If you're looking for pastries that are as stunning as they are delicious, Fillings & Emulsions…read moreabsolutely delivers. Their fruit-shaped creations are little works of art--so realistic it almost feels wrong to eat them... almost. Each pastry is fresh, light, and packed with flavor. The pistachio was incredibly tasty, though definitely on the richer side, so it's one you might want to savor slowly. The raspberry had a beautifully balanced sweetness with a vibrant, delicious filling. The lemon was very zingy--almost intensely so--but still delightful if you enjoy bold citrus flavors (just maybe not an entire one in a single sitting). The standout, though, was the mango. Easily the winner. It had such a bright, powerful flavor, and the fresh mango inside made every bite feel special. Everything about it--from taste to presentation--was just beautiful. The only slight letdown was the macarons. While still good, they didn't quite match the intensity and uniqueness of the pastries and felt a bit underwhelming in comparison. Overall, this place is a must-visit if you appreciate creative, high-quality desserts. It's clear a lot of skill and care goes into every piece. I loved the building that the pastry shop was in, as it had a "lunch room" feel to it. There are a few restaurants inside so there are options and there's plenty of seating.

I'm the first to admit that I am influenced by social media. So when my fiancé and I just so…read morehappened to be in the area, we had to stop and get a little treat. The sweet cashier recommended Strawberry & Mango, so that's what we got. They were delicious! I think the mango was my personal favorite. The crunch of the chocolate coating was so satisfying and the fillings soft and gooey. It didn't feel artificial either! The location is in a food mall, which I wasn't expecting but it was so cute inside. I wish we had more time to check out the other vendors but we'll have to come back. On a separate note, it was kind of hard to find a trash can.

This hidden gem should stay hidden. It's a very beautiful place, but extremely smoky inside. Your…read moreeyes start stinging the second you walk in, and somehow the smoke follows you through the entire meal. We were quoted a 10-15 minute wait despite there being multiple open tables everywhere, which already set the tone. The person at the front also seemed like greeting guests was a personal inconvenience. Not exactly the warm welcome you'd expect from a place trying this hard to look aesthetic. To make things worse, several pastries sitting in the front display were visibly burnt. Not "artisan charred" -- just burnt. The pastries we ordered were actually good, which makes the rest of the menu even more disappointing. We tried the soft scramble, pork cheek tartine, truffle tartine, and mushroom fettuccine. Everything looked beautiful but tasted either burnt, bland, or both. Every toast item arrived burnt enough that you could taste it in every bite. Our server came by often to refill waters and check on us, but the service somehow still felt oddly impersonal. Since the restaurant wasn't busy at all, it also made us wonder how attentive the service would be during an actual rush. Honestly, this place feels more focused on looking trendy than serving good food. Stick to the pastries if you go -- it's the only thing worth ordering.

Leona our server - retook our order and kept our water and coffee filled. As they got busy service began to slow- special drinks slowly got delivered - and we had a noticeable wait for our food. But the atmosphere is very nice and our company awesome so it wasn't as noticeable. Food came out hot - which told us the kitchen was busy but our server was delivering the food quickly. Everything was delicious- well seasoned and perfect temperature- soft scramble look yummy - the Benedict so good they made it a yummy meatless dish! The eggs poached well and served with peas a really neat compliment to the dish. Mushroom pasta looked very good and I'll have to order it next time. Funghi pizza was excellent- the béchamel was excellent and melody of mushrooms yummy- crust was good a bit dark on the top but bottom crust good. Overall we weren't in a rush so the wait wasn't too bad - the food is excellent and worth the wait

And the person at the counter was so knowledgeable about the items and quick to answer our questions. No risk of accidental dairy, since nothing they make has any! I first tried their carrot cake (no pics, so good I forgot) and was blown away- no one would know it was DF/GF, it seemed like sorcery that it could be that excellent! It was all the spices/raisins/carrots in a medium-dense cake and a frosting I couldn't believe was DF. The lemon and PB bars are also ridiculously good. The "cheezecake" is a little odd (but still good) compared to everything else we tried, probably because it lacks eggs and I'm not sure what the replacement is. It seems to be a to-go and catering/event place. Will definitely return to try more stuff!

I got a strawberry Mojito without alcohol. They have a fancy name, but I forgot. I asked for recommendations and they gave me quite a few amazing things to think about. I ended up with the steak salad and French toast. They were so good. I want to go back tomorrow to eat it again. I've seen they plated it a little differently on salads. So I wasn't sure how this would be. Every steak was so tender and perfectly seasoned. The shaved brussels sprout was delicious and the avocado was perfect. They were kind enough to change the cheese. I'm still thinking about that salad and beef. The French toast was so good. I wish I took a picture of the bottom so you could see how much vanilla and cinnamon and yumminess was at the bottom of this French toast. The maple syrup was real maple syrup because you could taste it. I was so happy The bathrooms were big and clean and they had period products into women's bathroom. .

We found Parfé Diem after dinner at Taverna, and what began as "let's just split a dessert" turned…read moreinto one of those unexpected experiences you keep talking about afterward. We ordered the seasonal Hot Chocolate parfait: Mexican-style chocolate pudding, raspberries, warm spices and scratch-made chocolate wafers. Calling it pudding almost sells it short. The texture was light, whipped and closer to mousse, while the raspberries cut through the chocolate perfectly. It was indulgent without feeling like a brick after dinner. We shared one, which was financially responsible but emotionally questionable because neither of us really wanted to surrender the next bite. Then we met Parker, the owner, baker and designer behind the whole concept. He spoke openly with us about relocating from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, taking the leap into entrepreneurship and the challenges of building a small, independent multicultural business around a dessert category most people think they already understand. What struck us was that the creativity was not limited to the menu. Parker's personality is all over the space, from the name and playful branding to the colors, presentation and wonderfully odd idea of turning pudding into a destination. It feels personal because it is personal. I looked up Parfé Diem afterward and discovered that it has been named Utah's Best Comfort Food, won both Food & Beverage Business and overall Business of the Year from the Utah Black Chamber, landed on Yelp's Top 100 Local Businesses and earned national recognition through Daymond John and the NAACP. After spending time with Parker and tasting what he has created, none of that feels surprising. Salt Lake City has plenty of places selling cookies and ice cream. Parfé Diem created its own lane. That deserves attention, especially when the result tastes this good. Five stars for the dessert, the originality and the human being behind it. We will absolutely return, but next time I'm ordering my own.
