Review from Wendy C.

Macaron prices vary by flavour, but nonetheless high. At these prices, they not only have to be the best in Toronto, but also up there with the best in the world. (remember, Pierre Hermé or Ladurée macarons sell for about 2 euro or 2 pound on the other side of the pound, and about $3 a piece in Ladurée New York City Upper East Side).
Is it the best in Toronto? Probably.
Is it better than what you could get from PH or Sadaharu Aoki or Dalloyau in Paris, for less money? Not really, perhaps a philosophical way of looking at this is that you save a plane ticket . We are lucky in Toronto to have that many good french patisseries. -

I attended the grand opening of this business on the weekend and was impressed by the variety and quality of the macarons. My favourite was definitely the raspberry lychee. Samples of the other goods on offer were okay, but I don't know if I would have paid the prices they ask for. An iced latte was $3+ and the 14 oz mug was filled with about 3/4 ice! I had to knock some of the ice in the garbage so I wouldn't spill it on myself.
Overall I was very surprised by the limited number of things for sale. The cakes looked very similar and beautiful, but to be honest I didn't try any because they looked like mousse or cheesecake and I'm not a big fan. I thought they would have more cakes with fondant and other types of pastries.
If you are a macaron aficionado, this is certainly the place for you (if you're willing to pay their prices). I hope they can stay in business but with this limited offering it might be a challenge.
Note - the tea here is amazing...and I never drink black tea otherwise! -

$5? For a Macaron!! That's my lunch there!
Ruelo Patisserie recently opens a second location just North of Yonge and Eglinton. I always a fan of Ruelo's macaron in the Richmond Hill's location and I am happy to see them expanding.
The Patisserie still smell like paint when I came by and they still putting in a lot of final touches before I would consider them "in business".
Black Truffle Macaron ($5) is made from real truffle shavings. I have to say I am bias as I always like macaron that has more complex flavour then just pure sweetness.... I would have to say I have a fan of the taste and concept. Since it is Ruelo grand opening, the owner was nice enough to offer this for me free to taste.
I also tried their Ruelo ($3) and Raspberry Lychee ($2.50) Macarons while sipping on an Americano ($2.50). They were all excellent...
This Ruelo Patisserie location will also has baked goods (bread) and of course pastries and cakes.
Welcome to the Neighbourhood! I wish them all the best and it will not be easy to compete with all these Patisserie in the area, this is NOT Richmond Hill!!
