French macarons was my first official food post for Babe for Food's debut in the blogosphere. If you don't remember or are clueless, just click here. I love these luxe cookies for their texture (light crisp shell and melt-in-your-mouth chewy interior) and the endless variety of flavors and colors they could come in.
Before this blog was born, Macaron Tango was already around, so it's been more than a year in existence. It only caught on a bit of popularity just lately this year. And it was not only til recently that I took my chance to visit them for none other than their much renowned glorious macarons.
(Sorry for the dim photos)

I noticed they had miniature macarons on top of the regular-sized ones which I found out were free samples! How adorable!

Macaron Tango is owned by a French family so you're guaranteed to find authentic French dishes here. This little, cozy French patisserie and cafe offers honestly good pastries and entrees such as quiche lorraine, cheesecakes, fresh salads and more that will keep you coming back.
As much as I wanted to try one of their entrees during this visit, my wallet was malnourished. So I had to settle for just the macarons. I had the pistachio, strawberry and vanilla. These are P40 a pop and P255 for a box of 6.

Not only can you eat their macarons, you can WEAR them too! Well, not for the guys, of course. I noticed an accessory collection of macaron necklaces and earrings hung on their wall by the counter. Quite pricey though! Necklaces for P300 and earrings for P400 (I don't know why the earrings are more expensive. O.O). But if you're that obsessed with these aristocrat cookies, why not?

Just this month, Macaron Tango has opened a new branch at BTC. They don't serve meals there but they do have lasagna and quiche if you want a heavy snack. Finally, one for the northern folks like me! :)

Hi! I assure you there are countless places and food to try in Cebu. If you've been here some time ago before, you'd be surprised at how much it's grown. :D
