On Queen Street West near Trinity Bellwoods Park you’ll find a little piece of France right here in Toronto. Nadège Patisserie just might be the Yummy Local’s best find of the year, just thinking about all the amazing pastries, the macarons, the marshmallows…makes my mouth start to water!
As a fourth generation pastry chef from Paris, Nadège Nourian’s patisserie is truly a masterpiece from the stained hardwood floors to the ultra modern decor; this French bakery was born to dazzle the eye and wet your taste buds.
The only thing better than the cool surroundings are the delicious treasures found on display like works of art in a gallery. The cakes are out of this world and the marshmallows ($5) are fantastic!
Warning! Do not leave the bakery without buying a “melt in your mouth” macaron that come wonderful flavours such as blackberry-chocolate, cappuccino, and tonic marshmallow ($2 each / $20 for a dozen)
You will leave Nadège Patisserie with a smile on your face, guaranteed.
Open: 8am – 8pm

I was just in Paris last weekend and I have to say the pastry array there is quite impressive. I cannot wait to try out this funky new find to see if it really does compare.
Hey Maria,
Only one way to find out. Please let us know how Nadège Patisserie compares.

Hi, nice post about Nadege, however your address is incorrect, it’s Queen Street West, not East. Right beside Trinity Bellwoods park.
Hey Alicia,
Thank you so much for letting me know about the wrong address.
I’m guessing you’ve been to Nadège’s. What was your favourite?
Alice,
Hi Alice! I would have to say my favourite would be the Mango/Strawberry/Champagne cake (looks like a peach/pink teardrop)
mmmm my mouth is watering right now!
I believe you mean macaron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaron) and not macaroon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaroon).
LOL. Thank you Gail for the correction.
For you guys out there, the definition of a macaroon:
are sweet foods made either with coconut and egg white or with a coarse almond paste formed into a dense cookie or confection. They are often confused (due to the very similar spelling) with the French Macarons which are entirely different in appearance.
Macarons have got to be the most overrated foodstuff in the pastry world.
Macarons could be considered to be a glamorized cookie I guess but there are some really good ones out there.
They’re also pretty expensive at times but I’m guessing they’re not that easy to make.
