#CAFE AMADINE MOVIE#
“Seems I was meant to be with a French guy.”Īs far as the movie component of her story goes, Amandine’s journey has elements of Green Card (with Gerard Depardieu), with a touch of Pixar’s Ratatouille and the culinary film Chef.
“I’m 18,000km from home and I meet up with another French guy,” says Amandine, Crave cafe’s manager. That relationship ended after they’d been in New Zealand for five years, and just a short while later Amandine, at the time a single mother of one-year-old Leah, rekindled an old friendship and ended up falling in love with someone who was also, yes, French. The romance is straightforward enough too. Amandine lived in Lyon until she was 27 and made the move to New Zealand with her partner because they were tired of France and ready for new pastures. The French thing is straightforward enough. Pre-orders must be placed 48 hours before pickup, via their online ordering page.There’s something of the French romance movie about Amandine Brisson-Bodio’s journey from Lyon to Morningside. Lou The French On The Block is open Friday through Sunday 8:00 a.m. Restaurant Info: Lou The French On The Block is located at 4007 Riverside Drive, Burbank, CA 91505. Street parking is not so bad in the area for a morning, perhaps lunchtime gets a little more challenging, so be prepared to walk a bit, depending on when you visit. Pack your patience and relax, Lou The French On The Block is worth the minor wait. People waiting in line are friendly and California chill, our favorite type of people.įor absolutely excellent pastries and breakfast/brunch offerings, along with a friendly atmosphere and convenient pre-order options, Lou The French On The Block earns a Tops In Town. Many locals use those, adding to the convivial neighborhood cafe atmosphere. There are a few tables and chairs that are set out on the sidewalk on the days Lou The French On The Block is open. We only had to wait 10-15 minutes for the staff to assemble our order after we walked up to the ordering table with our pre-order number. There’s a number of other French pastries and tartes to try.īecause we are people who go to lengths to avoid lines, the pre-order option is a boon for us. And, we’ve got to try the coffees and hot chocolate. We will definitely be ordering a whole quiche and side salad with mustard dressing to go for a home brunch, in the very near future. Pastries from Lou The French On The Block: (left to right, clockwise) Pear/Almond Amandine Poire, Mixed Berry Danish, Lemon Tartelette. We like to slightly heat up the pastries before eating at home, as they are generally served chilled or room temperature, for the to-go orders. There wasn’t a bad bite in the entire batch.
Not overly sweet, the pastries can uniformly be described as airy, delicate, flaky, buttery, with an appropriate amount of flavor from the fruit, the chocolate or the nuts. Lou The French On The Block stands up to the hype and exceeds expectations. Every pastry was perfectly made, balanced, light, fresh and flavorful. We ordered a large sampling of the pastry menu for a recent Sunday morning pickup.
