Best croissants in Manila are from Le Couer de France. It’s the only place that reminds me of the croissants we had while wandering down the Champs Elysses or St. Germain neighborhoods. Try to have them newly baked as they have the ovens in the store. So Goood!
Also, the tiny “forest” strawberries you talk of are highly sought after and unique to the Catalans. It’s preferred over the U.S. and Japanese gargantuan berries as it’s more packed with flavor.

Anyone have an idea where to get the best croissants in Manila? Or is that like asking for fresh buko juice in Paris?

I also treasure breakfasts when I’m on vacation. That’s a particularly eye-catching photo of croissants and berries, MM. Now I’m craving croissants.

Your breakfast sounds superb..I on the other hand just had a bowl of oatmeal with ground flax seed so am very, very jealous. Might have to treat myself to some croissants and a pain au chocolat this week. Am also very happy because I saw some fresh rasberries and blueberries in Rustan’s this week..ah the simple pleasures!
