My other favourite cake place is La Renaissance Patisserie at the Rocks. I felt sorry the these guys as the big Guylian place moved in next door at the beginning of the year. Clearly La Renaissance is the superior patisserie but its always scary when a big multi-conglomerate giant wants to steal your business. So it was reassuring to see they were full were last week.
I've tried their cakes several times and its better than Guylian or Lindt. If you don't fancy something sweet you can always have their melt in the mouth croissants.
Craving for macaroons again, how can I not buy some?
From top L - R
Coffee: Nice intense coffee flavour.
Salted Caramel: This flavour pairing seems to be trend these days. I can understand why - its delicious.
Passionfruit: This was surprisingly good. I was expecting the usual passionfruit flavour but after you took a bite of it and started chewing, the passionfruit flavour intensifies and you get a sweet burst of passionfruit flavour. Perhaps the dark chocolate ganache helped offset this flavour?
Olive Oil: Has a subtle flavour - very smooth.
Chocolate Ganache: You can tell they've used Valrhona!
Strawberry: I love how this one is in the colours of the French flag. When you bite into it you think 'oh yes, the normal stuff.', but surprise! There's strawberry jam in the middle!
Rose Scented Butter Cream: Another with subtle flavours.
The macaroons are $10 for 100g. The above cost $20 but well worth it.
