Ghyslain Maurais, a Quebec native, found his culinary passion in architectural education. He changed career paths in pursuit of his passion. Ghyslain is now certified in French pastries, chocolate décor, candy making, blown/pulled sugar and bread making. After meeting his wife while working in Ohio - they relocated to her home town of Union City, IN. Since then they have made wonderful gourmet chocolates & fine French pastries. A true gem in Indiana - hence I've dedicated my first blog to them. Cheers!
An array of French Pastries on display. (L to R Caramel Cheescake, Soleil Levant, Charlemagne, Tiramisu)
Impressive handmade & hand panted chocolates. My personal favorite is the Japanese Yuzu Dark Chocolate
Their lunch menu (from the Richmond location) is also delicious and affordable ($9-$12) while their dinner menu is chef's choice and changes daily (a bit pricer). Because it's a locally owned restaurant I find that many times the staff is also more willing to accommodate and are friendlier. They opened on a Monday to serve our large party (with a minimum charge of course) when they're usually not open.
Neat little team time depending on how strong you'd like your tea (also available in their store for ~$15)
