M.A. and I were cruising through lovely Juno Beach the other morning looking for a place for a quick bit to eat when fate stepped in with a fortuitous red light. There we noticed a little bistro called Paris in Town that was beckoning to us from it's perch on the corner of an otherwise nondescript strip mall. We turned right in and went inside.\r
\r
Immediately we were struck by the light breezy decor. Lacey curtains and high ceilings bring about a feeling of openness and a mix of eclectic mismatched tables and chairs in a small dining area really add an authentic Parisian touch. The floors are wide plank hardwood that look to be like something taken off an old sailing vessel. For a more continental clientèle, there are a small number of modern bar height tables with stools. \r

We were immediately seated and professionally serviced by a young lady with a thick French accent who, only because she was so sweet and professional, inadvertently shattered the impression of actually being in Paris (anyone who has ever been there would never use the words "polite" and "waitress" in the same sentence). \r
\r
We ordered lattes and sandwiches from an impressive menu of authentic offerings. I went with the croissant stuffed with mushroom, spinach and egg to which I added some red onion. It was delightful! M.A. had the salmon and cream cheese toasted on French bread with capers. We devoured our sandwiches and treated ourselves to an éclair that was perfect. \r

We left very happy and look forward to returning soon. One thing to note, their hours do tend to change with the seasons so be sure be sure to check before you go.
