I have been back to Le Vinois several times for lunch and it's always a good experience. They have a daily special which is a sandwich with soup for $8.95. Without the soup, all of their sandwiches are $7.95 for a nice size sandwich or $4.95 for a half. Several of them come with brie cheese, but I actually prefer the 2 or 3 of them that come with swiss. They use fresh baked bread - my favorite is the multi-grain. The soups are usually very good as well, although a whole sandwich with a soup is sometimes too much food. Nice people here, and it's a good spot for lunch or to run in a grab something.
Review Source:Had a good experience visiting this bakery! Bought a yummy chocolate mini pie, ciabatta & cheese bread. I decided not to come in with any expectations after having a dissapointment w/ a French bakery in Boca.
I like the quality of the work & I look forward to more tasteful experiences w/ the food here. I would truly recommend this place to anyone!
I think I'm addicted to their almond croissants! So dangerous, but irresistibly delicious. I understand why it's their most popular dessert...
I tried their cream puff at first. For me, it lacked in sweetness and was a bit too airy. Not my thing... I wasn't sold on the almond croissant initially, but they were kind enough to let me try a sample. Â It's filled with some type of almond cream I think, which keeps it quite moist; the outside is a bit crispy, topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar. Love it!
I believe they offer a 2 for $5 deal for their danishes and croissants as well.
The ooonly complaint I'd have with this place is that most of their breads, pastries and desserts are kinda laying out with no sneeze guards or packaging for sanitation reasons. Plus a friend an I observed the lack of tongs when handling baked goods. Again, for sanitation purposes, they would be helpful...
All in all, a nice place for a quick lunch and French desserts so I WILL come back!
WOW. A find made at the Boca green market. A small storefronts action it really is designed for take out. Everything I've had from here has been baked perfectly. The owner/baker truly understands his art.
Quiche Lorraine and Provençal are so light and airy they almost float. Thankfully the wonderful pastry keeps them from doing do. The almond and chocolate croissants are as good as any I've ever had in France. The fruit tarts are beautiful though I prefer a custard base. The almond tends to overpower the fruit i believe.
I am very impressed also with the quality of the bread. Sourdough is lighter than I usually expect but the baguette is everything it should be. Great density and crust.
Service is rapid and very friendly.
A true gem of a place.
Open M-F Â from 7-6
Closed weekends as they are then out at green markets.
First time and actually, my girlfriend and I ended up here by accident! Though some say 'there are no accidents'.
Lunch on a Thursday with perfect weather. My friend ordered onion soup and half a turkey sandwich on fresh made bread. She said the soup was just ok, flavor was good but definitely could have been hotter. Her sandwich was fresh and high quality!
I ordered the fresh mozzarella, freshest tomato with Balsamic Vinegar on olive bread.
Freshest bread, perfectly combined ingredients...
What a gem!!!! Oooo la la!
Spinach/tomato/basil quiche with small salad, 12 oz. hot tea (tea brand: Bromley), Mixed fruit pastry, sales tax: $14.36
Quiche was absolutely delicious. not too salty, no ingredient overpowering another. However, the quiche was just a tad too moist. The small salad was romaine IIRC, chopped, with sliced tomatoes. The pastry was pretty good... had strawberry, blackberry, kiwi, thinly sliced apples, peach. I liked the taste but the pastry shell texture under the fruit was more like a cookie than like my preference (like that of a pie crust).
I'm definitely coming back.
UPDATE: Came back the last week in April '12, quiche had perfect moisture. Looking and tasting great!
