Lime macaroons - Petit fours - Guillaume at Bennelong - by Julia
Seeing the pretty little petit fours being served, we couldn't help but order tea and coffee, even if they were a rather steep AUD8. We consoled ourselves that it was good value if each of the petit fours were AUD1 each! My highlight was the salty caramel, with just enough salt to balance the sweet caramel. Julia loved the passionfruit jellies that was intensely sour but very fragrant. The bitter chocolate tart and the airy macarons were also good.

All our expectations were met at Guillaume at Bennelong! All we needed was good food done well, and we got all that at Guillaume's.
If we ever get the chance, perhaps we should go back for the 8-course degustation!
