Where To Find a Classic French Quiche in the Capital
Continuing on my journey to find classic dishes from around the world in the capital, today I’ll be looking at where you can get a classic French quiche. These savory tarts filled with cream, cheese, eggs and a whole range of other fillings make for a perfect breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner.
Deli De Luxe
This gourmet deli has tons of perfect lunchtime dishes on offer, and among them are two quiches. The first one is Pumpkin and Feta Cheese (small RMB 46, large RMB 68), which sees a quiche absolutely jam-packed with pumpkin, spinach and feta cheese. The other quiche available is the delicious Salmon and Dill (small RMB 48, large RMB 72) which has spinach, smoked salmon, shallots and capers combined together. Both quiches come served up with a small side salad and sauce.
