| - I went in with only one intent in mind: MACARONS! I am a macaron monster, and I am on a mission to find the best in the GTA. At Rahier, I bypassed all the cakes, pastries and cookies and went straight for the macarons.
They are sold by weight, which is a good idea considering the sizes are inconsistent. I got four, and the girl somehow picked up two average sized ones (slightly larger than a toonie) and two tiny ones (about the size of a quarter). This cost $2.45 plus tax. They only had two flavours for individual sale today: lemon and apricot.
They also had large multi-flavour macaron packages, but I didn't want to risk it. Interesting to note: the packages are sold by weight too, and they weigh them in the box. So you are paying for the weight of the box!
Macaron verdict: they were really good! Very fresh, crisp shells and moist melty interiors. The fruity flavours were done well and not overly sweet. I would definitely go back for these again, especially to try in other flavours. And buying them by weight is a pretty good deal, instead of the set price of approx $1.75-$2.50 per macaron at most places.
The service is not the best though, I'd expect better than the rude little girls they employ.
