Best Patisseries and Macarons in Paris

Guide: Patisseries and Macarons

Paris patisserie culture covers macarons, viennoiserie, formal tea rooms, polished counters, and boxed sweets made for carrying home. Technique and house specialties matter more here than photogenic display cases alone.

  • AngelinaAngelina stages the grand Paris tea-room ritual through thick hot chocolate, Mont-Blanc, pastries, and an ornate Rue de Rivoli dining room.
  • Pierre Herme BonapartePierre Herme Bonaparte is a polished Left Bank patisserie known for macarons, chocolate, and flavor combinations that treat pastry as design. It is a boutique counter rather than a casual neighborhood bakery.
  • Laduree Champs-ElyseesLaduree Champs-Elysees is the famous macaron house in its polished avenue form, with ornate tea-room service, pastries, and gift boxes near the Arc de Triomphe side.
  • Du Pain et des IdeesDu Pain et des Idees is as strong on viennoiserie as bread, especially its spiral escargot pastries and pain des amis. The Canal Saint-Martin bakery is compact, craft-led, and focused on a short, recognizable range.
