The Bristol
A stained glass window, a mosaic, a beehive? Perhaps a bit of all three for this galette with accents of citrus and honey. (65 euros)
Struck
Croissant dough, frangipane and an almond praline. We are in a huge crush. (48 euros)
Mamiche
Why make it complicated when you can just go to Mamiche? (from 32 euros; 4.20 euros per portion)
Benoit Castel
The boss of the bakery and pastry shop returns with his traditional pancake and a touch of Madagascar vanilla. (from 29.50 euros)
Breading
Chef Merouan Bounekraf keeps it simple and effective: almond frangipane, and lots of generosity. (39.99 euros)
Pierre Herme
This year, Maison Hermé is thinking big with three cakes. Our favorite? The one with clementine: flaky brioche dough, clementine zest, clementine cream with almond. (35 euros)
Louis Vuitton by Maxime Frédéric
Classy, by Maxime Frédéric, for a pancake with vanilla frangipane cream and chocolate and tonka bean ganache. (58 euros)
Ginko
A classic pancake? Not really, this one is spiked with black sesame. And that changes, for once. (35 euros)
Claire Heitzler
A touch of almond and a touch of hazelnut here. (39 euros)
Le Burgundy
The little nugget from Léandre Vivier, one of the greatest hopes of contemporary pastry. (55 euros)
The Royal Monceau
Sober, chic, efficient, signed Yazid Ichemrahen and Alexandre Favre. The particularity? Poached pears inside. (45 euros)
To the Mother of the Family x Stohrer
A galette des rois frangipane, praline, chocolate. Winning trio. (35 euros)
The French Bastards
Excess always at The French Bastards, and we strongly validate this ultra decadent cookie of kings. (55 euros)
Laduration
The crowns of the kings of Ladurée are little jewels of goldsmith’s work. Our favorite flavor, the chocolate crown with its cocoa nib nougatine. (43 euros)
