Lemon Tart: A Lesson in Restraint

Eclairs French Cafe and Bakery Lemon Tart: A Lesson in Restraint

Our lemon curd is lemon, eggs, butter, sugar. That's it. We cook it gently until it coats a spoon, then strain it, then chill it.

The sablé crust gets the same care, buttery, just-sweet-enough, baked until it's the color of caramel. We top with seasonal berries and a snow of powdered sugar.

If you've ever eaten a lemon dessert that tasted like cleaning product, this one will reset you.

Love from our guests
