La Fossette

A small takeaway shop in Taipei run alone by a French owner, baking canelés in batches alongside Nantes cakes and almond cookies. The canelés carry a strong liqueur aroma, a thin crisp shell and a soft, moist centre that firms as it cools.

Highlights

  • Liqueur canelés
  • Lemon Nantes cake
  • Caramel almond cookies

Good to know

  • Canelés baked in limited hourly batches
  • Queues and per-person limits at busy times
