The 10 Best Lunch Options In DUMBO
The Quiche at Almondine
This DUMBO bakery is beloved for its pastries and fresh-baked breads, but is frequently thought of as more of a breakfast spot than a lunch one. This is a huge mistake. Almondine has a selection of sandwiches available, all of which are worth a try, sure, but nothing quite measures up to the joys of a wedge of Almondine quiche. It’s custardy yet substantial, with a perfectly flaky crust and gooey layer of cheese on the bottom. It’s so good, in fact, that when I asked my colleague and quiche aficionada Jennifer Mills for a quote about it, she simply wrote the words “lustful groan,” which pretty much says it all. Added bonus? It’s only five dollars, which is a bargain price around this neighborhood.
