Lune Croissanterie is well known institute dedicated to make croissants. It's not only known as number one croissant in Melbourne but one of the best in the world. Lining up in the morning to get their croissant is a must for visitors who does not live in Melbourme, it becomes an iconic part of Melbourne journey. Don't get me wrong, this croissant also still very much love by local Melbournians.

My friend is a big fan of lune, she's the one who line up early in the morning and gave me my first lune croissant. Last year, she attended her very first lune lab and it was amazing according to her. She got this croquembouche. She invited me in for the next one, she even has an alarm on her phone to remind her when the next lune lab tickets will be available online. Thanks to her skill, we got in. It's a double date.

Classic Lune Croissant. You get a choice between soft and crispy, my husband and 1 each picked a different one so we can taste both. Croissant by it self is so good, flakky, buttery and warm. No other flavour needed, really! It leaves a warm sensation in your belly, comforting, perfect for early morning or anytime of the day!

Second Course - Tomato Panzanella salad from Tuscany with olive oil, heirloom tomatoes, croissant croutons and cheese. Did not expect this at all! Wow! Heirloom tomatoes salad made by lune from Italy. Very summery and the cheese taste delicious with the super crunchy croissant croutons. How can I ever get back to regular croutons now?

Dessert Course: Croissant Sundae with croissant brittle, lychee rose sorbet, rose white chocolate crumble, buttermilk ice cream. Even though I'm very full but I keep digging my spoon through this dish cause it was delicious. Everything was not too sweet but the taste of croissant on every bite is what made me come back for more. They did corporate croissant to three component of this dish.

Lune Lab is available every couple of months, seats are limited and pre book is a must. The ticket sold out very fast every time, so be prepare. It cost $65 per person for 3 course and unlimited drinks. Kids are welcome but there's no spare seat most of the time. But my kid was happy running around the store and sit on their high stool chair while tasting his dad croissants, so all good for us. The host was funny, friendly also insightful.
