The Patisserie is one of Joburg's best kept secrets (as are most of the places in The Post Office Centre!).
It is a little shop in an old but trendy shopping complex in Illovo. Don't be deterred by the less than glam surroundings. I once spotted Edith Venter getting her nails done in the salon opposite it, and the restaurants are filled with business lunch types and families and friends sitting down for a meal and catch-up together.
The pastries and cakes are elegant little works of art. The macaroons and red velvet chocolate cake are legendary, and although pricey are worth every penny. You only need one little, super-rich and chocolaty piece to satisfy your craving. Everything in the shop is a quality item. If you are throwing a high tea and need to impress, I strongly you recommend you come to the Patisserie!
