Best Pastry I've Ever Had

Our Airbnb host in Paris was a pastry chef so OBVIOUSLY we asked him where to get pastry in Paris. He was listing different places and then stopped and said, “OH and, of course, Angelina.” We’d never been and knew immediately we needed to go to this place that Coco Chanel herself had visited almost daily. Established in 1903, Angelina is well known and has a lot of pastry under its belt. It’s most famous for the old-fashioned hot chocolate they call ‘L’Africain’ and the signature pastry is called Le Mont Blanc. The hot chocolate is thick and creamy and DECADENT. No wonder Coco Chanel loved it so much! The Mont-Blanc pastry is a secret recipe and I fell in love with it. Let’s just say if I had the recipe I wouldn’t go sharing it around either. The taste and texture are unique and every bite was a joy. If you visit Angelina in Paris (which I highly recommend you do!), make a reservation on their website ahead of time to avoid waiting in a long line up.

New Orleans, there is a croissant bakery specializing in almond croissants, looks very "French".

Going to Angelina was in my list in our 2020 trip to Paris, but due to Covid we had to cancel our trip. I have been to Paris in 2015 and oddly enough I passed Angelina so many times because our hotel was just around the corner. Hopfully in 2022 I will be in Paris and will go to Angelina.

@clam371384 4 года назад

One of the main ingredient for the mont blanc is Chestnut :) I was there few wks ago and enjoyed it very much. Angelina always have a long line of customers without reservation. I waited 30 mins before I got seated but well worth the wait.

@cultureatz 5 лет назад

Well a definite address to keep in mind the next time I am in Paris. Maybe chestnut the secret taste lol? I love that kind of hot chocolate. Great tip to reserve.

@EileenAldis 5 лет назад

There is chestnut in it, yes! It's such a decadent treat. ❤️Hope you enjoy it!

@kevinwestrom4775 3 года назад

That whole place of Angelina is all about decadence. From the one pastry to the decor inside & everything else, it looks like a 5-star place. That would be So much fun to see & just spend a little bit of time in there, taking in the artwork everywhere & all. That would be just amazing. The liquid chocolate looks like it would equally be a "Must-Try" type of thing while there in that restaurant & even Paris in general.

@gyqz 5 лет назад

Did you know the Mont-Blanc pastry is actually very popular in Japan and can be bought at every conbini (convenience store)? The topping is made out of sweetened chestnut and the inner part is usually made out of soft meringues. While you are in Paris I would highly recommend visiting the Pére Lachaise cemetery.....a bit of a unusual recommendation, but you will find an ocean of quit in the middle of the city and there are loads of very beautiful grave monument and statues. Thank you for this awesome video!

@EileenAldis 5 лет назад

I actually only just heard that from someone else after seeing our video who said she first tried a Mont-Blanc in Japan! Despite spending A LOT of quality time in convenience stores there (sadly, pre-RU-vid) I don't remember seeing them there. But next time I'm definitely going to look for them specifically. I don't think visiting cemeteries is strange at all. They're very peaceful and we visit them often when travelling. Always learn a lot and interesting to see the history too, of course. Thanks for the suggestion!

That sounds like a score with the Airbnb host. He should def know where the good stuff is! It looks really good. That hot chocolate looked really rich, but looks like it was really good. I will def keep this in mind for whenever I get back to Paris. How was the pricing?

@HangryByNature 5 лет назад

Omgggg don't. Currently sitting at home with an empty pantry and fridge - watching this video is a bad idea. That hot chocolate looks ahhh-mazing! But, I think I'd be done after 3 sips. It looks so heavy!

@EileenAldis 5 лет назад

haha it was really thick but sooo good! Definitely something to sip (and worth the sugar hangover :P)

@Leckerli33 5 лет назад

The paste looks like chestnut cream - from the texture and color. (Just checked their website and that’s indeed what it is) - I’ll have to give it a try next time I’m in a Paris!

@EileenAldis 5 лет назад

Hey Jennifer! Yes, the cream was delicious! Definitely recommend and hope you enjoy it too :)

Rumpelmayer’s also existed in New York. The hot chocolate was decadent. But, sadly it doesn’t exist anymore. I used to go as a kid. There was also Lindy’s for potato pancakes and cheesecake. What an institution! Also, sorry no more :( New York in the 50’s!!! Moskowitz and Lupowitz, no more. But Sammy’s Romanian off Houston, still exists!
