LA Madeleine, Houston

This restaurant has the best bakery goods in the world. and i have been everywhere. their salads are wonderful, breads even better. i do not live in houston anymore but when i do come back, it is the first restauant i go to.....

Order up front, some items (soup/salad) readily available as you order. Other items (dinners/sandwiches) are prepared and then brought to your table. Layout of the restaurant was a bit confusing at first, perhaps I was expecting sit down service because of the nice, cozy atmosphere. Eventually one of the employees noticed I looked lost and directed me to the register. No apparent dress code: most people are in casual wear. I was in shorts/tshirt when I visited. First impression when the food arrived was the relatively small size of the sandwich. I was used to the fast food chain sized sandwiches, such as Quiznos' own version. However, I found the meal to be satisfying. Roast beef was very good, and the hint of horseradish really added a nice kick. The pesto pasta side was also quite tasty. Overall, the restaurant is a nice cozy place, probably ideal for bringing a date. However, for the price, I did expect a bit larger sandwiches. I'll probably visit this place a couple more times to try out their other menu items, and for special occasions.
