Melbourne's newest ode to the Macaron - Luxbite, on South Yarra's Toorak Road - would surely make French pastry-making maître, Pierre Hermé proud. The duo behind this new venture are Yen Yee and Bernard Chu, both of whom are eminent pastry-chefs. Their Macaron are incredibly delicate, with glossy egg shell-like crusts that yield to reveal moist and airy interiors. Spectaculaire! Traditional flavours including Pistachio, Chocolate and Passionfruit, as well as the less expected Kaya Toast, Match Azuki and Pina Colada are featured in Luxbite's repertoire of sixteen flavours. Luxbite also make a selection of delectable St.Honoré Cakes. The classic French dessert is a homage to puff pastry and pâte à choux. Crowned with crème chiboust, they line the pastry cabinet in all their cellulite-creating splendor. Get into it. Bon appétit!
