Nadege Patisserie
The final place we stopped by on our pre-Valentine's Day weekend was recommended to me by Monica Kulling. Exactly one year ago, she gave me 4 little macarons from Nadege Patisserie, I even kept the card it came with (it's still on my fridge) just so I would remember to visit.
They offer lots of pastries, desserts, sandwiches, and macarons. They also have seating room if you ever want to take a break and watch chefs in the back make wonderful treats.
Honestly, I wanted to try more than one of their cakes, but having just purchased a bunch of cupcakes from the three previous bakeries, I had to behave and limit my sugar intake.
Since it was a weekend of looove, Howard and I decided on the pink fuzzy heart cake named Elle. "It's so FUZZY!" (say it in Agnes' voice from Despicable Me)
Cute box!!! By the way, the service was great. They greet you when you come in and are very attentive to help while you hem and haw over which dessert you're going to finally pick.
Hello Elle! This was by far our favourite dessert from the whole day. Inside, there is a layer of light sponge cake, lichee mousse with raspberry filling. We don't know what the pink fuzzy covering is over the white chocolate mold, but it was all edible and tasty. Great flavour combination!
And of course we're back for the macarons!
What can I say? It was fun! And if you have an eagle eye, you'll notice in the photo of our sweet haul that the macarons are sitting on top of another Nadege bag. Howard couldn't resist and also got a chocolate almond croissant.

ReplyDeleteSo close but yet so far away. These desserts are amazing and maybe it's a good thing it's far away.

Wonderful review of Nadège! It's one my favourite places in Toronto. I'm really surprised that they let you take photos. I was there in the summer of 2010 with a friend and one of the girls (she's Asian) behind the counter told her quite rudely that she wasn't allowed to take photos.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I was just there for Macarons Day, where all of the proceeds were donated to the Red Cross in Japan. I really enjoyed trying matcha green tea, hazelnut raspberry and chestnut.
Jessica, I think it's one of my top favourite places in Toronto too. I wish there was a location closer to me, downtown is always a trek. Odd about the photos... they didn't say anything and were rather friendly and nice. Mmmm those three flavours sound delicious!
ReplyDeletelove this place did u know they now have a location in Rosedale:)
ReplyDeleteEat Here Next, yes!!! I went on their 2nd opening day!! =D
