Formerly at Balmain, Victoire boulangerie / pâtisserie moved down the street to Rozelle late last year. This was good news for me as it meant I was now only minutes away from eye candy! The sweet scent of freshly baked Parisian-style pastries, tarts, cakes, and rustic breads are almost irresistible and I absolutely love the sight of perfection in their glass cabinet displays! So much beauty. Thank goodness I have a bit more self control these days - can't let all the running go to waste!
I picked up a few indulgent pieces recently to take to a dinner party - a
chocolate tartlet, a lemon meringue tartlet, a strawberry tartlet, a rhubarb
tartlet and a wonderful blueberry and lavender tartlet.
They were most divine. Each tart was just so sensational.
The meringue is impossibly airy and elegant and the shortcrust pastry shells are perfectly delicate. I love love love the silky rhubarb and the sugar-crusted shell, although I think my favourite would have to be the blueberry and lavender which is simply heavenly.
P.S. They also have the best almond sticks!

I was so sad when Victoire moved to Rozelle. The rhubarb tart looks rustic but it is to die for!
Awww, you'll have to pop down to Rozelle more often ;)
Oh my those tarts do look good! The Blueberry one looks too perfect to eat! How much do they sell each of the tarts for??
Not cheap at all. From memory they were $5 - 6. But worth every cent!
ONG - those tarts are making me drool...
They look almost too good to be eaten!
Oh those tarts look devine!
Yup, picture perfect and they taste even better ;)
Aw man. That looks ridiculously good. Went to a place that looks kinda similar with a coupon deal my BF found on notanotherfuckingcoupon.com.au -believe it or not. It defo wasn't a romantic sounding website but the restaurant was gorgeous ;) :P
