The fifth-annual Metro Vancouver Croissant Crawl returns Sept. 25 through Oct. 4, and the food event will change the way you think about the venerated Viennoiserie.

Article content

This year’s event sees 38 limited-edition croissants made available via various vendors throughout the city. To create the mouth-watering menu of offerings available during the festival, each outpost has dreamed up a creative spin on the classic bites.

Creations include the banoffee windmill croissant from chef Nasser Saleh at Daan Go Cake Lab, which features a conical windmill croissant filled with a banana mascarpone cream and caramelized banana confit, and the croissant bourguignon from Wren Cafe, which sees a croissant cup filled with braised beef in a red wine reduction. There’s a take on a forever favourite — pizza — that sees a crispy croissant from Nomad topped with melted cheese and sliced rounds of salty pepperoni.
