On the tail end of our stay in Paris, we woke up in the morning craving for more fine French pastries. And what better way to start our morning than La Pâtisserie des Rêves before heading south?
La Pâtisserie des Rêves ("Pastry Shop of Dreams" in French), brainchild of celebrated pastry master Philippe Conticini and visionary hotelier Thierry Teyssier, started back in 2009 with the vision of combining traditional French pastries with a modern twist. Since then the brand has taken the world by storm and is now one of the top pâtisseries in the world.
The boutique is warmly decorated with the usual white color with a little bit of pink and wood but there was no sign of the patented bell jars on display.
The signature pastries at La Pâtisserie des Rêves include their Paris-Brest, Saint-Honore and mille-feuille.
Another fan favorite is their Grand Cru vanilla which also comes with a delicate chocolate version. I liked the touch of gold on top of the cake. Very elegant.
I was expecting a bit of chocolate oozing out from the centre there but that was not the case. This was very good if you are a chocolate lover. Rich and flavorful (6/10).
There's a different version of this fruitier de saison in raspberry but mango suited me just fine. I was trying to eat this while driving down to Auxerre and had a little bit of trouble with my plastic cutlery.
But at the end, it all worked out perfectly. Nice combination of white chocolate, bits of fresh mango and what looked like a pistachio cake on the bottom (6/10).
