Hooray for the French pastry puff, especially when it’s a highly addictive gourmet treat. Not surprising since it’s Manuel Martinez, Meilleur Ouvrier de France and two-star chef who concocted it with love …
Imagine a totally picturesque small Parisian place, where you could just run into Woody Allen strolling by. On the cobblestones: a darling puff pastry shop, totally retro and timeless, with a few tables like in a « tea salon » to bite into your puff with a good coffee.
Behind the counter, the famous pastry puffs are prepared at the « minute », filled under your eyes, one of the reasons they are so good, crispy and creamy, but never wet, which happens to be the demise of the modern pastry puff…
No fancy flavors, but 3 perfectly mastered choices. There is the chocolate version, and perfect chocolate and just « plain», the great winner! Imagine a small cheese-cake taste, a tad tangy, in short a rare and wild gourmet moment, since the cream is made with farmer cheese straight from a very natural and earthy dairy!
Price of the crime ? 1,80€ per puff.
