Let's be honest, Delhi is a city overflowing with culinary delights. But when a new spot promises to elevate the humble pie to an art form, I couldn't resist giving it a try. So, picture this: a crisp Sunday evening, the city lights twinkling, and me, eagerly heading towards the much-hyped La Croute in Sunder Nagar.
Stepping into La Croute is akin to entering a warm embrace. The cafe's rustic charm is undeniable, with whitewashed walls adorned with whimsical artwork. The star of the show, though, is undeniably the open kitchen.
Here, behind a sparkling glass window, the magic happens. We watched with fascination as the bakers, led by the passionate Ipsa herself, meticulously handcrafted each pie - a symphony of flour, butter, and love. Witnessing this dedication instantly upped the anticipation for our meal.

The flaky, golden crust shattered perfectly, giving way to a creamy, perfectly seasoned filling chock-full of juicy chicken and earthy mushrooms. It was the kind of comfort food that makes you sigh with contentment. But La Croute isn't just about pies, although it's hard not to be tempted by their endless variety.
We also indulged in the Smoked Salmon on Pumpernickel with Cream Cheese . .
