8 desserts you must try once in a lifetime in Paris, according to the World Taste Atlas

Paris and its pastries. The fruits of the know-how of chefs who have left their mark in history, some of the leading creations of the “City of Lights” appeared on September 13 in the ranking approved in French by the World Taste Atlas, the “global flavor encyclopedia”. Based on the votes of Internet users, the atlas compiled a list of 150 “legendary” desserts that should be tasted once in your life. Among them are eight Parisian sweets.

Angelina Montblanc

An important meeting place for high society in the 19th century, the Tea Room Angelina is an institute of Parisian gastronomy. A reputation built especially by the house’s signature dessert, the Mont-Blanc. Its whipped cream dome, topped with a drizzle of brown cream, inspired by women’s hairstyles of the early 20th century, contains a dry and crunchy French meringue. A companion dessert to another iconic house recipe: hot chocolate.

Angelina Paris, 226 rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris.

The cream of Les Deux Moulins

A touch of the spoon, caramel that breaks with a gentle sound and a creamy, slightly vanilla cream… It is obviously about crème brûlée, this sensual and typical French dessert that can be found on the menu of many restaurants. However, it’s the Deux Moulins recipe that made the TasteAtlas list. A chance to discover the lair of the movie heroine The legendary fate of Amelie Poulin.

Les Deux Moulins, 15 rue Lepic, 75018 Paris.

Ladurée macaroons

Who says France, says macaron, and who says macaron, says Ladurée. It’s no surprise that this bite, part of France’s gastronomic heritage, appears on the list of the TasteAtlas guide. Rose, caramel, coffee or even orange blossom… You can find many perfumes in the many shops that populate the capital.

Ladurée, 16 rue Royale, 75008 Paris.

The Deux Magots tart tatin

At the legendary café in the 6th arrondissement, once home to Simone de Beauvoir, Pablo Picasso and Andre Gide, they serve an iconic dessert, the delightful tatty. Its fleshy, perfectly caramelized apples are the perfect excuse to enjoy Saint-Germain-des-Prés on the terrace, with your eyes glued to the ballet of waiters.

Les Deux Magots, 6th place Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 75006 Paris.

Croissant from Café de Flore

A stone’s throw from Les Deux Magots is another establishment, Le Café de Flore. There we taste a timeless classic that turns the palate of all tourists in Paris: the croissant. Its golden, crispy crust encases a soft dough with a mild buttery flavor.

Café de Flore, 172 boulevard Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris.

Berthillon strawberry ice cream

Located on Île Saint-Louis, Maison Berthillon has been admiring artisanal ice creams for over five decades. Among its many flavors, according to TasteAtlas, one recipe stands out: strawberry ice cream. Will be revealed as the temperature rises.

Berthillon, 46 rue Saint-Louis en l’Île, 75004 Paris.

Lightning of the underworld

Stohrer is the oldest operating pastry shop in Paris, and the éclair is one of its flagship creations. Its feather-light shu pastry is filled with airy ganache flavored with chocolate or coffee and topped with smooth and shiny fondant, irresistibly delicious. Savor it on your next trip to Châtelet.

Stohrer, 51 rue Montorgueil, 75002 Paris.

Café de la Paix’s mille-feuille

Across from Opéra Garnier, Café de la Paix, another Parisian institution, serves up a high-flying mille-feuille, where various creamy and crispy layers of puff pastry create a creamy and delicate pastry cream. Discovered in a luxurious setting.

Café de la Paix, 5 place de l’Opéra, 75009 Paris.
