Looking for a breakfast treat? The Plum Tart from La Chatelaine is a good bet. There’s no custard in this tart – just beautifully cooked plum slices (with skin) and a buttery pastry. It’s served chilled and has a light coating of gelĂ©e. The plum flavor is quite pronounced, and having the skins left on makes it delicious. The whole tart is four inches across and an inch tall. At $4.25, it’s a good portion for one person and not too sweet. La Chatelaine’s bakery case has many options, if you check it out with a friend. All of the patisseries are priced at $4.25. I visited the bakery on Lane Avenue.
La Chatelaine has three locations – in Columbus at 1550 West Lane Avenue, in Dublin at 65 W. Bridge Street, and in Worthington at 627 High Street. They are open Monday through Saturday from 7am – 9pm and Sunday 8am- 7pm. Visit them online at lachatelainebakery.com.
