La Patisserie des Reves, Paris


With two more pastry places to cover, (three if I count a dessert cafe), I am tackling La Patisserie des Reves, a pastry shop of dreams.  Coincidentally, the two remaining patisseries are within steps of each other on rue du Bac, and a very short walk from Le Bon Marche.

La Patisserie des Reves, opened in 2009 by pastry chef Philippe Conticini and entrepreneur Thierry Teyssier, is a very unique looking boutique.  The stunning pastries are nestled under temperature-controlled domes on a circular island in the middle of the shop.


Each bell jar contains two sizes of the dessert; a small personal size pastry and a larger cake/tart meant for sharing.







Viennoiserie and other sweet treats like marshmallows, jams, cookies, candies, and truffles are displayed on shelves along the walls.




I like how the pastry is secured in the pretty pink boxes.


Over the years I've had the pleasure of sampling most of their delicious pastries, I wouldn't be able to choose one as my favorite, but here are a few that made a lasting impression:


The millefeuille was lovely and delicate.


The Saint-Honore - caramelized choux cream puffs resting on a puff pastry base and a good dose of cream.


La Patisserie des Reves is known for their chic take on old standards.  This is their version of a peach pie.



Beautiful strawberry tart.



Tarte Rhubarbe - colorful strips of rhubarb, flaky tart shell, and a tangy, sweet center.  This is a terrific seasonal pastry.


Someone else wanted a taste of this lemon meringue as I was photographing it in the park:)


Tarte citron - lemon custard with a heavenly meringue on top.


 Frasier in a little jar.



Their pain au chocolat is pretty decent.  Unfortunately, in a city like Paris, it is very difficult for an average pain au chocolat to stand out since the competition is very tough.  Ble Sucre is my all time favorite, so anything one tastes after having that Holly Grail piece, will not measure up.  On its own, this pain au chocolat is a solid choice.


Their Madeleines are huge!

Bordier Butter - The Best Butter in France

France is in the midst of a butter shortage!  Due to a decrease in milk production and a substantial demand for French pastries all over the world (mainly China and the Middle East), the price of butter has increased by 60% in one year.  The French are stocking up and thus creating shortages.  French newspapers are publishing articles titled "A guide to cooking without butter".  So, with hopes that the shortages are temporary, here is my ode to the best butter in the world.  I'm not kidding.  The. Best. Butter. In. The. World. Mr. Bordier, a grandson and a son of cheese mongers, became a butter artisan in 1985.  He acquired a creamery originally founded in 1927.  The supreme taste of the Bordier butter was first recognized by a chef from the Plaza Athenee while vacationing in Brittany, a beautiful region in northwestern France. Bordier is the lone butter master to still use the old method of kneading the butter according to the 19th century t...

Dallal Restaurant, Tel Aviv

Dallal is located in the heart of Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv's oldest district and the first Jewish  neighborhood outside of the old port city of Jaffa.  It was built as a suburb in 1887 and is now a very trendy area full of cafes, boutiques, and restaurants.   I have been buying breads, cakes and croissants at the Dallal Bakery for a few years now, but this was my first time dining at their restaurant on the corner of Shabazi Street.   Dallal takes up a good chunk of the block since it was built on the ruins of three restored houses next to the Suzanne Dallal Cultural Center. There are a few sitting options while dining at Dallal: outside in the small garden-like area, in the enclosed courtyard with a view of the sky, and inside the restaurant which feels like old time Paris. Dallal is a perfect place for a fun lunch with friends, or a romantic dinner with your sweetheart. There are two lunch options at Dallal: 78 ILS for two appetizers and bread...

Hakosem, Tel Aviv

If you Google: Best shawarma in Tel Aviv, the name Hakosem is bound to pop up close to the top of any list.  It is very easy to find decent shawarma and falafel in Tel Aviv, but we wanted to try what is considered to be one of the best.  Hakosem located in a nice residential neighborhood is a food stand with plenty of tables and chairs set up on the sidewalk.  They serve superb shawarma, falafel, sabich, shakshuka, shnitzel, and veggies.            The line is pretty constant throughout the day, but it moves fast.  Free falafel balls are gifted to the  hungry customers to keep them happy while they wait.        I found the place to be very clean.     Freshly chopped veggies are continuously brought in from the kitchen in the back.         My husband could not resist the shawarma in lafa.  It was quite lar...
