Max's Market

Rated this place:

For a special occasion I head to Max’s market. If I need dinner or just an accompaniment for friends coming over, we have always enjoyed whatever I have brought home. The free samples are great too! Definitely the place to go to pick up dessert to take to friends as they sell Dufflet pastries, and many other yummy treats. House warming, shower, or mother-in-law—they have gourmet food gifts for any special occasion.

Lemon tart

Rated this place:

I am always on the hunt for a good lemon tart, and this one meets the standards of a Parisian patisserie. It’s just the right amount of tartness to match a subtle sweetness, and the pastry is divine.

Baba ganoush, Ridiculously priced gourmet food shop

Rated this place:

It is the most delicious taste sensation I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. It is terribly expensive, but always worth it.

Every so often I can't help myself from splurging on some really delicious, ridiculously over-priced gourmet foods and I like to do it at Max's Market. I reccomend a nice wedge of Camembert, the chocolate French tart cookies and the cashew-stuffed dates. Also a great selection of salads and prepared foods when you're too lazy to make supper but want to eat something a little more shi-shi than ramen.
