Gastronomy is a Russian-style bakery and delicatessen in Albany, on the North Shore, at 19/270 Oteha Valley Road. Its website calls the shop Gastronom and says it opened in 2015 as a cake shop, so it is a place for pastries, cakes and savoury baking in the Russian tradition.
The bakery makes pies, pirozhki, blini, bread and cakes made to order, as well as dumplings such as pelmeni, vareniki and manti, and house-made sausages and lard. The website says the baking uses real eggs and butter and no preservatives. To order a cake, customers call or visit the shop to talk through their wishes with the pastry chef. Our view is that it is a useful stop for Russian and Eastern European baking on the North Shore.
