Year 9 French Lunch Outing

by Andrew Rudnytsky, Year 9

As a great way to end a great term, our Year 9 French class travelled to 'Noisette', an authentic French café in Bentleigh.

Upon our arrival, we glanced upon a vast array of cakes, breads and treats, all prepared in a French style. This heightened our anticipation and excitement for what was to follow.

We were first presented with ‘chocolats chauds’ or tea, and following that, with pastries, baguettes, sandwiches, quiches and cake.

Unsurprisingly, we all devoured the delicious food presented to us! We also learnt from Madame Dickens about the traditional French cakes: éclairs, opéras, mille feuilles, to list a few.

I am absolutely sure that everyone came away well nourished, and with greater knowledge of French cuisine. All in all, it was a great way to end a great term. Merci!
