Ruelo

The layout of the store (pics are all courtesy of M.C)

We originally went for cake since it was my friend's birthday, but they had like 2 types of cake available on a Friday night and neither were appealing to us...so we had a macaron party!

Our selection of macarons! Clockwise from the top left: Rose Lychee Raspberry, Vanilla, Blueberry Lemon, another Rose Lychee Raspberry, Ruelo, another Ruelo and Passionfruit (aka. the hamburger look-a-like). Prices ranged from $2.50 a macaron to $3 per macaron --> I spent $9 on $3 macarons including tax - I think that's a pretty good handle of how much they cost here. 

 

Up close view of the macarons - you can totally see the hamburger! 

In general, my friends and I were not that impressed by the macarons at Ruelo, they were super crumbly when we tried to divide them up to share and some of the combination of flavours did not work well together (case in point - blueberry lemon, the foot was "blueberry" but really it just tasted like a blue food colouring cookie with lemon curd in the middle - we weren't impressed). The Ruelo was good, but one out of five macarons would not entice us to come back to have macarons here again.
