Madeleine De Proust Pop-Up Afternoon Tea at Yugen Tea Bar

Sat Apr 18, 2026

1pm–3:30pm

605 Chapel Street, South Yarra

Price: $75 for Broadsheet Access members

Welcome to dainty French cake heaven, as the duo behind Melbourne’s cult madeleine bakery launch their debut cookbook.

Patisserie perfecters Hyo Ju Park and Rong Yao Soh, who’ve both worked in Michelin-starred restaurants, opened Madeleine de Proust Patisserie in 2023. Turning out a wide array of seashell-shaped bakes – all with a signature bump – the bakery relies on the duo’s meticulous approach to culinary arts honed in some of the world’s best kitchens.

Now they’ve channelled their know-how into a book for home bakers, Madeleines: Simple Bakes for Every Mood, and Broadsheet Access members can get a taste of what they’re cooking at an exclusive pop-up afternoon tea at Yugen Tea Bar on Saturday April l8.

Guests at the event can expect four courses dedicated to Soh and Park’s favourite treat, including a mini madeleine flight (featuring five bite-size pieces) and further rounds of classic and more experimental flavours. Drinks, including tea and alcohol, will be available for purchase on the day, as will copies of the book.
