffees and teas, and the counter along the window makes an ideal spot for sipping and people watching.
Le Moulin’s main business is high-end catering, but in the cafe they serve freshly prepared items along with their gourmet sandwiches and paninis — all of which sounded great by the way; Prosciutto di Parma with tomato and goat cheese? Yes please.
On the way out I picked up a flyer for Le Moulin’s French language and cooking classes. The flyer says, “Please indicate your current level of proficiency in French conversation.” Uh, that’d be zero, unless you count words that pertain to the Tour de France. Maybe I can be like Remy in Ratatouille and cook but not speak.
