Tout le mond, this cafe is the perfect place to sink your teeth into food worth actually paying for. None of this Seashore Cabaret, Zany Zeus rubbish. Give me fine dining! Anyway, the best French patisserie in Wellington for sure. Today, I ventured off with my friend (Croissant_Muncher) to this little gem in Kaiwharawhara in the hopes we could resurrect the rapidly declining sense of quality our tastebuds have so unfortunately succumbed to over the past year or so. First thing to note is that this place feels authentic. You walk through the door and you feel transported to a modern twist on a classic French bakery. The decor screams French Revolution with its industrial chic architectural aesthetic and it’s furnishings which flick you back down the timeline of France’s history. Not to also mention this place is very clean! Like the floors actually look like they’ve been swept and mopped. Most importantly, the food is just out of this world. I think especially being from a country where the general public’s go-to so called “gourmet brunch” would be McDonalds, this just sets the bar even higher for business’ to further be in pursuit of. I mean the desserts I had the pleasure of putting my elderly mitts on and placing in my mouse trap were truly eye opening. I had the strawberry tart, lightly glazed with a strawberry sugar jam and the lemon tart. They were both truly sublime. My friend had the caramel buttercream choux which also was a delightful mouthful of authentic French flavours. The coffee art produced here is second to none also, not to mention it was absolutely amazing. Now, don’t get me started on brunch! I had the salmon and leek tart with a salad on the side and let me tell you this! That Salmon tart was exquisite in flavour. As for the salad, I’m so happy one place in the Wellington region knows how to make a salad. Like this salad was only a side salad and it was beyond magnificent in flavour. I’m so use to going to places and they throw me a bag of mescaline and dice up various cheap Pak’nSave vegetables to try to deter my attention away from how tragically confused the food really is. (not naming names, lol Fig Tree! xD). Anyway, the desserts look like world class chefs made them and I was very happy to experience a cafe which embodies a sense of luxury with good hearty tucker and might I also add, affordable at that.
