Ganache Pâtisserie in Vancouver is the culmination of a lifelong dream for owner and pastry chef Peter Fong, who has fostered a love of baking since high school. “When I traveled to Paris and saw all of the high-end pastry shops there, it really solidified that dream, and I decided to bring a taste of that to Vancouver,” says Peter.
Peter completed the Baking and Pastry Arts program at the Dubrulle International Hotel and Culinary Institute, and later apprenticed at several of British Columbia’s finest hotels – including the Fairmont Château Whistler, the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and the Delta Pinnacle Harbourside – in order to obtain his Red Seal certificate. After years of training and refining his culinary skills, he opened Ganache Pâtisserie in 2003, bringing his signature Parisian pastries and desserts to the heart of Vancouver's trendy Yaletown neighbourhood.

My wife and I have a sweet tooth and we've been to quite a few of those dessert places. Hands down, Ganache is the best around. It's a little bit pricey (about $6 for an individual pastry), but they're sooo good that we don't mind paying a little extra for excellent quality in return. We've tried many of their pastries, and some standouts for us are: Chocolat-Caramel for those with a sweet tooth; I consider this one a "classic" in my book with its slightly crunchy crust and layer of caramel covering the dark chocolate mousse with raspberry filling. Yum! The "Concorde Praliné" is great, too. If you prefer "not too sweet", the "Mango-Chocolat" pastry is also very good. Ganache Patisserie is definitely one of the gems of Yaletown!

View this Smart ListOne of the earlier bakeries to focus on French pastries and confections, Ganache in Yaletown remains low-key on the dessert scene despite its enticing array of beautiful cakes. But the neighbourhood does flock here for the dark-hued croissants, double-baked to crispy, satisfying effect. Light, springy and chewy, the butter taste abounds, which becomes physically evident from your shiny fingers after ripping it apart. All the better for licking afterwards.
