Birkenstocks Become Desserts at Tarts Anon

Overview

From a flaky raclette cheese and bacon croissant tart to a light honey-hojicha number, Head Chef Gareth Whitton is always dreaming up new specials for the pastry cabinet at Tarts Anon. His latest creation is herbaceous and comes from an unlikely source of inspiration — the forest green Birkenstock kitchen clogs that he's worn throughout most of his career.

This weekend, Tarts Anon's Richmond bakery has joined forces with Birkenstock to create an exclusive $12-per-slice thyme, chocolate and verjus tart. The tart nods to Whitton's Birkenstock Boston clogs in Thyme with swirls of thyme-chocolate mousse and dusted with cocoa in Birkenstock's signature tread pattern. It also mirrors the green found throughout the venue — a fit-out designed alongside Nathan Toleman, the hospo heavyweight behind gems like Top Paddock, Lilac Wine Bar and Hazel.

Plus, three Golden Tickets will be hidden beneath lucky slices, each worth a $250 Birkenstock Australia online voucher.

Tarts Anon will be serving up its limited edition thyme, chocolate and verjus tart with the chance to win a $250 Birkenstock online voucher from September 12–14.
