5 stars for uniqueness and creativity in their savory macarons. This is yet another chocolate / macaron shop / patisserie at the Halles de Lyon - Paul Bocuse, but what caught my eye was their more interesting macaron flavors. They had the usual fruit ones like mango-lychee, cassis, passionfruit milk chocolate, etc, but the savory ones were very unique: - Foie gras: I've only had this as an amuse at restaurants - Gorgonzola and sesame: odd but interesting, intense - Mushroom: strong mushroom flavor, very savory, like a hearty mushroom soup The unique flavors are worth checking out! read more

Items Selected: Baba Au Rhum Raspberry St. Honore Paris Brest with Strawberry and Verbena Pistachio Raspberry Mille-Feuille Iberico Macaron Foie Gras Macaron Morel and Mushroom Macaron Gorgonzola Sesame Macaron Strawberry Macaron Rum Raisin Macaron Pistachio Macaron Salted Caramel Macaron Having already perused Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse during previous days, but holding off on anything but a few souvenirs until the end of the trip, it was stop three of the morning that saw me pay visit to Seve Patisserie, and with no less than sixty confections ranging from chocolates to cookies and cakes the opportunity to overindulge proved far too tempting to be ignored. Located straight-left from the entrance, easily the largest pastry counter in a gourmet food corridor housing some of the city's most famous purveyors, Maison Seve was originally founded in 1905 and currently helmed by great-grandson Richard with five locations dotting Lyon the products remain an evolving work of passion - the 1999 Patissier of the Year even taking claim for being the creator of the world's first savory Macaron. No doubt a daunting display, at least two-dozen brightly colored jewels behind glass imploring passers-by to stop and take a taste, it was with chocolates purchased for friends that the order initiated, and quickly moving to pastry a dozen more items were selected, each item carefully boxed with white glove treatment and the 32€ tariff paid before taking the goods to a nearby table to be enjoyed. Admittedly sporting a substantial sweet tooth, but not one to forgo signature items no matter how strange, it was with macarons that the Seve tasting began and although the sapor of the duck liver mousse between two cookies was substantially subdued by sugar the textures and flavors of every other variety featured a crisp break melting into creamy indulgence - the morel mushroom and Gorgonzola particularly punchy while the rum raisin was boozed up in just the right way. Offering modern twists on classics as the foundation of its brand, four entremets were selected next from Seve's seasonal collection, and with a pipette of rum piercing an already moist baba the clever trick allowed for customization beneath candied orange peel while both choux pastries dialed up summer fruits for a very natural and subdued sweetness, the hole-less brest particularly impressive with light notes of citrus as the St. Honore and crispy Mille-feuille saw raspberries used in forms both whole and jellied to help balance out their respective fillings of cream. read more

My guy had been to Les Halles before and remembered buying unusal flavoured macaron. We worked our way up and down every aisle and kept peering into the macaron cases, but didn't find anything particularly noteworthy. Of course, Seve was one of the last places we came across, and they do indeed have unusual flavours. They have a selection of savoury macarons, including foie gras, ham, and mushroom. All are worth a try although we didn't find them life changing. Sweet flavours are available in the traditional citrus and pistachio and vanilla, but also in more unusual flavours such as green tea and cherry cola (which I was surprised to absolutely love). I'd strongly recommend filling up a box to explore, and don't forget to take a photo of the display signs, otherwise you won't remember whether you're about to bite into ham or salted caramel! English was spoken, and they accept US credit cards. read more

AMAZING macarons!!! Probably the best I've ever had, not too sugary with a great cookie texture (crunchy yet soft on the inside) and good balance of cookie and filling. The sweet ones are great, particularly the salted caramel one, with real salted caramel in the middle, but what truly shines are the unique and unexpectedly delicious savory macarons, with flavors like foie gras, olive, mushroom, and gorgonzola. Go, and get a large box of these for yourself. It'll be very hard to share! Unfortunately, the boxes aren't very sturdy so not very good if you're travelling or want to bring some home to another country, unless you're extremely careful with them. ----------------------------------------------------- Les meilleurs macarons que j'ai jamais manges! Pas trop sucree, avec une bonne texture a la fois craquante et tendre, et un bon equilibre entre le biscuit et la ganache. Les macarons sucres sont tres bons, particulierement celui au caramel sal, avec du vrai caramel a l'interieur. Mais ce qui est vraiment unique et delicieuse, ce sont les macarons sales, avec des parfums comme le foie gras, l'olive, les champignons, et le gorgonzola. Allez maintenant et obtenez une grande boite! Il sera tres difficile de les partager. Malheureusement, les boites pour les macarons ne sont pas tres fortes, ainsi ce sera un peu difficile si vous voyagez et voulez apportez quelques-uns a un autre pays. read more
