Without a doubt, Salted Caramel macarons are one of my most favourite things in the world. Ever since I had my first one over a year ago, I have been on a mission to find the best Salted Caramel macaron in Melbourne.
My latest taste test was La Belle Miette in Hardware Lane in the CBD.
The store is truly exquisite looking. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon enjoying tea and a macaron or two (or more!).

La Belle Miette’s flavours are quite interesting too - Olive Oil & Vanilla, Cherry Blossom & Sake and Bastille (Moet et Chandon & Blackcurrant) are some of the more… unusual ones.
I went for the Salted Caramel but also got the Strawberry & Vanilla and Pimm’s & Pomegranate.
Let me start off by saying that I admire anyone who makes macarons. They seem like they are really hard to make and get right.
These macarons weren’t the worst I’ve ever had, but also weren’t the best. The Salted Caramel filling was a bit overpowering and the texture of the outer shell was a little dry and not chewy enough. The flavours of the other two weren’t really present either and didn’t really make much of an impression on me.
It was a bit of a shame because I love the look of the store and the customer service was really good.
The search continues...
