Live! from Fabrice

Thanks SJ and Thanks Nancy! Rep for you for the pics.

SJ don't you have Fabrice pics posted somewhere?

They are posted somewhere on another Fabrice thread, and also in my photo album. Feel free to search and re-post here.

I really enjoyed the cookie monster sandwich. I would stop by more but I usually pass by too early or too late. I will make a deliberate effort this week, and I'll bring my newspaper to hide behind.

They also have the cutest little aluminum foil plates that would work great for the conspiracy nut who needs a Yamika.

:clap::lol::floor: you guys are cracking me UP. thanks.:wave:

They actually closed up around us, but only after making sure we had all that we needed.

4.5 hour lunches are new for me, but I am very accustomed to 4-5 hour breakfasts at Hibiscus. Actually, Kurt and I spent 3hours at Hibiscus for breakfast, prior to going to Fabrice for the working lunch.

you guys are spoiled absolutely rotten! almost as much as me.... 😀

I'm so addicted to their Nicoise Salad. Everything else always looks so good, but I can't pass up a chance to have the salad. I'm just going to have to start going two days in a row so I can try something different. Whatever that sandwich was that Kurt had looked yummy! Anyone know what it was?

I do have one complaint, though. They need more desserts without nuts! :blush:

Then I think you better pick that up.😀

Every time my oldest daughter flies in from Tulsa, we have to go straight to Fabrice for lunch. NO stopping anywhere else.

:rofl::rolling:

embalmed roast. how true!!!

I thought I might get more responses on this thread. Does anyone else like Fabrice?

I don't read the food threads. I'm on Prom Diet from [place that would get edited by the cussword Nazis :lol:]. Maybe I can go Saturday and get some of their oh-so-yummy food!

:breakcomp::cuss::cuss::breakcomp: I better get something better than embalmed roast beef on sunbeam toilet paper white bread tonight madam moderator:bang::bang:

I'm sure she will let you eat anything you pick up on the way home.

Yes, I always linger with friends after eating here. Car pool line unfortunately puts a cramp in my Fabrice style- I could sit there all afternoon!

Admit it, you just want to see my 😀smiling face😀 in the car pool line... I mean, parking spots reserved only for those that don't feel like waiting in the car pool line.:floor:

Do not miss the macaroons! They are the best I have had outside of Paris. Much better than mail-order from Payard in NYC, which has been my best option till Fabrice came along. The pistachio is heavenly!

Fabrice lovely way to start the day

SANTA ROSA BEACH - As we entered Fabrice Patissier and waited to be seated, I couldn?t help but peer around the corner of the display case to see the delightful array of pastries.

Macaroons, napoleons, cr?me brulee and madeleines, oh, my!

With the care and attention to detail apparent in these creations, I knew we were in for a treat.

The food
Whether you?re craving a leisurely breakfast or just coffee and a pastry, Fabrice begins serving at 7:30 a.m.

Savory crepes are served with ham and cheese along with scrambled eggs. Croissants are filled with ham and cheese or bacon and eggs. A homemade toasted brioche is served with bacon and scrambled eggs.

In addition to the mixed greens and fresh fruit served with many of the menu items, omelets are served with potatoes.

You may order a plain omelet, one with ham and cheese or a veggie omelet filled with portobello mushrooms, yellow squash, zucchini and roasted red bell pepper.

Lunch consists of sandwiches, salads and a quiche du jour.

Fabrice?s signature sandwiches are constructed on ciabatta bread.

The tuna burger is made with fresh yellowfin tuna seared medium rare. Both the tuna burger and the shrimp sandwich are dressed with fresh basil and aioli sauce rather than the usual tartar sauce.

Two classically French baked sandwiches are offered, the Croque Monsieur and the Croque Madam.

For the monsieur, slices of white bread are filled with b?chamel sauce, warm Gruyere cheese and Parisian ham. A sunny side up egg is added on top to complete the Corque Madam. tables inside with five stools along a counter ? but large windows and the soft cream color of the walls make the shop feel light and airy.

If it is a nice day, you have the option to eat outside. Yes, County Road 30A has its very own French sidewalk caf?, which on a beautiful October day can be a little bit of heaven.

The signature salads include a brie salad, Nicoise salad and a mixed field greens salad, all of which feature a homemade balsamic, olive oil and fresh basil dressing.

Sunday brunch highlights many of the breakfast and lunch menu items as well as eggs benedict, French toast, and smoke salmon feuillete (puff pastry).

Beverages include tea, lemonade, a selection of fruit juices, coffee, caf? au lait and chocolat chaud (hot chocolate). Soft drinks are Pepsi products.

Daily specials are written on the board over the sideboard in the dining area.

Take out orders are available and are picked up at the cash register, which is next to the display case. This is also where you pay your check, giving you ample time to peruse the day?s pastry selections for take-home.

The service
We visited during Sunday brunch and the shop was very busy, but we did feel welcome. We were seated quickly and our order was taken in an efficient manor. I enjoyed the ?bon appetit? when our meals were served.

A final taste
Treat yourself to breakfast or lunch, or just stop by for a croissant and coffee. You won?t be disappointed in this delightful addition to 30A.

talk about a romantic french birthday lunch today on the sidewalks of little france in watercolor. it was such a beautiful spring day. gorgeous food from shrimp sandwich to little macaroon cookie cake served by fabrice himself with a candle on top. a champagne toast and lemon tart. hours and hours of lunch with a few good friends just as it should be... :wub:

And you definitely deserve a fantastic birthday, Toots! I had the best almond croissant I ever had at Fabrice in April. It was tasting a little piece of heaven (though it was a pretty darn big croissant).
