If you love doughnuts it’s time to get egg-cited!

Aux Merveilleux, Northcote Road

Now these Belgian delicacies are something to behold! Early in his career, Frédéric Vaucamps fell under the spell of Merveilleux cakes and has been paying tribute to this unique delicacy ever since. In 1985 he rethought the recipe for the Merveilleux cakes – meringue coated in whipped cream and shavings of chocolate – making them lighter and with different flavours. Indulge at Easter or all year round!

Think authentic ‘Italian Gelato’, think ‘macaron’. And then imagine these two wonders of the world colliding to create a dreamy ice-cream macaron, worthy of any Easter table. Amorino is the eggs-pert when it comes to these frozen gems. Take your pick from a selection of flavours and enjoy every mouthful, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.
