Le Moulin de Provence

This bakery in Ottawa's Byward Market is an internet celebrity because Obama visited it during his official visit [wink]. The shop displays videos and photos of Obama, and some of the cookies are named Obama cookies; there are many varieties, and they are all very good-looking [thumbs-up]. I bought a few desserts and tried them, and they were really good [thumbs-up] Especially the almond scones, which are very crispy and crunchy, with a strong almond flavor. They are the best I have ever eaten.

There are a lot of food options, both French bread and American cookies, and I was only able to try some of them, but they were not as good as I would expect from French bread or American pastries.

【Location】 There is a paid parking lot opposite the entrance of Byward Market, which costs 3 yuan for 2 hours. 【Environment】 There are photos of Obama everywhere. The store is a bit old and the environment is average. 【Service】 The clerk speaks French and English, and his attitude is average. It is probably because he has no problem selling things. Tax is added to the price, and no tip is required for takeout. 【Food】 The maple leaf cookies that Obama ate are now called Obama cookies. They are 4.58 yuan each, and the iron box is sold for 6.95 yuan each, which is quite expensive. The clerk just put the cookies in the box and left it there. There was no filling. The cookies were shaking in the box. After walking a few steps to get in the car, the icing fell off a corner, so I had to fill it with napkins myself. Small dinner rolls, 1 yuan each, taste good.

The dishes are very rich, the appearance is good, and there is a lot of meat. It is suitable for dinner with friends. I ate too much.

The food here is not that delicious, but the location is great, with a lot of people coming and going, so it must have a lot of customers, but there is no need to come here specially.
