| - I went there for macarons, and it was my lucky day! I was served by the owner, I think. She was an older (and very French) woman, who everyone called "Madame". There were also younger staff present, but "Madame" came over to help me. I told her I was there to eat macarons! And she was very friendly, attentive, and generous! She described all the flavours to me, and I asked for one of each. She then proceeded to give me triple of each!! And she told the cashier girl to ring up only the amount I asked for (which was 6 macarons). I ended up with a hefty little brown paper sack of macarons. God bless her for feeding my greedy soul.
Each macaron is slightly larger than a toonie. Flavours the day I went were: Raspberry, Chocolate, Coffee, Pistachio, Lemon, and Vanilla. The flavours were done nicely. I always love seeing black vanilla seeds in an authentic Vanilla. Pistachio contained finely ground nuts, yummy. Something funny happened when I bit into the Lemon; my teeth hit something plastic-like, and I was like, WTF?! I pulled the tiny piece out of my mouth and found it was a piece of actual lemon zest (aka peel)! So after a sigh of relief (and pleasure), I give Patachou two thumbs up!
