Making and perfecting a canelé is no easy task, which is why there are only a few patisseries and bakeries across the city that offer this small delicacy. Originating from Bordeaux, this classic French pastry is infused with rum and vanilla, although unique flavours like matcha, Ferrero Rocher and earl grey can also be found. Cylindrical in shape with a deeply caramelized shell and a soft, tender and custardy inside, canelés make for the perfect sweet treat.
