We were invited to dinner by a local family and wanted to bring dessert. We picked the right…read moreplace. The eclairs (in an assortment of buttery yet light flavors of cream fillings) were nothing short of outstanding. My daughter preferred the caramel, my husband the pistachio, and I the hazelnut. But then, 2 days later, I was blown away by a Paris-Brest like eclair -- think éclair shaped sandwich of buttery pastry with almond cream filling sprinkled with powdered sugar and crumbled toasted almonds. I'd return to Strasbourg for that dessert. Back to the night before: both our hosts and we were transported by the Mont Blanc, a chestnut and cassis dessert that was unique in both appearance and flavor. Don't miss it. Our hosts, both French born, said they'd never tasted such a delicious version of that dessert, and that the addition of cassis was unique and genius of this pâtissier. Also, for what it's worth, the elegant woman in the shop was lovely.
In short, for the best French pastry in Strasbourg, don't bother going elsewhere.
