Lenotre hits our shores!


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

The Lenotre group, mostly known for their awesome patisserie, have reached Australia. If I remember rightly, they're a part of the Accor group, which runs Sofitel, and was introduced at the start of last year in the Hotel Sofitel in Sydney. I'm not sure how long ago, but they're also come to Melbourne now. I'd love to go sometime but am overseas but would love to hear what it's like. Has anyone been?

I had the luxury of visiting their factory outside Paris a few years ago, if that is anything to go by, they will be welcome in Australia, although some locals can replicate their product very well !!

I went to the Sofitel for their Lenotre high tea last April. It was prettily done and the service was friendly. Unfortunately, the finger sandwiches were far more delicious than the lovely-looking but average-tasting pastries and cakes. I would go back again because we had a very girly good time but would look to one of the better patisseries in Sydney to fulfil my cravings.

Yeah lenotre isnt the best option anywhere for pastry, stuff is just ok, not really worth the trip if your just going for sweet....... its ok to hang out for espresso ect.
