New Laduree Pastries and Desserts
I was invited to celebrate Bastille Day this weekend at Laduree on Robson Street to sample their brand new pasty offerings. I absolutely adore the world of Laduree so I was especially excited to learn more about their new offerings. I had the opportunity to hear Laduree Executive Pastry Chef, Mickael de Monte, introduce these wonderful new treats to us. The 15-year industry veteran relocated from Paris to live in Canada soley to work at the new pastry laboratory in Vancouver which serves Laduree’s two locations in Vancouver: on Robson Street and in Holt Renfrew Department Store.
An Authentic Parisian Afternoon Tea Experience
The pastries are made according to the same recipes and techniques as they do in France using local ingredients and imported ingredients from France for those which cannot be found locally. The end result is that you’ll be experiencing Laduree the same way as you would if you were in Paris. And who doesn’t want to take a short break from their everyday lives on the West Coast and have a little break in Europe? With the addition of these new treats it’s definitely much easier to take that Parisian coffee break (yes, they serve coffee now!) or you can even bring a little bit of that magic home too.
I hope you enjoy looking through these photos from the event and that you’ll get a chance to make your way down soon. Until our next tea date!
XOXO,
Mimi

The iconic Ispahan: a rose macaron, filled with rose petal cream and lychees, adorned with fresh raspberries. This one is a must order!
From Left: Brioche & Pistachio Paste Croissants, Rose Croissant with crispy rose and rose syrup from France, Croissant with walnut and Pain au Chocolate.
Milk Chocolate Eclair, Ispahan and Plasir Sucre. I really loved the delicately sweet milk chocolate eclair filled with a soft chocolate pastry cream.
Assorted pastries. The lemon tart as shown on right is so tart and mouthwateringly delicious.
Besides tea, Laduree Vancouver now serves coffee too! You can have your morning or afternoon break enjoying a cup or two with your pastries.
