Best Canelés de Bordeaux in Bordeaux

The city's signature pastry and a true symbol of Bordeaux. A small, fluted cake with a caramelized, dark brown crust and a soft, custard-like center flavored with rum and vanilla. Legend says they were created by nuns using egg yolks left over from the wine-fining process. A perfect canelé must have a distinct contrast between the crunchy exterior and the moist interior. It is the ultimate sweet treat to accompany a morning coffee or an afternoon tea.
