The Hunt For Macarons is ON!!!! - Sydney's Baroque Bistro

The Baroque Bistro is a Restaurant + Cafe and Patisserie located in Circular Quay in Sydney. I saw an 'article' on this when I spent one Saturday afternoon (many many months ago) watching Sydney Weekender on Prime 7.

They served up Macarons but what they also served up were classes as to how to make them. That's when I became very interested. So, when I got on a break from  uni, I went up to Sydney to visit relatives and this place.

I spent the day with a cousin and we searched high and low. Lots of walking but we rejuvinated our energy with 4 slices of pizza each. It took us a little while and it was worth it.


When we stepped into the store, it was sure busy since it was popular but man the meals looked pricy. Though the Macarons didn't hurt the wallet so much with each piece sitting at $2.50 per piece. As for the Macaron class, it costs about $220 per person (includes a lunch and the ingredients plus lesson) (prices from 11/12/2010 according to Sydney Weekender).

Alongside the Macarons behind the counter were these other cakes that look so irrisistable and very fancy too, selling at $12 per serve.

After our lunch and stroll to burn it off, we had the Macarons for dessert while taking in the westernish scenery and exploring the interesting stalls held near the Baroque Bistro.
