Bottega Louie Restaurant and Patisserie has been on my L.A. list of places to go for a number of years now. I had read numerous rave reviews about their delicious cuisine and beautiful macarons and had been dying to get there. This trip, I finally made it and Bottega Louie did not disappoint. First of all, the restaurant itself is absolutely stunning - with high ceilings, marble counters, and an super-chic bar.
The bakery counter is loaded with every sweet imaginable.
Eclair, anyone?
But it is the macarons that are truly the star of the show...
I mean, just look at them...
I have seen many a macaron over the years, but never any as vibrantly and beautifuly hued as these.
The colors - in every shade of the rainbow - are just incredible! And they are soooo delish!
Bottega Louie also has the prettiest pastel candies and marshmallows...
It took me some time to get there, but now that I've experienced Bottega Louie - I am counting the minutes until I can go back!
XOXO

Only the greatest restaurant ever! LOVE Bottega!

Jessica~I've been enjoying your CA travels. Being a CA native myself I'm partial to all the wonders S0-Calif offers. I'm still marveling at the confections (millinery as well) you always seem to find.
I've a question...have you ever purchased
Charbonnel et Walker truffles online? If so were you pleased. I know they're are sold at many high end retailers, but wasn't sure of the quality.
Sweet wishes,
Sara

I love Bottega Louie - it's one of my favorites in L.A.
My daughter used these cookies to decorate her wedding cake. They looked amazing!
