Pierre Hermé If you…read moreknow Pierre Hermé from social media and all the viral videos, then this review needs no introduction. But if you haven't, this is a strong contender for worthy macarons in Paris and at a convenient location across the street from Ladurée. Located inside L'Occitane in the most gorgeous floor space ever, you will find Pierre Hermé at the center of it all. They have an impressive array of flavors that were much more unique than other patisseries. I definitely asked for a few recommendations as well since I tend to order the same thing (pistachio, raspberry, lemon, etc.) The workers were very kind. They indulged my request to converse in French and corrected me in a respectful and endearing way (I know some people get upset at this idea but I personally prefer it.) I had ordered a dozen macarons but truthfully would've ordered the entire lot if I wasn't alone and especially if I wasn't already taking a ton of sweets back for my flight home. I am a Ladurée purist and what I can say is that Pierre Hermé definitely had the best and most unique flavors compared to the two. The prices are fairly comparable and the coffrets are just as tasteful. Both are strong contenders and worthy of your money. I certainly will be returning and look forward to trying the rest of their selection. (15/50--2025)

Okay okay...I know Pierre Hermé is a super touristy macaron shop, and the Pierre Hermé on Champs…read moreElysée is probably the MOST touristy you can get, but I can't help but give this place five stars. Pierre Hermé is home to some of the best macarons I've had in my life -- which is probably too many for the good of my health -- and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the macarons, the staff's attention to detail, and all the unique flavors this shop had to offer. As a popular macaron shop in one of the hottest tourist destinations in Paris, this location is undeniably crowded. There's usually a huge line circling around a central display of macaron after macaron. The line looks pretty intimidating, but it moves quite quickly, and there are so many flavors that it'll probably be helpful to have a bit of extra time to review the menu. My friend and I split a pack of four macarons, including their seasonal isapahan (rose, lychee, raspberry), infiniment praliné pistache, and a jardin de cassandre (red currant, rhubarb). The macarons were delightful. I loved the two seasonal items; they were delightfully fruity and slightly floral, and I loved the slightly tangy flavor from the raspberry in the isapahan and rhubarb / currants in the jardin de cassandre. The praliné pistache was nice and nutty, and the inner cream offered a great additional richness. It's usually super crowded so seating tends to be quite limited. My friend and I ended up taking our macarons to go and enjoyed them elsewhere as we toured Champs Elysée.

Déception avec un café mocha - Service et préparation frustrants…read moreHier matin, j'ai commandé un café mocha dans votre établissement et j'ai reçu une boisson parfaitement préparée : espresso, lait chaud et la juste dose de chocolat. En soirée, lorsque je suis revenu pour une version à emporter de la même boisson, j'ai vécu une expérience très frustrante. La caissière ne semblait pas connaître le terme " café mocha ". J'ai patiemment expliqué à plusieurs reprises que je souhaitais simplement la même boisson que celle que j'avais appréciée le matin même. Le barista chargé de la préparation n'était non seulement pas familier avec la recette standard, mais s'est montré impoli et dédaigneux. Malgré mes clarifications répétées, il a préparé la commande à contrecœur. Le résultat fut une boisson froide, sans aucune mousse de lait - rien à voir avec la qualité du matin. Après avoir passé beaucoup trop de temps à expliquer et à attendre, j'étais tellement épuisé par l'interaction que j'ai fini par accepter la boisson ratée sans prolonger la situation. Si l'on peut comprendre qu'une caissière ne soit pas une experte en café, le barista qui manipule la machine à café devrait parfaitement maîtriser les recettes classiques comme le café mocha et traiter les clients avec courtoisie et professionnalisme. Je suggère respectueusement au responsable de former correctement le personnel sur les boissons de base et les standards de service client afin que cela ne se reproduise plus. Cette expérience a été à la fois frustrante et inacceptable pour une commande simple et pourtant basique. J'espère que ce retour d'expérience permettra d'améliorer le service pour les futurs clients.

Le Cinq is the three star Michelin restaurant inside the George V Hotel in Paris. Their website describes as: 'A Paris destination in its own right, Le Cinq by Christian Le Squer is synonymous with the apex of French modern and elegant cuisine, paired with the rarest wines selected by award-winning Head Sommelier Eric Beaumard. Its three Michelin stars are a reflection of the gastronomic experience of a lifetime - in one of the city's most majestic dining rooms.' In agreement with the Four Seasons description of Le Cinq, and as a hotel guest, reservations to dine was imperative. The ten course tasting menu was exquisite; plating presentation was beautiful and superlative. Among the highlights are the amuse bouche, pain et beurre, caviar cones, the seabass with ossetra caviar in buttermilk, Dublin bay prawns, foie gras, decadent chocolat blanc and of course the regional fromagé!! Not including the recommended wine pairings menu was probably a regrettable choice but keeping my mind sharply focus for work the following morning was my reasoning to graciously decline. Service was cordial and exemplary... it's staff of hommes were très beau.
