Calling all adventurous foodies, Merci Marcel is the cafe to visit with its unique rendition of the classic lemon meringue pie. If you're tired of sticking to the classics, try something new with this deconstructed dessert [$12]!
The dessert is served with a dollop of lemon curd sat atop a base of buttery biscuit crumble and a side of torched meringue. The sweet biscuit crumbs add a new depth of flavour when eaten alongside the tangy lemon curd, with the meringue providing a well-rounded flavour as the finishing touch!
