le fournil gourmand, rue du general galieni, noumea

don't you just love it when you are travelling in a foreign place & you take a turn that lands you finding something fabulous?...it doesn't always happen like that...i have had some shockers ending up in industrial or simply dodgy suburbs!  we were on our last port of call whilst cruising the pacific and within 20 minutes of leaving the boat (we went in the opposite direction to all the other passengers!) we found this gem of a patisserie.  it was perfect timing for breakfast so we ordered several tasty looking treats & shared them amongst the four of us...the stand out was the palmier! seriously delicious...the 8yr old declared it was the tastiest thing she had eaten EVER!

their coffee was not to our liking but who cares when everything else was superb!

A very nice little discovery despite the ordinary coffee. Just look at that golden cheese!
