New Eats: Monplaisir Delicacies

There’s a sweet new shop in town.

Located inside The Core Shopping Centre, Monplaisir Delicacies, an adorable French and Belgian pastry shop, has stolen our hearts—really, who can resist brightly coloured pastry pyramids and Belgian chocolates? Anyone with a sweet tooth/teeth will find something they love among the endless flavours of French macarons, including Chocolate Coconut, Nutella and seasonally inspired Pumpkin Cinnamon, as well as insanely good Neuhaus Belgian Chocolate.

Plus, you can up your gift giving-game by sending a sweet treat to a special someone—Monplaisir ships clear across the country! —Sara Samson
