Vanilla bean creme brulee – Le Diplomate

Vanilla bean creme brulee - Le Diplomate
Sable Breton cookie. $8
Le Diplomate, Washington DC

Crème brulees don’t usually excite me unless their an unexpected flavor so I wasn’t crazy about this dessert. It tasted fine and the vanilla flavor was there, but I wasn’t wowed. I did like the Breton cookies though.

Same here. Not a crème brûlée fan. Crema catalana on the other hand is a whole different story

    Yeah definitely! You might get lucky at Italian places, funnily. Beware of crèmes brûlées simply called crema catalana though, sadly they aren’t that uncommon.

  It’s fun to break through it, but then I just get sad realizing just how much sugar I’m ingesting.
