rue cler

i went to rue cler for the first time. it's a cute french cafe in downtown durham that i never knew existed until today. we had to wait thirty minutes for a table, but i have to say it was worth it, especially for the beignets. it wasn't too expensive either for a sunday brunch. the croque monsieur (lower picture) that i had was pretty good, particularly the ham and gruyere. the salad that came on the side got kind of heavy at the end, and i couldn't finish it. but the best part was definitely the beignets. they were kind of an afterthought order, but it was so warm, sweet, and not overly heavy. it definitely made my day. =)
