When we got near we realised it was cake, this makes me happy. We bought a selection of 'merveilleux' which are like little meringues delicately filled. The service was exceptional with the staff working efficiently and in such a friendly manner to serve people quickly. The merveilleux weren't overly sweet which is amazing considering they were like mini meringues! They were beautiful with amazing flavour and I wish I had bought more to bring home, no matter how bashed they would have ended up. Exquisitive and a must visit if you are in the area of the Wazemmes Market.

There was a choice among three and we selected the Quiche Lorraine with jambon. It was huge and perfectly cooked the filling was so moist and tender. Not a bite was left.

Quiche, apple tart and two drinks was $18. Very reasonable and highly recommend.
