Upon the recommendation of a friend, we finally visited the pricey Madeleine specialty store, Madeleine de Proust. The interior decor is sleek and tasteful, with a trendy vibe! The Madeleines here are works of art. As soon as we stepped in, the exquisite Madeleines caught our eye so much that we almost hesitated to eat them.
Their Madeleines are not only exquisite but also delicious, truly living up to our expectations! Since it was our first time visiting their store, the staff kindly explained the varieties of Madeleines they offer, both filled and unfilled, and recommended some popular flavours to us.
What we think
It should be the most comprehensive place in all of Melbourne for Madeleine flavours, with more than ten varieties, many of which are quite novel: corn, mugwort, gold nugget, butter & honey, pandan, walnut cream, black sesame!
Poppin’ Corn – $14
Compared to other Madeleines, the corn flavour is the most delicate. The details of the corn kernels are impressive. we expected it to have a strong corn flavour, but it was not what we expected! They usually sell out before noon, so it’s best to try them early!
Pistachio – $14
A layer of white chocolate envelops a thick pistachio jam and Madeleine. The filling has a slightly tart raspberry jam, balancing the overall sweetness perfectly. It’s not overly sweet at all.
Earl Grey Dulcey – $14
The combination of chocolate outer layer and Earl Grey tea Madeleine is incredibly delicious. This flavour is our personal favourite.
Overall, their Madeleines are not overly sweet, which is perfect for us as we are not a fan of overly sugary desserts.
