A cute and elegant patisserie that specialises in chocolate and macarons using high quality ingredients, with branches all over CBD.
Every macaron here is perfected in a consistent manner; its beautiful crumble and soft delicate buttercream. You can tell they use actual fruit purees, and transform its strong flavours into a light, soft, and perfectly sweet treat.
I loved the pistachio, where the nuttiness from the pistachio and the creaminess and crumbliness of the macaron was a harmony of textures. I also really loved the strawberry, passionfruit and rhubarb macaron as well as the rose flavour macaron. The salted caramel isn't a flavour I would pick right off the bat because it's so heavy and rich, but their macaron here could change that into an elegant taste, which is worth trying.
Such a cute little shop which I always walk past during lunch and finally decided to go in the other day to get some macarons. Got my favourite salted caramel one and also the chocolate one. The chocolate filling was really smooth and like a mousse wedged in between the two perfectly shaped shells. It was light and airy when I bite into it.
The salted caramel one was really nice too. It was a really nice blend of savoury and sweet filling!
I only just learnt of the blue tea on their menu which I will have to go back and try!
Easily the best macarons in Melbourne, La Belle Miette have a variety of flavours and fillings.
The shells are perfectly formed and lightly crack when you bite into it.
The inside of the shell is perfectly chewy like marshmallow.
The blackcurrant jam & cream has a nice zing of fruitiness, and the peach & elderflower is both fruity and floral.
Prices are pretty reasonable at $2.80ea as well.
