The pain au chocolat is soooo good!! I never resist to buy one whenever crossing by. All the cakes and sweets look amazing, well done and French detailed.
Small but seductive looking artisan patisserie which attracted me like a bee to honey!! Although the variety at Aux Merveilleux is small, the items that they specialize in are truly Devine! They have mastered the art of the Mereveilleus making- these are morsels of light meringue filled and covered in a foamy whipped cream and coated in various flavors such as nuts, crystalized meringue, chocolate shavings and biscuit like crumbs. These pretty and delicate morsels are a spiritual awakening to the palate of the sweet toothed!! Love at first bite!.. Another specialty here are the brioche buns that come with chocolate chip, sugar, plain or raisins. These have to be my favorite brioche buns ever! They have a cushiony springy softness and a foreign juiciness which is a pleasure to all my senses! Worth visiting London for!! ; ) xxxx
My sister tried their mini merveilleux in Paris and told me to try them pronto. Since I couldn’t make it to Paris, I found the shop in London and bought 4 different flavours to try. They were nice but it wasn’t my kind of dessert. So if this is your type of sweet, definitely go try it out!
I stumbled across this beautiful french patisserie when strolling through Kensington. Glad to hear that they have opened one on Northcote road! They have sweerbreads and macaroons which are sweet and taste really fresh. Lovely staff and genuine feel to the shop and produce. Big fan! C’est magnifique!
Readers, todays post was originally meant to be about my recent jaunt to Paris, but thats going to have to wait until next week. I have something to tell you a little discovery that I couldnt be more excited about.When R and I went to Paris we stumbled across this tiny patisserie that sold the most exquisite little balls of sweet perfection either of us had ever tasted. When describing it to Rs mum the next day we both despaired as we wouldnt have had a clue where on earth to point her towards on her own upcoming day trip to the city of love. We did however delight in reliving that bitter-sweet memory from the day before and tried as hard as possible to describe them.Basically, they were a ball of meringue, with more meringue (but the soft stuff), praline and one of an assortment of flavours inside (caramel, cherry, chocolate, white chocolate, coffee), then coated in chocolate or praline shavings on the outside. They were really light & fragile and just melted into our mouths. My description doesnt do these things justice; they were sweet but not tooth-achingly and the flavours were just divine, not overpowering in the slightest. The shop was also really charming with simple elegant dcor and very friendly service.I went home after lunch with Rs mum determined to find the location of this place based on a photo Id taken of the outside (clever Lady Cake~) only to find their website and discover that theyd opened in South Kensington that very day!!!And so it was on Friday I made the trip there and fell in love all over again.London, let me introduce you to Aux Merveilleux ~ de Fred ~. They can be found at 88 Old Brompton Road, South Kensington. Come out of the station and turn away from the museums, walk straight down Old Brompton Road, keeping on the right hand side and walk past Hummingbird Bakery but dont walk past Byron Burgers if youve got that far walk slightly back and you will have found Aux Merveilleux.Prices range depending on the size (mini, medium and big cake sized) but I had two of their mini treats with a takeaway cup of loose leaf Dilmah jasmine tea for 4.80. Ive paid much more for macarons before (Im looking at you Laduree and your devious way of getting one addicted) and these satisfied me just as much. They have a small range of meringue based cakes and brioche. It is run by a group of very friendly young French people who will gladly talk you through their products. Its more of a takeaway place but they do have two small tables so you can stand and enjoy should you not feel the patience to put them in a box and head up to Kensington Gardens to stop and watch the world/overfed squirrels go by while you consume these balls of perfection.Ill see you in line. Get there now before the rest of London storms in on this place.
