Pix Patisserie

When looking for a totally awesome dessert restaurant in Portland, Pix Patisserie pops up on every list you come across. After visiting this bakery/bar last night, I could see why! The decor has a warm, French-chic feel to it with red damask walls, small and closely-placed tables, and two large pastry counters filled with French pastries and confections for customers to gawk at and order from.

From macarons to St. Honoré cake, there were so many delicious and beautiful-looking French desserts. Oh, and they have a HUGE drinks menu to accompany your treat! They even have decks of cards for people to play with, which Adam and I took full advantage of. Needless to say, I beat Adam 3 out of 5 games of Crazy 8's. ;)

Adam and I split a warm Queen of Sheba Truffle Cake (chocolate almond cake with molten chocolate in the center) with Tahitian Vanilla Bean ice cream. They definitely didn't skimp out on the almond/chocolate flavor and the ganache was a nice surprise in the middle. And you can never go wrong with warm cake and ice cream!

This place is a gem, and I can't wait to go back and try more of their desserts!
