Gelato place gone replaced by Jeff de Bruges !

I still remember eating gelato from the place in King st before my friends 21st at Sydney Tower. I think it was a Gelatissimo before but now replaced by a french chocolatier Jeff de Bruges. I think it is the 1st store they have outside France. Didn't think much of it until I walk past it on Monday. Tried the chocolate ice-cream on a cone , a nice dark chocolate taste. Other flavours were pistachio , vanilla , strawberry ( they had a fancy french name for it something like francisee can't really remember). You can either pistachio with chocolate together or strawberry with vanilla together. Wasn't really game enought to try chocolate and pistachio knowing how it tasted like in French Riveria.

Weekend of desserts

On the way back home couldn't resist the gelato bar closest to my house. Technically it is walkable distance. They only had about 8 to 10 flavours to choose from. Was torn between chocolate and coffee or mango and blood orange. Both tasted more sweet then it was needed.

Saturday Night headed off to Max Breener@ Double Bay which I like the best one out of them all since you actually served by waiters instead of Parramatta and St Ives where you have order food yourself and find you own seats. Fondues weren't that good but now at least the chocolate is warm which tastes heaps better. The fondues at least are close to being back to the old standards. Dome tasted quite nice with a strong dark chocolate centre.

La Renaissance Patisserie Francaise @ The Rocks

After watching Sketches of Frank Genhry at Dendy Quays we quickly headed off to La Renaissance Patisserie Francaise. There was so many yummy cakes which made it very hard to decide either having my favourite eclairs or trying something esle. Opted for the latter.


On the left it is the Passion de Pierre which has nice citrus taste but not the sourness not overpowering. On the right is the Cezanne with hazelnut inside , a nutty taste but still better than the one at Lindt.
