This boulagerie shop in Montmartre near Sacre Coeur has won a 1st Prize for both their Baguettes as well as their Croissants in Paris. The shop has roughly 30 outlets in Europe all the way to Tokyo. The locals who live in this area and queuing in line with me told me excitedly that this IS the best shop in Paris when it comes to traditional sourdough breads and the same applies to their other pastries and tarts. Since everyone is born different, I will just write it as I discovered it myself.
- Those Apricot, Pear or Apple tarts,
just look superb -
- Kouing Amang -
*Kouign Amann, to be precise and what I think they have meant to type..
- Paris Award Winning Croissant -
This looked too pale in colours, right? At that very moment, I was thinking, I am getting duped again with all these marketing fanfares and lies… But the proof is in the pudding, and once I bit in I knew I was in for a home base run of a viennoserie. The pastry layers literally bursted into a million shards as soon as I clamped my teeth together against the pastry, the sound it made was completely new to me. It was just educational. The pale colour of the croissant was very deceiving indeed, and they probably deliberately under-baked it knowing that the customer might re-heat it in the oven. This was just so amazing and no wonder it has won the 1st Prize for the best croissant in town. If only it was more browned by default, but understandable from shop’s point of view. ~ 9/10
- Citron Tart -
The shop highly recommended this. The pate sucree crust was more on the softer side, and a plastic fork will cut through it easily like butter unlike many places which are more too hard crusty! The citrus curd was quite tangy and had a very lime-like taste which really awakened your senses, it was really refreshing and also both sour and sweet simultaneously. Liked this ~ but probably think this was a little too pedestrian like to be artisanal and slightly too sweet in the background. ~ 7.5/10

| 加入你的留言 Angelina in Paris is of Austrian origins but nevertheless is one of the must visit institutions much like the lauded Laduree. I haven’t been back here for too many years and last time I walked by I was preparing to have a big meal at Le Meurice next door, so this time around I came back to take some pictures. According to almost every guide book, their 2 most famous items to must order are the Hot Chocolate L’Africain and the Mont Blanc cake, and the former still definitely holds true to this day, but those in the know have probably been previously disappointed by their slightly too hyped up Mont Blanc chestnut cake! The must order item here is probably their more unique Vanilla Crumbled Eclairs. Since I’ve eaten both before, this time around I just concentrated on my croissant and the hot chocolate this time!
- The Room is still Beautiful -
But on a hot day, there is no Air Conditioning.
So I was literally sweating in here like sitting in a Sauna whilst drinking my Hot Chocolate..
- Croissant -
The Viennoiseries here are great as always.
The laminated dough looked superbly layered, with a crispy crust but was probably a too soft inside and could do with more butteriness. On it’s own, this is already a good croissant. But I have had a few which were even better, including Le Grenier a Pain, Sadaharu Aoki, Pierre Herme, etc. ~ 7/10
- Hot Chocolate L’Africain -
The one I compare this to directly is the La Maison du Chocolat version. This is also very viscous thick but probably less intense in bitterness, although at the same time also less fruitier. This is very well balanced… Probably less challenging or hardcore, but as an everyday drink this would be my more preferred choice over the VERO or La Maison du Chocolat version. It’s good, if only the shop provides any air conditioning! ~ 8/10
