Ninou - Rosebery

My son and his girlfriend picked me up from a long overseas flight, and asked if I'd like to take a bit of a diversion and try out this new French Patisserie. Having just lost 4 kg on my holidays, I thought to myself ' what's another kilo?!', so off we went.On arrival, you are 'confronted' by 'sweet tooth heaven' [ or hell, if attempting to lose weight ]. Displays of gastronomical delights, placing you in the dilemma of 'what will I try?'.Michael, the young but talented chef, is there to watch at work, with an open plan kitchen to your right. I've always loved a kitchen where you can see and watch the chefs at work - showing that they have nothing to hide, and everything to show and brag about.I was in seventh heaven on arrival - the array of food delights was gobsmacking, and how do you choose which one to try. Each piece was a work of art, and looked incredible.They cost an average of $7 each, but it is worth every cent. You cut into your 'artwork' and find layer upon layer of delights, each working their magic on your tastebuds. It was almost a crime to cut into each piece, as they were all so beautiful to look at. NINOU is an art gallery for all foodies and lovers of beautiful food.I can highly recommend NINOU, even if it is just to look and savour the experience.

I popped in to get a coffee and cake in the morning and waited a while but they were a bit slow and too busy so decided to go back later. Went back later in the day and waited to order and pay quite a while - they're a bit slow here (and both times wasn't particularly busy). I ordered two sweets, beautifully created, and very nice and sweet patisserie items. One had a delightful little macaron on top. I also ordered a plain croissant that was nice and fluffy inside. My cappuccino came out fast and was a good coffee, though no latte art. There's a lot of hype over this place due to the beautifully created treats, just be prepared for the wait.

The pastries at this French cafe are absolutely delicious. They have a variety of breads, sandwiches, tarts, and other French pastries that are all amazing. My favorites are the Salted Caramel Tart and the pastry with chocolate chips in it, although I can't remember its exact name. The Chicken Sandwich is fantastic, and everything else I've tried there has been excellent. I highly recommend this place.

We initially planned to have breakfast somewhere else, but we were ignored so we ended up coming here. It's a nice relaxed atmosphere with chill music, and the croque monsieur is definitely not healthy, but it tastes delicious! You should definitely give it a try :)

A wonderful place for someone like me w a sweet tooth. Must try the strawberry tarts fabulous. A must visit.
