O M freakin' G!!!
I still can't stop thinking about how good the macarons here were. I got a box with four of the large ones (which were about the size of a hockey puck but not as thick) all to myself. The four flavors I got were pistachio, raspberry, dark chocolate ganache, and my favorite one, the salted butter caramel. The salted butter caramel was the first one I bit into and damn...I'm not sure but I think I saw god. The texture of the cookie was light but very flavorful and the butter caramel filling had the perfect consistency, not too gooey but just thick enough. The balance between cookie and filling was perfect as well. The other macarons were very good, too but the salted caramel was just out of this world.
We got a bunch of other things as well, like praline almonds dusted with dark cocoa powder and various filled chocolate morsels. All were incredibly good. They have so much treats to choose from, I wish I could spend a month in Rouen and eat a few things from here every day 'til I went through all they have to offer. read more
