Laduree
• 16 April 2009
Blueprint recommended Laduree in their Paris guide* and such a solid recommendation coupled with Rachel's "you-must-visit-Laduree" advice made the famous macaroon-producing patisserie top on our list. Oh how we loved it...so much that we both agreed it was one of our two favorite dining experiences in France.
My sisters and I do love a good tea room and Laduree's fresh herbal tea offerings were irresistable. Although slightly overpriced, the food we ordered was delicious and much appreciated after a few days of crepes and baguettes off the street. For added humor I took pictures of everything I ate, as well as the table setting, and the Italian couple next to us thought I was c-r-a-z-y.
p.s. As an added bonus you can order their famous macaroons after your meal to avoid the incredibly long lines downstairs. Oh and their pretty green boxes...gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

Would love the Paris guide (amandakhines@gmail.com). Merci!
ReplyDeleteI want a SLC guide that includes cool Paris-like teashops. Is there some undiscovered neighborhood in Sugarhouse or somewhere close that looks like Paris????
ReplyDeleteI would also love the Paris guide (alison@simplypaige.com). I will get back there some day! Merci!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this place!!! Mm...so delicious! And me too, I'd love to have a pdf of the Paris Guide! (trulysmittenstudio@gmail.com) - merci

Thank you!

That was pretty funny- the looks we were getting from the couple next to us. I think I loudly said "food stylist" just to get us off the hook.
ReplyDeleteMy omelet was to-die-for and the mint tea-fresh mint leaves steeped in boiling water- was amazing. I'm looking forward to planting my own mint just to replicate it!
So yummy and SO FUN!!! Ahh, Paris...
Would love the paris guide here too!

wow those macarons look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI had a club sandwich at la duree for lunch 6 years ago, and I still dream about it. It is an amazing place! I can't wait to go back.
ReplyDeleteI would love a pdf of the blueprint guide. (wwheels@gmail.com).

ReplyDeleteMmmm...love macaroons & those look yummy. We have a shop here (Montreal) called PointG that sells only macaroons. My favorite flavor so far is caramel à la fleur de sel. Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteAs I go to Paris often for work, I'd love a pdf of the guide.

Thanks!
merci, yes please kelly@kellyroberson.com
ReplyDeleteTravelin' Oma, I'm not sure there is enough French coolness in little SLC to justify a guide...BUT, there is a lovely little restaurant in the 15th and 15th area called The Paris Bistro. It has a fun zinc bar if I remember correctly and the ambiance of a fun, Parisian restaurant. Other than that, I like Les Madeleines. She makes yummy macaroons. I've visited many a tea spot in SLC and while many are good, none of them feel the same as something you'd find in a bigger US city or Paris. However, I haven't tried the Beehive Tearoom and I hear it's the best! It's next on my list....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog you have! I found you on Desire to inspire. I hope you don't mind if I follow you for awhile!
