The entire LBB team agrees that croissants are one of the best things in life and always an object of desire on any given day. The flaky layers, the depth of flavours as you bite deeper into it, and the crisp golden colour — all bring you instant happiness. For the most part, it's an endorphin inducer for majority of us that picks your mood from anything life throws at you (even though temporarily). It doesn't matter if you pronounce it 'kwuh-saunh' or 'kro-saint' or even our favourite; 'quson!'; it's a delightful French baked pastry that never misses the mark, and here are ten places in Delhi serving them the best!
