A bakery in Sydney is creating quite the buzz online after they revealed a luxurious approach to the typical Aussie dish – meat pies.
Lode Pies and Pastries, a Sydney-based bakery known for its breathtaking pastries and desserts, is now raising the bar for the classic meat pie.
In fact, the company is already making customers swoon with what could arguably be the most luxurious take on the classic meat pie in the country – their handmade luxury pies, which are now available for $20 a piece.
To make Lode's original version of the meat pie – which they call the LuMi pithvier – the bakery spends three days crafting the individual pastries from scratch using butter from France, locally-sourced organic flour, wagyu beef brisket, and shiitake mushrooms.
On top of everything, the pastry also comes with a 'chimney' at the top where customers can pour in a special chicken gravy before taking a bite of the pie.
You are not likely to see an obvious sign outside shop windows, but dozens have been spotted outside the bakery in Surry Hills as foodies flock to try the meal.
One customer said: 'Along with your almond croissant, this is possibly the best thing I've ever eaten in my life! Life changing!'
'This Lumi pithivier won my heart today!' another wrote.
A third chimed in: 'Goodness me. Just stunning.'
'Had my first one ever last week! Sensational experience!' a fourth added.
Since opening its doors in early November of last year, Sydney bakery 'Lode Pies and Pastries' has been catering to the public in limited hours after customers caught wind of their Instagrammable sweet and savoury treats.
The little pink bakery on Crown Street in Surry Hills has captured the attention of hundreds online thanks to its range of flaky pastries and stylish decor.
The Crown on 487 pastry—which one customer called the 'FOMO (fear of missing out) dish of 2021'—is one of their most sought-after items. The Crown on 487 is a braided ring of croissant dough filled with raspberry and white chocolate glaze and decorated with rose and pistachios.
Other dishes that excite the palate are their Blueberry tart with macadamia frangipane, blueberry jam, cream cheese crème patissiere, fresh blueberries, and lime zest in a croissant dough nest and the Banana, Chocolate and Peanut Pastries followed by the Almond and Caramelised White Chocolate Treat.
Lode Pies and Pastries is open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 8 am until sold out.
They are located at 487 Crown Street in Surrey Hills. For more information, please visit their website.
