I think we have found our new favourite dessert-spot. Aux Merveilleux have recently popped over from France to open their first London shop in South Kensington, and it is definitely worth a visit. They have a fairly limited variety of goods, but they are the definition of 'quality over quantity'.
Their two main products are 'Les Cramiques', which are sweet brioche buns with a range of different additions, such as raisins and chocolate chips...
...And 'Les Merveilleux', which are, in our eyes, 'little puffs of heaven'. In reality, they are meringue covered in a very light whipped cream, and then rolled in a range of different toppings. They are bewilderingly airy, and seem to disappear in your mouth the second you eat them.
With strict instructions that they must be carried carefully and kept refrigerated, they are packed into a pretty little box to take home. (You can also eat them in-store, by why would you give up the chance to have one of these!)
We picked our four favourite flavours; praline, caramel, chocolate and coffee.
What a gorgeous little treat, but at almost £2 each, maybe we will save them for special occasions.
