Cakes/Cupcakes

It offers modern French cakes and pastries made with local ingredients and West Coast flavour, but with traditional French techniques. I did find most of them sounding better in the descriptions, but it is still one of the better patisseries in the city.

It’s the 35th World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS) in Daejeon, Korea and Chef Tobias MacDonald from La Belle Auberge is the representative for the Americas. I was honoured to be invited to attend Chef Tobias’ final practice run for his Global Chef’s Menu at La Belle Auberge.

It’s a new French bistro and if it can remain as consistent as the both times I’ve tried it, then I’m looking at a new local favourite that is here to stay. It’s a neighbourhood restaurant with affordable prices for the area. The food is rich, but it’s still catered for West Coast tastes.

Христос Воскрес! It’s a Sunday Night Ukrainian Easter Dinner Series! Chocolate eggs one week and paska (Ukrainian Easter Bread) the next? I’ll be bringing my basket! This is more or less a traditional Ukrainian dinner prepared by the Pazukha’s… how’s that for a last name? Recipes too!
