Madeleine (Stockbridge)

• Patisserie Madeline is a rather odd little French patisserie in Raeburn
• My friend and I were the only ones who had chosen to sit down but while we were there quite a few people came in to buy desserts to take away
• Mine was a raspberry macaroon concoction filled with raspberry cream and fresh whole raspberries which was really quite exquisite
• It was delicate and light despite the cream which I was worried might make it too heavy
• The coffee was equally good
• The pastries were delicious and were evidently made on sight
• The macarons are freshly made so between one day and the next
• Particular favourites are their tea ones matcha and sencha praline and salted caramel
• Their chef is an absolute culinary whizz
• I swore by Pierre Herme's eclectic flavours and Laduree's classic macarons and was convinced that no one could quite beat them
• This little patisserie amazed me with their choice and quality (and great value
• The other patisserie offerings were just as delectable
• Perhaps because it was a particularly miserable day and the place was very busy
