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!

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!

I couldn't tell if this was a real apple or some fancy French creation made to look like one - that's how real it looked! The mousse and apple bits were cold & delicious and the chocolate shell was good, but not sure if it was worth the price at €7.5. + Pain Au Chocolat Cookie - Verrrry good chocolate chip cookie, chocolate croissant mashup. Only thing that we were missing was some good ol' milk! + Almond Croissant - Once again, delicious! Solid croissant and definitely a good grab and go candidate. = Citronnade - Was just OK. Lemonade that was on the watered down side, but was somewhat refreshing because I was dying of thirst. THE SERVICE ----------------------- - Employee who helped us with our order was friendly, but the cashier was a bit blah and not exactly the friendliest person, especially when we asked for extra utensils and napkins.

After visiting the Notre-Dame Cathedral, we walked over here for some sweets. They have a variety of flavors to choose from, stuffed inside the cream puff and also with icing on top. I picked the citron (lemon) flavor and highly enjoyed it! The cream puff was filled with lemon flavor and was a light, yet satisfying dessert. You'll need to make sure to try cream puffs in Paris and Odette has some great ones. I regret only getting one cream puff! Bonus points for being convenient located, just steps away from the Notre-Dame Cathedral.

I got a few pastries and it was still early enough that they were still warm! The Croissant was probably the best I had on this trip. It helped that the Croissant was fresh and warm, but it was also crispy on the outside and buttery & flaky on the inside. The Pain au Chocolat was also great but it could have used more chocolate for my liking. The Chausson aux Pommes was sweet, slightly acidic from the apples, and definitely heavier of the pastries. I've also never had fresh madeleines before and knew this would be the place to try them. The Madeleine Glacée were buttery and lightly sweet; these actually go so well with a cup of coffee or just a bite if you need a quick snack. All in all, great try!

We had just finished lunch, but since we were already exploring Montmartre, we decided to stop by…read moreCarette because it's one of those places almost everyone recommends, especially for its famous hot chocolate. Since it was a warm summer afternoon, I went for the Chocolat Glacé, their iced chocolate, which was a refreshing choice after walking around the neighborhood. We were too full to try any of the pastries, but the display was beautiful and made it very tempting to come back. In addition to their signature hot chocolate, they also offer a wonderful selection of French pastries, macarons, croissants, crêpes, and other sweet treats. One thing that's helpful to know before visiting is that the Montmartre branch is a takeaway pastry boutique rather than a full-service café or restaurant. Before arriving, I had imagined it would be more of a traditional Parisian tea salon with table service, but this location is designed for grabbing a drink or pastry to enjoy while exploring Place du Tertre. Knowing that beforehand helps set the right expectations. The staff member who assisted us at the counter was friendly and welcoming, making for a pleasant stop. The location itself is part of the experience. Right in the heart of Place du Tertre, surrounded by artists and the charm of Montmartre, it's an easy place to pop into for a sweet break while sightseeing. If you're visiting during the warmer months, I'd definitely recommend the iced chocolate. And if you have a bigger appetite than we did, the pastry selection looked impressive enough to make me want to return just for dessert.
