Since discovering that a new French Patisserie had recently opened in Landsborough, GC&M News has been keen to try some of the tasty treats – purely for research purposes naturally!
A recent team meeting provided the perfect excuse to head over and pick up a selection of sweet treats for morning tea. Named after its location at ‘22 Cribb Street’ the patisserie offers both savoury and sweet options, fresh bread and coffee and cold drinks.
The most difficult decision was trying to pick out which delectable treat to try. In the interests of fair and balanced reporting we chose a selection of seven pastries and cakes. Our morning tea consisted of lemon meringue, chocolate éclair, Paris-Brest, St Honore gateau, Banoffee pie, chocolate twist and a croissant – and yes it was very tasty!
All treats were delicious; the Paris-Brest made with Almond-studded choux pastry and a decadently rich, nutty praline crème mousseline was extremely good, though the melt in your mouth tanginess of the lemon meringue pie was also deemed a favourite by our taste-testing team.
22 Cribb Street, French Patisserie is open Wednesday to Sunday 6.30am-1pm (Wednesday – Friday) and 7am-1pm (Saturday-Sunday). More details www.facebook.com
