Overview
We thought we were done with macarons, but the food universe says otherwise. Macaron masters Ladurée are on their way to Melbourne like it's 2009, with the world famous French patisserie set to open in Chadstone this October.
One of a number of new high-end food offerings at the recently renovated shopping centre, the store will feature a nine-seat marble bar decorated with mosaic artwork, along with a Parisian-inspired tearoom capable of seating 21. It's the brand's third Australian location, and first outside of Sydney.
The standout item on the menu will obviously be the macarons, sweet double-decker creations with which the name Ladurée has long been synonymous. Raspberry, salted caramel, rose petal, orange blossom — the question won't be which one, but how many of each.
Customers will also be able to purchase various other Ladurée items, including teas, chocolates, confectionaries and perfumed candles, along with various other items perfect for personal pampering and/or stuffing down your gob.
Ladurée will open at Chadstone in late October. For more information, keep an eye on the Ladurée Australia Facebook page.
