Fou de Pâtisserie fell onto my radar when collecting pâtisseries to check out while in Paris. We…read morehad finished lunch but were looking for some sweets before heading back to the hotel for a breather. I noticed this place was close-by, so off we went. Fou isn't a large space, really only enough for a queue to form and the staff to stand behind the counter. Unlike a traditional pâtisserie, there is no baking done on premises here. Instead, they import bakes from other pâtisseries and pastry chefs and sell them here. They had a good selection, with each having a label that tells where it came from and/or who the pasty chef was that created it. We decided on three pastries and a slice of cake - they were running a special where if we ordered three bakes then we could get a fourth for a discount. Each of the bakes were quite good - my favorite was the lemon which had great flavor while also being intricately decorated. Overall though, all our selections were high quality. Service was fast and friendly, and overall I had a good experience at Fou de Pâtisserie. It's a great option to get Paris' "greatest hits" from all over the city.

This was one of the stops on the Paris by Mouth (Left Bank) tour. Not a bakery itself, but works…read morewith smaller pastry chefs around Paris. All the gorgeous pastries have signage indicating the maker of the treat. I visited this location as well as the location within the BHV on Rue Rivoli while I was in Paris. They both offered a lovely selection of treats! The caramel brûlée pâte à choux was quite possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life - a sweet caramel cream filling and a crispy brûlée sugar top. I also tried the pistachio tart (salty, not very sweet) , the pear and almond tart (very fresh, not super sweet, and gorgeous), and the chocolate praliné tart (very rich, dark, and indulgent). Overall, this is definitely a patisserie that I will seek out on a future trip to Paris!

When you come to Paris, you just have to visit Angelina--it's quintessential Parisian indulgence…read moreand exactly what you come here for! We stopped by the flagship Rue de Rivoli location right by Place de la Concorde for breakfast. We arrived right around 9:30 AM and walked straight in with zero wait. Talk about great timing, by the time we sat down and looked outside, a huge line had already wrapped down the sidewalk. The decor is beautiful and timeless, pure classic French elegance with the chandeliers, mirrors, and gilded details. We were seated upstairs on the second floor, which gave us a lovely, relaxed vantage point away from the entrance rush. We ordered their breakfast set, which came loaded with two flaky croissants, fresh baguette with butter and jams, two eggs Benedict, fresh juice, and, of course, their legendary chocolat chaud africain. That hot chocolate is as thick, rich, and velvety as advertised, almost like drinking liquid ganache. We also couldn't leave without ordering their famous chestnut Mont-Blanc pastry, which was silky, sweet, and totally lived up to the hype. Even though the dining room filled up quickly and was bustling, the staff was attentive, polished, and very efficient. Loved the entire experience from start to finish, an absolute treat!

Oh my! This is the perfect Parisian brunch experience. The ambiance, the food, the aesthetic--it…read morewas truly everything! I believe there are two locations, and from what I understand, they don't take reservations, so be prepared to arrive early and wait in line. We arrived around 9:30 AM with a party of five girls and waited about 20 minutes for a table, which honestly wasn't bad at all. The menu is extensive, but they also offer three brunch options that I thought were very reasonably priced. I went with the €45 option, and there was SO much food! Pastries, a breakfast croissant, their famous hot chocolate, and even dessert--it was the perfect amount and such a fun way to try a little bit of everything. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. And I absolutely loved the slow, relaxed Parisian pace. Our waitress was so kind and attentive, and we never felt rushed. Instead, we were able to sit back, enjoy our food, and really soak in the experience. Between the beautiful setting, delicious food, and relaxed atmosphere, this is definitely a must-try for a Parisian brunch experience!
