Those with a sweet tooth need not fret because Charlotte has so many fantastic dessert offerings. Heres a sampling of some of the best desserts around from sophisticated bread pudding to the most delicious cupcakes.
Bistro La Ban
The French restaurant nestled in a strip mall right in the center of Plaza Midwood is known for its Sunday Brunch and its amazing French entrees but the real treat at Bistro La Bon is suppers epilogue. The Bourbon Brioche Bread Pudding on showcase here is a staple, featuring a thick, rich caramel sauce, creamy vanilla ice cream, and garnished with raspberries and other accoutrement. It is to die for.

Amelie’s French Bakery
The hip NoDa locale is slammed packed with hungry guests there both for the food and the all-inclusive atmosphere. When you open the door to Amelies and take in the wonderful aroma and delicious views staring back at you from behind the glass counter adjacent to the entrance, you immediately become even hungrier. But they can oblige, with a large dessert menu full of all kinds of baked goods including macarons, brownies, tarts, puffs, croissants, and much more. You cant go wrong with any of your selections but the salted caramel brownie has a reputation that precedes itself.
