The Trendiest Desset In Paris Done Right.......


Every Paris restaurant these days does Le Café Gourmand. While it seems to be a fixture on every single menu , along with the ubiquitous warm chocolate cake often it’s a rewarmed frozen macaron, a tiny chocolate cake (likely pulled from the same freezer), and if you’re lucky, maybe a financier from an actual bakery. At Les Fines Gueules Restaurant (best known for using organic beef and veal - and their steak tartar is the best in Paris!) Here they offer up a thick pot of ganache made with Valrhona chocolate, a generous crème brûlée and a moist, hefty slice of orange pound cake, along with a well-made café express.
