Had to wait while the table was being cleared. I had originally planned on the turkey and brie sandwich. The server suggested the turkey and green apple sandwich to me. I accepted the offer hesitantly as I have never had apples as part of a sandwich. Clearly I had my doubts. Pleased to note that the server was right: It was a great sandwich.

Pleased to note that the server was right: It was a great sandwich. Many simple flavours inside (some sort of chutney, turkey, apple slices, cheese) combined to make each bite refreshing AND unique. Never the same.. The apple really did help to add a great deal of refreshment. My only disappointment was that the apple was not de-skinned. Still, considering that the sandwich was toasted, it was all the more remarkable that the apple was crisp and light (not heated to the core --as the other ingredients were). The turkey was high quality seasoned (smoked?) breast meat - with little if any fat. Well done there!
Then on to dessert: The Vanelle is custard sandwiched between two thick wafers. Unfortunately, a puny, entirely insufficient plastic fork was provided. After getting nowhere with it, I literally took matters into my own hand and ate it, literally, as a sandwich. The vanilla custard was very creamy and very well balanced -- not too sweet or thick. The wafers had a light buttery taste, quite like croissants. The two went well together, but I did regret the absence of a REAL fork.
Other Info. :
Surprisingly good sandwiches. However, the pastry cost significantly more than the sandwich!! That was my big surprise of the day!
