With its unbeatable Le Classique breakfast of a baguette, sweet butter and European jams matched with your choice of coffee drink, French Corner was a mainstay of eats on San Mateo.
Its unlikely location next to a couple of brake and muffler shops notwithstanding, the restaurant ultimately declined in quality around the time that the owners moved back to France 2 years ago. The dwindling patronage meant that the joint couldn't sustain interest and it closed about a year after that.
Like any good NM transplants, however, Anne-Laure Ligier and her husband Phillipe couldn't stay away and the pair have returned to reopen a bakery and cafe with many of the same staples from their previous lunch spot.
The catch? Its in Santa Fe. Bummer for us, bully for the city different dwellers. Now called Clafoutis, I hope their pastries are as good as I remember and they also have... clafoutis!
