Ladurée

We got the set brunch. There was more food than you could shake a stick at! I would definitely recommend getting 1 of the set brunch between two as we didn’t get close to eating everything! The French toast was the best we’ve ever had, the bread and fresh jams were lovely, hot chocolate - divine, pastries -yum yum, fruit salad - delicious. We didn’t have to queue as we had a reservation. Would recommend getting a reservation!

First time in Paris and first time trying Ladurée. Although aware of their famous macarons I never had the chance to taste them in the UK. We stumbled on the restaurant on Champs-Élysées. We didn't book in advance but decided to try anyway for a quick dessert. Upon arrival we were quickly seated on the first floor in the most beautiful setting for a quiet afternoon. A very warm and polite waiter came over and took our order ( I wish I knew his name, blonde curly hair and short in height ) and we got to experience more than just dessert. The club sandwich was amazing and so generously portioned along with perfect fries. The velvety hot chocolate and the pistachio éclair and lemon tart were divine for dessert. He even gifted us two macarons for free at the end which made our visit more wholesome. It's an experience I won't forget anytime soon.

Ladurée is macaron heaven! So many delicious and unique flavors to choose from each one a perfect little treat. We also tried the hazelnut chocolate cake, and wow… absolutely incredible. I must’ve nailed my “bonjour” and “merci” because the shopkeeper spoke to me entirely in French. I’ll take that as a win! We brought our sweets to the nearby park by the obelisk and enjoyed them in the sun. A truly Parisian experience.

Amazing pastries… visually, taste and texture! My favourite was the Mille-Feuille, it was divine! We also had the pistachio slice, Saint Honore and strawberry gateau… all were delightful too! Not only were the pastries top notch, the service was excellent too… and this place is paradise for those who love to take pics as the restaurant was beautiful! Yes, it may be a little pricey here, but worth every penny/cent!

We visited Ladurée to try their selection of French desserts, and it was a delightful experience. The pistachio and raspberry macarons were truly exquisite—delicate, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The café itself is stylish and thoughtfully decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. One small downside we noticed was that while we were enjoying our time and doing a bit of studying, the staff seemed slightly eager for us to leave, likely to make space for the next round of tourists. It felt a bit rushed, which took away from the otherwise relaxing atmosphere. A little more patience would have made the experience truly perfect. After our visit, we stopped by a nearby shop and were surprised to find very similar pastries being sold for about €6 less per piece. While we understand that ambiance and service are part of the café experience, the price difference felt quite extreme and left us questioning the overall value.
