The first
thing to know about Chloe’s French Café in Santa Rosa is that it is in a really
odd location – it’s tucked into the bottom of an office building in Santa Rosa.
The second thing to know, they are only open Monday through Friday. Neither of these things deter the throngs of
people I see there every time I go. And
why is that? Because the food is great! And the people who work in that office
are extremely lucky.
I always get
the Croque Monsieur at Chloe’s. It’s a grilled ham and cheese sandwich made
with thick white bread filled with ham, cheese and a sweet Dijon sauce. The top is drenched with béchamel sauce and
broiled. On the side are what I think are homemade
pickles. It’s probably fairly obvious, but it’s not a diet meal by any means. One time I went here after running 13 miles. I think I might have come out even.
If you still have room for
dessert, give the Napoleon a try. Bon Appetit!
