The smell of fresh baguettes, buttery pastries and sweet cakes fill the air at Le Bon Choix in Brisbane City. After patisserie chefs spend hours creating lush lemon meringues, chocolate velvet tarts and exquisite pastries, each dessert waits patiently to be devoured inside the window display. It doesn’t take long before a steady stream of customers fill the lovely European-style courtyard with a sweet delight and espresso in hand. Creamy cafe au lait, strong espresso and delicate teas accompany plates of delectable morsels, including handmade macarons, intricate petit flours, chocolate tarts and luscious cakes.
