Private practice - business reviews

Relying on the literary and artistic atmosphere near the apple community of Baiziwan, in recent years, many restaurants focusing on fresh and exquisite routes have settled down, including private practices that have been open for 14 years. Its founder and chef studied French pastry at Ferrandi Paris, a French culinary academy, and obtained the French national registered professional pastry chef, and later worked in restaurants such as Piere Herme, a macaron pastry shop, and Rollet Pradier, a top dessert shop. This resume alone has attracted many cake lovers who come to taste authentic French desserts.

Since it is a French pastry, Napoleon is naturally the most important, and in fact the privately prepared Napoleon cake has always had a reputation, and with a limited number of daily productions (six or seven, according to official propaganda), it sells out after 4 p.m. Flavours include green tea, jasmine vanilla, chocolate matcha and more, with green tea Napoleon consisting of three layers of puff pastry mixed with chocolate and green tea cream, topped with blueberries and cherries. In terms of taste, the original expectation of the fragrance of green tea and the strong aroma of chocolate is not good, more often it is the overbearing chocolate that completely covers the taste of green tea, leaving only sweet and greasy cream, so it has also been criticized by many guests for being too sweet; In addition, some of the puff pastry produced is too hard, losing the taste that Napoleon should have, and it is a cake with a serious reputation differentiation.

In contrast, the jasmine flavor of Napoleon is even better, the aroma of jasmine is not overshadowed by the chocolate, the entrance is clearly recognizable, the cream is smooth, and the puff pastry still crumbles from time to time, presumably because it is contaminated with water vapor during the production or placement process.

A number of European court-style tables and chairs were purchased privately, with paintings and decorations, with the intention of creating a romantic style that fits the theme, but the walls and ceilings were not invested and creative enough, and the whole atmosphere could not be fully set off. It is worth noting that the shop does not have a menu and price list, so it is best to ask the waiter first when choosing a cake.
