Restaurant Review : La Bouchee d'Or, Boat Club Road, Pune

Hey from EL The Cook!

The weekend draws near and this time we check out the boulangerie(a bakery that specializes in baking and selling bread) and patisserie (a pastry shop) , La Bouchee D'Or.

On a quiet,  Boat Club road, sits one of Pune's hidden gems. La Bouchee D'Or, which means a " a mouthful of gold" literally takes you to heaven with their pastries and breads.

CROISSANT 

The immaculate puff pastry glistens in the sunlight as picture perfect as can be. The flakiness of the pastry is delectable.

It is incredibly light and airy. The glaze over the top layer is almost perfect.

CHOCOLATE MACAROON

There are a few places that get these right. La Bouchee d'Or gets it perfectly!

 The airy,soft almond biscuit gives way to an intense chocolate cream. The richness of the cream is beautifully balanced with the texture of the biscuit.

A delight to look at and a pleasure to eat from start to finish.

CARAMEL ÉCLAIR

The choux pastry is extremely well made. The airy delight is complimented well with the creamy filling inside. The caramel glaze is beautifully textured and not too sweet either.

A bite into one only makes them more irresistible! 

 LEMON MERINGUE TART

Artistry in food is evident in this dessert. The meringue is wonderfully complex, the creaminess hits after you have discovered it on your palette. The caramelization of the tops of the meringue add a slight bitter note and a lovely presentation.

The tangy lemon curd is beautifully complimented by a flaky tart, carefully hidden under the glistening peaks of meringue.

A truly divine dessert!

BACON AND CHEESE QUICHE

The richness of the cheese and smokiness of the bacon shine through this dish. The pastry is beautifully light and really compliments the heaviness of the tart well.

The size is just perfect for a quick, single serve snack.

La Bouchee d'Or, is a treasure in the pastry segment in Pune.

Serving up some of the prettiest pastries and warm breads in the city.

The quality of produce and the depth of the dishes served up is mind-boggling. It truly reflects the pastry-chef's skill and technique to produce works of art!

A must visit is La Bouchee d'Or!
