A near perfect Butter Croissant! I knew they had won for Best Baguette in Paris 2017, so I was…read morecurious to try their croissants. Just took me a while to head down to the 13eme. I had went down to check out the Street Art on Rue Buot and recognized Brun on my walk back. Wow, my assumption was more than correct as it tasted amazing. I wouldn't be surprised if they come close to winning Best Croissant this year if they got the shape of the croissant uniform in shape. That's the only thing missing. I spent the last few visits in Paris trying all the current, past and fan favorite croissants and Brun is in my top 5. A perfect all-butter croissant, or croissant au beurre should be the right balance of distinct thin flaky layers and a melt-in-your-mouth buttery, a hint of sweet and slightly chewy dough. It should be uniform in shape, cooked until golden and have a slight sheen with a touch of salt. Lastly, it should make a loud crunch as you bite into it leaving crumbs on your face and clothing. The chocolate croissant was a bit different from the others I've tried, almost had a Nutella flavor. Good but not my favorite although was any good the prettiest.
