Maison Pierre HERME Paris and cafe : one of the best place worldwide for macarons and cakes

Un endroit a essayer toutes les pâtisseries sont excellentes, le chef est réputé internationalement.

Chaque fois que je rentre au pays (je vis actuellement au Canada) il faut toujours que j`y fasse un détour car cela est trop tentant.

Je prends toujours des macarons qui sont le plus grand classique mais jaime aussi tous les gâteaux et viennoiseries proposées mes favoris sont le deux milles feuilles, galette des rois et buche de Noel (en saison). Sinon pour les macarons je craque pour les saveurs caramel, passion et pistache sans oublier lirrésistible Ispahan (rose/litchi).

Without a doubt, these appear to be the most amazing cakes, croissants and biscuits I have ever seen @CyrilBECKER7

Must be great on tastebuds as well. :yum:

Thanks I will do that soon.

I am glad i was finally able to share one first post of my french expereinces, as google maps is systematically rejecting all of my reviews in FRance country I do not know why and did not receive any positive feedback from assistance explaining the reason. At least I will be able to share them here which is already a great thing.

Thank you for sharing this @CyrilBECKER7 I was fortunate to have a chance to eat here. The macrons and tarts are exceptional. @TusharSuradkar

Here in Japan, there’s the Pierre Herme Paris Aoyama Branch.

You are right his shop in Tokyo is pretty old I went there back in 2008 when I visited Tokyo as I passed by the crazy busy Shibuya district. I was surprised to find his presence there.

One other greatest chef in Japan who did it the other way around is Sadaharu AOKI, his macarons and cakes are excellent as well, in my opinion he is the greatest challenger of Pierre HERME. He started his businees in France after learning high level patisserie by opening 3 locations around PAris and went back to Japan later around 2005 to open a store in the Marunouchi store. If you are still around you can pay this store a visit and give it a try. Their macha green tea flavoured cakes are just awesome. Pity I was unable to retrieve a picture as it was a long time ago but there are already tons of them online.

Hello @CyrilBECKER7

Thank you for your heartfelt reply. Actually, Sadaharu Aoki is a household name here now. In Shibuya, you can enjoy his green tea cakes here. Personally, I prefer his macrons. Next time I have business in Tokyo around Marunouchi I will definitely pay the other store a visit. Thank you for sharing.

@TonyAlexander yes I heard about him since 2018 as he finished 3rd place that year and everyone was considering him to be a great challenger for first prize in the upcming years. He finally did it in 2023 congrats to him, you can find his bakery here.

He won a prize and will have honour to supply the palace of Elysee during one year to feed the Elite members of french government (president and ministers especially) and foreign notorious guests.

@CyrilBECKER7 Awesome and thank you for this information. I am sure @IlankovanT and @CharithG and @Mithunsanochana will be most impressed.

Oh… This place is truly a paradise for me @CyrilBECKER7

Everything is so tempting, full of sweetness :heart_eyes:

Could you please share the Google Maps’ link of this place?

I’ve saved the one in Japan, too. Although this year, I’m going to visit Japan, but since I don’t have much time, I’m not sure if I can visit Maison Pierre there :frowning_face:

@Velvel

There are the 2 Pierre Herme Paris shops I recommend:

this one is the cafe shop at St germain des pres so one of best spot when you are performing your tourist tour, you can take a seat inside :
