Crumpets with Sea Urchin Garnish by Elodie Marion, Mimi’s

Elodie's signature patisserie marries with the rich flavours of the sea

Since the dreamy, waterfront dining experience that is Mimi’s at Coogee Pavilion was launched in 2020, Elodie has captivated Sydney’s food scene with her innovative desserts.

At Narooma, her simple yet revolutionary dish melded a classic crumpet with exceptional South Coast Sea Urchin tongues to create an unforgettable blend of patisserie and the sea.
