Renauds Patisserie & Bistro

If there is a heaven, I want to be greeted with a platter of Renaud's macarons, fried egg sandwich, pain au chocolat, and raspberry charlotte cake! Sweet dreams are made of these... We recently discovered Renaud's on our hunt for a small wedding cake for our September wedding in Santa Barbara. We are out-of-towners, and we know our French pastries having sampled the finest in Paris. So of course we had to come in a few times to sample the goods -- for research's sake. (-; I am convinced that these delicious creations are almost too good for mere mortals such as ourselves, "almost" being the operative word. Only the best would do, and Renaud did not disappoint. We worked with Nicole, his wife, who was great to work with. Renaud created a heart shaped raspberry and vanilla bean cake. It was the most delicious thing -- I think I heard the gods sing! Now that the wedding is over, I am not so weight conscious. You know what that means... more trips to Santa Barbara to try more of Renaud's delicacies. Can't wait!

WoW!! Thats the only way I can describe our wedding cake. We left the design up to renaud and our wedding planner and the design, detail, and flavor were amazing! My mother in law was still talking about that cake yesterday.... 2 months after the wedding. Renaud and Nicole come highly recommended!

Exquisite pastries and delicious wedding cake that have guests asking for seconds and thirds! Beautiful presentation and excellent service with attention to detail in every step. Renaud uses the freshest ingredients in everything he prepares. Stop by his bistro for a taste of his savory quiches, or to marvel in the pastry window's display. Highly recommended!
