Paul Croteau Confections Now Available At Oakridge Mall…

A few years ago after enjoying a few courses at Fuel (now Refuel), I distinctly recall enjoying desserts made by a pastry chef I’d never heard of before. His name was Paul Croteau, and my wife and I fell in love with his creations straight away. He was also something of a character. “It’s funny,” I remember c0-owner Tom Doughty telling me that night, “when all the main courses are finished he sort of takes over, telling the kitchen to quiet down, saying ‘Shh…it’s my turn now’”.

A few months ago, after working for over a year with chef Jeremie Bastien at Gastown’s Boneta, Croteau returned to Refuel, where he is now in charge of desserts, as well as those at sister restaurant Campagnolo. Together with Doughty and chef Robert Belcham, he’s just opened Paul Croteau Confections, a retail kiosk in Oakridge Shopping Center, where you can find his assorted macaroons, cookies, candies and other assorted goodies.
