Amazing.
Not only does he produce the best pastries that I have had in North America – and better than many I have had in France, but he has replicated his business in North Vancouver and opened a Kitsilano branch.
He will be busy.
Saturday morning – about 11:30 (late start) – we [...]

Venchi Gelateria – Bologna, Italy
November 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Bologna, Italian, dessert, gelato
In August, Bologna gets hot. I don’t mean some jerk saying “hot enough for ya?” hot – I mean run from shadow-to-shadow hot. It is one of the hottest places in Italy in the summer, and generally speaking the entire town (mostly) closes down for the month. It is ridiculous by [...]

Gelateria Kopa Kabana – Siena, Italy
November 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Italian, Siena, dessert, gelato
Perhaps we were spoiled by some of the amazing gelato in Bologna and Florence, but we thought that this was really bad gelato. The lineup inside and the crowd enjoying the gelato outside made us think this place must be good, but the three sorbetto flavours we tried – grapefruit, strawberry, and lemon [...]

Bubo – Barcelona

This is one of the best patisseries in Spain and can hold its own around the world. In fact, it is famous for the world’s best chocolate cake, an award that pastry chef Carles Mampel won a few years ago. Try the chocolate cake or for that matter any of [...]

Perche No – Florence, Italy
October 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Florence, Italian, Late Night, dessert, gelato
This place is worth seeking out when you are in the city centre – seek it out more than once if you have time. As you stroll the streets of Florence displays of gelato piled high and decorated with fruit will entice you at every corner. Ignore those poor imitations of [...]

Sweet Cherubim Bakery and Restaurant – Vancouver – Commercial Drive
July 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Asian, Baked Goods, Inexpensive, Kid-friendly, Vancouver, Vegetarian, dessert
Head over to Commercial drive if you need your fix of tasty vegetarian/vegan cuisine. Don’t expect a chic restaurant – this is more of a cafeteria-style affair with a dessert/bakery display case out front and a hot table with a lot of dishes that have an indian or asian bent [...]

Beard Papa’s – Vancouver (West End)
June 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Japanese, Vancouver, dessert
I have no idea how this place has brought the cream puff back (or where it ever went), but if you’re in need of something sweet, fairly light, and decadent enough that you’ll just have one, come to Beard Papa’s anytime. In the West End, it’s in the super-busy strip on Denman [...]
