La Maison De L'eclair



We have had enough of macaroons and cupcakes, now it's the time for éclair. A éclair is a crispy  dough, filled with cream and topped with fondant icing. It’s a delicious French classic, especially for Parisian. This pastry shop at Bondi Road has been well known to have the best éclair in Sydney. It was around 5pm on Sunday, the shop was about to close, I think I was the last customer they had on that day. How lucky :))

I had three éclairs as you can see in the picture, Nutella (right), Crunchy Hazelnut (centre), Caramel (left). The Nutella Éclair ($8.50) was pretty tasty as is all things with Nutella! This éclair with its wonderfully smooth Nutella cream filling on top filled all the corners of the whole éclair, accompanied by small crunch balls on top. The Crunchy Hazelnut Éclair ($8.50) was a fair runner up to the Nutella éclair with a crunchy hazelnut cream filling topped with a sweet hazelnut fondant, nougatine, hazelnuts, gold leaf and a mini macaroon with a delicately crisp shell. The Caramel Éclair ($8.50) was nothing special compared to those two. Basically it was filled with caramel on the top and melted chocolate on the inside. All I could taste was sweet upon sweet.
