La Maison du Chocolat, opened in 1977 by Robert Linxe (once referred to as a “ganache magician”), is world-famous for its exquisite chocolate creations: ganaches, truffles, and mendiants in classic and not so classic flavors like basil, rosemary, and jasmine. The shops also offer an alluring assortment of chocolate pastries like eclairs, macarons, chocolate tarts and cakes, as well as ice cream!
*4 locations available in Hong Kong, check website for details.
All macarons from La Maison du Chocolat, regardless of what flavor they are, have chocolate ganache-filled centers. On this visit, I tried the passionfruit and procelana (chocolate).
Chocolate lovers, these should make you very happy.
awww.. but their chocolate is super super.. the best in Paris though (in my opinion) but I’ve never noticed that they even have macaron. Pierre Hermes their macaron can probably top La Duree’s.. with much thicker fillings :P
Wish I can have Pierre Herme and Laduree here! My two must-visit destinations in Paris :)
try the olive bits flavored choccie by pierre herme… speckles of sea salt at the top choccie… very interesting flavor. i think you will like it!
ohhh and also, personally, i prefer dalloyau’s macarons over laduree… i kinda feel laduree is overated! but at laduree, one interesting flavor i remember the most liquorice flavored macarons!
Thanks! I’ll be sure to try your suggestions when I’m in Paris. Have long heard about Pierre Herme’s interesting macaron flavors, can’t wait to taste :)
