Toronto's most elegant patisserie — Delysées makes French pastries at a level that rivals anything in Paris. The mille-feuille, éclairs, macarons, and seasonal fruit tarts are all made with exceptional technique and the best ingredients. The space is small and refined, with marble counters and white boxes tied with ribbon. It's expensive, but for a special occasion dessert, there's nothing better in the city.

Why visit Delysées
The mille-feuille is the signature — layers of crisp pastry and vanilla cream that dissolve on contact. The éclairs rotate flavours seasonally and are all exceptional. Order ahead for custom cakes; the display case sells out by mid-afternoon.
