Finally, we decided on the Mango Soleil and the waitress also recommended the new Champagne macaron. I was also really interested by the Rose macaron so we ordered that too.
Sitting at the small table inside the shop, the first out of the three that we tried was the Mango Soleil. Inside this little dome cake is alternating layers of pistachio sponge cake and vanilla cream with small chunks of mango flesh in the centre. Personally, I'm not a fan of cream so I didn't really enjoy this that much. However, the pistachio sponge cake was very rich in flavour - could definitely taste the pistachio!
Next up was the Rose macaron. To be honest, I couldn't taste the rose flavour at all... only overwhelmed by the sugary-sweetness!
Last, the Champagne macaron. I thought this was the best out of the three! After having the rose macaron, I was expecting another one that was just filled with sweetness. But I was wrong! Taking a bite from this one, I could really taste the flavour of champagne! It was somewhat bitter yet still quite fruity, yum
