Owned by some French macaron lovers who had been properly trained in the trade in Paris before opening shop in Melbourne, this mini patisserie is definitely of world class standards. From the innovative combinations of flavours which can’t be found even within France, ranging from macarons made from the 1st drops of Rose Absolute Otto as opposed to the 2nd extractions of the readily available Rose Water, fresh Citrus Lemon oil or the Fleur de Cerisier Sakura blossom flavoured gerbets with infused Sake flavour. The macaron texture is more on the softer and chewy side, which makes it just a tiny bit behind Paris Laduree or Dalloyau salon de the, but better than Pierre Herme.
Cute little macaron shop on Hardware Lane.
Within the CBD, easy enough to find !

Mariage Freres infused, Earl Grey with Chocolate Macaron -
Strong tea aroma in a macaron gerbet.
Nothing to complain about! Nice and moist inside.

Lovely and sensible flavours,

if only they could make the macaron shell a little more crisp on the outside.
Amazing stuff and a must visit !
