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!

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!

We got the pack of 8 in a cute tin. These are definitely pricey but so delicious. The chocolate and hazelnut is one of my favorites but the pistachio is also delicious. Salted caramel and vanilla are also super delicious! Definitely make the stop to enjoy these!

If you ever come to Paris you need to check out Pierre Hermé. They have plenty of stores all around…read moreso you are bound to bump into one sooner or later. If you are a dessert type of person and love to eat some macarons why not give this place a shot? They have a wide range of flavors that I feel are unique and different. But I always stick with the same ones that I do enjoy which is anything with pistachio! Yum and delicious just a fair warning you have to eat these the day of or they will be old and hard! They are made daily and it is fresh so I would just suggest eating it when you buy it!

They have fresh bread, sweet and savory pastries, quiche and sandwiches. The staff is very friendly and speaks English. There's lots of locals getting breakfast so I knew it was a good choice. I got two quiches, one Lorraine and one broccoli and salmon, on my first visit. I went back for a ham and cheese one the next day. They heat it up for you if you ask. It's in the microwave so the heat isn't very even but it's still good. The crust is crispy and like a pie crust. The inside is tender and pudding-like. Very flavorful on all the varieties. I really enjoyed it. The size is pretty big, definitely good for one person's breakfast. Definitely worth a visit.

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.

Upon entering the bakery, I was greeted by the aroma of butter and the sight of neat rows of fresh pastries. I really wanted to try one of everything, but I was determined to try the pain au chocolat, a personal favorite. Le Grenier a Pain's pain au chocolat was much larger and heartier than others I've tried yet retained its buttery-flakiness without feeling too heavy. I really enjoyed the pillowy texture of the pain au chocolat, which included a generous amount of chocolate folded inside. Paired with a cafe au lait, I was in heaven. The bakery is small yet inviting, and there was no seating indoors or outdoors. While I was hoping to enjoy my pastry on-the-go, it started pouring outside, so I was forced to huddle underneath the awning while I consumed my pain au chocolat. While I'd definitley come back for another pain au chocolat, I would also want to sample their savory pastries on my next visit.

"Mon petit Claire, you were not the ball and chain! You are the Zeppelin!" - Paris, je t'aime…read more Do you believe in serendipity like I do? I was walking solo thru the historic Passage Jouffroy, tiled walkway with high glass ceiling, around since 1836, is when i first met Le Valentin. Nestled between French cafés, boutiques, and a bookstore or two, is where you'll find lovely her! She looks so tempting! Oooh la la! On a whim I decide on breakfast. And oui oui let me tell you how serendipity was alive and well for this Monsieur. I am warmly greeted in French is when I decided to sit and eat a warm breakfast like a true Parisian would do. Café seats on the walkway, this time I decide to dine inside to soak up the interior vibe. Such a warm and delicious ambiance with baked pastries, breads, & confections everywhere! I am handed the menu, all in French mind you, after all, we are in Paris, right?! ;) After perusing the menu and suggestions from the lovely all-in-one, hostess, waitress, barista... I decide on a breakfast set. My choice of scrambled eggs & bacon, fresh garden salad paired perfectly with light dressing, Pain au chocolat and le nutty toast with the freshest Fig jam brought a perfect balance to life. Freshly squeezed Orange juice to compliment & oh la la Cappuccino! The most adorable Parisian barista made me forget about yesterday. She was not only just the hostess, waitress, barista, but also a darn good singer :D As I enjoyed breakfast, I looked at all the patrons around me, tourists, Parisians, a toddler pointing at all the boujee confections, and the lovely lady sipping Latté in one lonely corner. Everyone seemed so happy. A moment in time that will live in me forever je t'aime

Petit endroit pour déjeuner qui a été recommander vivement…read more Le droit est très petit, ce qui permet un ambiance plus relaxe et détendu. Situés dans un des passage de Paris, cela réduit encore plus le bruit. Il y a une petite terrasse à l'extérieur. Le service est très courtois et gentil. Le menu est tout de même petit. Plusieurs pâtisseries sont disponible dans le comptoir que l'ont peu amener ou manger sur place. J'ai prit le menu qui inclus des oeufs brouillé. Le tout viens avec un pain au chocolat ou croissant, chocolat chaud ou café, les oeufs et un pain. J'ai prit un extra pour le bacon. J'ai trouvé le pain sec et sans goût, une chance qu'il y avait beurre (congelé) et de la confiture qui était bonne. Le pain au chocolat était OK. Le chocolat chaud était un chocolat de machine lavazza donc rien d'exceptionnel. Les oeufs quant à oeufs sont un hit and miss. Ce ne sont pas des oeufs pour tous le monde. Je crois qu'ils mettent trop de lait ou de crème et cela les rends très liquides. C'était passable. Je dois dire que le plus surprenant fut le prix final. Disons que pour ce prix là, je m'attendais à beaucoup mieux. Pas un mauvais endroit certain, d'ailleurs les multiples pâtisseries semble vraiment bonne et j'en prendrais sûrement en passant devant. Mais je ne reprendrai pas le menu déjeuner, beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est.
