Well this is one of the most famous places to get chocolate chaud in Paris and it is a bit of a tourist trap. When we rolled up, there was a line out the door. They very smartly set up a cart outside of the door that sold just cups of hot chocolate to go. We did that to save time. The hot chocolate was very good but it was honestly so rich and thick that I didn't like it as much as others that I had on our trip. It was seriously like drinking a very tasty cup of hot chocolate pudding. I get why people rave over it. But for me it was too thick. From the outside, it looked pretty touristy. But I see all the five star reviews here so clearly some people think the wait is worth it! read more

Super yum and light! The hot chocolate is extremely good! We ordered one to share as a table because it's very rich and chocolatey. Definitely something you should try while in Paris! I would recommend to make a reservation on the day you plan on visiting the Louvre because it's within walking distance and a nice way to start your day! read more

Angelina - Œufs Bénédicte, sauce hollandaise et au Saumon fumé, Café glacé, Chocolat chaud - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

I got food poisoning from eating their breakfast and threw up the entire breakfast. Their hot chocolate was the worst I've ever had. Toooo sweet, I only could have one sip. read more

The best damn hot chocolate I have ever had and now tainted knowing that nothing else will ever compare!

Angelina was one of the best dining experiences in Paris that I've had. The interior is beautiful and charming, featuring intricate crown molding and French paintings, and you could tell that the pastries and desserts were all delicately made. The queue outside gets pretty long, but I came early for breakfast before a queue formed and we were seated immediately. [Angelina Breakfast] This 30-euro meal set allowed for the ideal sampling of everything Angelina had to offer for breakfast. The croissant and pain au chocolat had the perfect crisp on the outside and lightness on the inside, and the chestnut cream was amazing with the croissant. The eggs are made to order, and I've never had a fluffier and smoother omelette than at Angelina's. [Pistachio Mont Blanc] Angelina is home to its famous Mont Blanc, and being a pistachio fan, I naturally gravitated towards their pistachio version. The dessert came beautifully presented. The cream filling was light and fluffy, perfectly embodying the chestnut flavor that the Mont Blanc is characteristically known for. The exterior took on a more subdued pistachio taste as to let the primary chestnut flavor shine, and the two flavors and textures paired so well. Definitely a dessert to be shared; it ended up being way too much for me to finish alone lol. Overall, Angelina is the quintessential tearoom experience, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's visiting Paris. read more

Great for all those who have a sweet tooth. Keep in mind that eating here is not so much for the overall dining experience as it is for simply experiencing Angelina's iconic hot chocolate and pasties. I had dinner here with my family. We came here on recommendation of a friend who studied abroad in Paris. RESTAURANT: It seems that this location of Angelina was one of the more popular ones; a long line was outside when arrived slightly before 5pm. It moved at a decent pace, and the hostesses were attentive in prepping tables -- e.g. checking us in while we were in line, etc. A little impersonal though. The interior of Angelina is divided into a front bakery that sells pastries, and a large restaurant in the back with layers and layers of tea rooms. The decor has a classic-look and is dimly lit; it feels like you've stepped into an early 20th century restaurant, which makes sense as an aesthetic decision since Angelina was founded in 1903. My fellow foreigners: THERE'S FREE WIFI HERE. Use the one " *Angelina-Rivoli " -- the one with the asterisk actually goes through. SERVICE: We had a kind French waiter who humored my sister's elementary French skills. There are many waiters on staff, and although our initial waiter essentially disappeared after taking our order (lol), all staff was quick to attend to our needs. They're clearly busy and rushing about, but they're all polite and warm upon interaction -- keep in mind the interaction is probs self-initiated :/ DRINKS: **THE HOT CHOCOLATE** (9€) Angelina is iconic for its hot chocolate which is so thick and rich, it's essentially just melted chocolate. The whipped cream that they put on top is unsweetened and fluffy; it tastes like how I'd imagine whipped half and half to taste like. If you have LESS of a sweet tooth like my fam: consider ordering a pot of tea on the side. It's pretty heavy and hard to handle otherwise. Our Oolong Tea was standard. We received a refill of hot water when requested. Probs saved us from all the sugar. FOOD (ENTREES): We ordered the 1) Caesar Salad (23€), 2) French Onion Soup (11€), 3) Croque-Monsieur (17€), and 4) Foie Gras (23€). All were average or below. Portions are surprisingly small except the Caesar Salad. Worthy of note was the freshness and Parmesan cheese of the Caesar Salad, and the balsamic vinaigrette on the side mesclun salad of the Croque-Monsieur. On the other hand, the Foie Gras only came with two triangles of toast and a small dollop of fig chutney. Although the Foie Gras itself wasn't bad, the dish as a whole lacked complexity. FOOD (DESSERTS): We ordered the 1) Mont Blanc and 2) Paris New-York. Both were SO GOOD. ***Pastries are what Angelina excels at*** -- lesson learned. It was just a lot to eat with the chocolate as a paired drink. IN SUM: I'd suggest to simply come to Angelina for it's hot chocolate and its pastries. Order a pot of tea, or orange juice, lemon water, or something -- ANYTHING -- to cut through the richness of this decadent treat. Don't expect to have the service that would be suggested by its €€€ price, but I do think the sweets alone are worth the visit and € :) read more

My sister wanted to try this restaurant for our paris trip. It's just ok, not worth the wait. Our server was very rude and pushy. We got there late so food was no available. We just chocolate and desserts and honestly it's not worth it. Ops! read more

Angelina - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

This was on my must do list while visiting Paris. The Hot Chocolate here is revered as the best in the world so I had to experience it for myself. The location is a short walk from The Louvre. The location itself is beautiful. The restaurant is beautifully decorated from top to bottom. It reminded me a bit of Fortnum & Mason from London, but with a Parisian flair. I had the Hot Chocolate and Pear and Strawberry Sorbet (I wanted something to accompany the sweet chocolate I was about to endure). The star of this visit was hands down the pear sorbet. Both Sorbets were fantastic, but the pear was as if they just frozen fresh pears and mashed them down to enjoy. It was the best sorbet I've ever had anywhere, and I'm still wishing I could get more. As for the hot chocolate it wasn't my cup of tea. That's not to say it wasn't good; I can see why people like it. It's basically melted chocolate in a cup. It's incredibly thick, sweet, and indulgent. For me I would have preferred it be cut down more with some milk or something... this was like grabbing a cup and filling it from a chocolate fountain. If you love chocolate it will most likely be heaven, but I was glad I had the pear sorbet to balance the sweetness. All in all Angelina is a great experience - and if you're near The Louvre on your visit to Paris take a stroll down to the restaurant and create a lasting memory. read more

Lovely tea room restaurant! Was a fan of the ambiance. Beautiful interior design. Our plan was to stop here for breakfast before going to the louvre museum, which was nearby. Went in around 9:30 am on a Monday - we were seated immediately for a table of 2. It was already pretty busy at the time, so if we arrived any later, we would probably be waiting. As far as the food, we got the famous hot chocolate, a quiche, eggs benedict, and eclair. Hot chocolate: VERY rich. It felt like drinking a melted chocolate bar. Honestly could have split one order between myself and the bf. Was good, but can only take a certain dose. Quiche: delish. One of the better quiches I've had. Smoked salmon benedict: The bf ordered this and enjoyed this classic brunch item. Eclair: Filled with a chocolate mousse that was too sweet. Overall, the food was decent. I'm a bigger fan of the ambiance than the food. Service was fine as well. read more

I wish I knew before I waited in line for 30 minutes (total 1 hour) that's could get take out. The service is slow ( not used to that in The USA). We got a truffle egg dish that I would not get again and truffle ravioli which was UNBELIEVABLE and the hot chocolate also UNBELIEVABLE and that red cupcake looking dessert which was not good. The truffle ravioli made that lunch pleasurable read more

My first time in Paris, my friends recommended Angelina and indeed one of the best restaurants we went: Food - the hot chocolate is a MUST! Service - great service and very organized!! Ambiance - the place was nice! Would recommend this place!! read more

At 4pm the waiting line was out the door! We have decided to get some takeout and eat them at the comfort of our hotel suite. I have to say they are not the best I've had but they are good. May be I expect too much from their Mont Blanc? I would come back but won't wait in line for sure. Decor is pretty but a bit old fashion for me. Service at the boutique side was great and fast. read more

Deserts are the best. We had a breakfast there on the first day of Paris, and went there by front desk staff's recommendation. It turned out pretty good read more

Don't come here unless you plan on getting Covid shot every 4 months. Waste of my time standing in line

First thing--just in case you're in a hurry do NOT choose seating choose the snack bar. For seating, they make you wait in line to be seated, and then make you wait for your food for more than ten minutes, and that's if you ordered six desserts. We don't mind but I'm sure others do. As for the complaints about slow seating, I agree, but not fully. They probably only seat you if they exactly have enough seats in one table for you. However I understand because they have pretty big tables with normally four seats so if you have a small party I wish you luck. Still, I don't understand why the have to be so slow considering they can obviously move stuff around. Also the food is great, but it's it really worth that much money? No, it isn't. It's better than average, sure, but it's not fancy enough for me or others to pay and wait so long. However if you've got some time I would suggest going. read more

The place was very lovely. The food was good/okay-- honestly, I had a better omelette at a different uncrowded and unpopular spot near the Yllen Hotel. The hot chocolate was VERY good! I probably will go back for only the hot chocolate. The waiter was very attentive, nice and spoke english. I think this place is overhyped and just for "show". The architecture is very pretty and has a nice feel. I recommend this place only for the chocolate. The desserts were okay. I definitely found other places that were less unknown or only had 3-6 reviews on yelp with AMAZING flavorful food. read more

Angelina - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

If you're in Paris and you want to experience a few exquisite pastry delights then this restaurant is a must try! My sister and I happened upon it since it was so close to our hotel and we were immediately impressed with the elegance of the staff and anbiance. They serve tea and food and also have a little shop where you can buy chocolates, and tea, and macaroons already boxed. We came in to try a few pastries to enjoy after dinner. I have to say that the one thing I wanted to enjoy while in Paris were the pastries. ( Didn't Marie Antoinette say, " Let them eat cake!"? Well then.....) For the most part I wasn't impressed with the few items I had had in various bakeries. I was a little girl when my parents took us to Europe and can't remember the experience but my parents have been back several times and always gush about the croissants, baguettes, and pastries. This is the only place I would gush over! We ordered the strawberry shortcake-like bar, the tangy lemon tart topped with marshmallows, and the africane, which was chocolately. Yum, yum, Yum! We shared each one and groaned at how perfect they were. They were all fresh. The strawberries were not mushy, my fork met the resistance of fresh fruit. The lemon tart was tart in the best way possible. I mean, real lemons were hurt in the making of that tart. Ha! The africane was a thin brownie layer topped with a chocolate mousse, enrobbed in chocolate...it was very good! Prices were $6 to $8 euro per item, which is pricey as they were small treats. Buy a few and share you won't regret it. (They also have the famous chocolate chaud that is known in France for being thick like hot chocolate mousse. I find the texture a little too thick and off putting but if you like chocolate, definitely try it!) read more

So delighted to have found this place. I had it marked as a place to try on my trip to Paris and on our first day walking around we just happened to walk by. Location: Close to the Louvre museum making it a nice stop before or after you visit the museum. Or stop by just because! They have a cafe area for take away as well as a sit down area upstairs and downstairs. We ended up coming here for brunch as well as dinner on two different days; that's how good this place is. Staff: Friendly staff that was very efficient. They are true to French style in that they don't rush you through your meal and won't bring you the check until you ask for it. You could sit here for hours with friends just talking if you really wanted to. Food: On my first visit I had a plain omelette where the egg was perfectly cooked. The egg was fluffy and perfectly seasoned. Delicious. I also had a latte and because of this I didn't get the chance to order dessert. But it's okay because we went back! For our dinner visit I ended up ordering a Caesar salad so that I could save room for dessert. I ordered their Fraiser. It's strawberries with light vanilla cream and a hazelnut biscuit. It's fantastic! The flavor was light and perfect for summer. I could eat this all day long if I had the option. Totally worth checking out. When we went on a weekday for brunch there wasn't a wait. When we went for dinner on a weekend, the wait was about 10 minutes. read more

Overrated. I had an eclair and a cold chocolate drink. Maybe it was too much chocolate, to pastry was hard... the drink meh.. just overrated to me. I tried it at the Louvre museum read more

We were looking for a bakery that makes chestnut cake. To our amazement, the line was out the door. We had to get a takeout and eat in the park instead. Everything they had was overpriced. The chestnut cake was way too sweet and couldn't even taste the chestnut in it. Truly disappointing. read more

This place sucks Only positives are 1. The hot chocolate and 2. Ambience We ordered the Parisian breakfast (20 euros) You get two croissants, a chocolate croissant and a loaf of bread and those small cute containers of jam, honey, and chestnut cream. The orange juice also tastes like Tropicana you can get at Safeway for 2/$5 on sale. Our cheap hotel croissants taste better and costs less I ordered the truffle omelette (21 euros) that was expensive AF and tasted rubbery and bland. Couldn't taste any truffle and had to add salt and pepper for any taste. It comes with a sliver of a lettuce with balsamic. Highly disappointed. Service sucks. Waitress forgot my water and couldn't track her down. Asked another waitress and she told us to ask our waitress. I just want some fcking tap water Good thing we didn't have to wait and without a reservation at 10am ish Over rated and expensive. Do it once just to say you've been but would never ever go again read more

This is a charming space adjacent to the Luxembourg Museum (a small but choice museum). So stop by to rest after viewing. Good choices with outside and inside seating. Refreshing drinks. Not inexpensive but one lingers so cost per hour is not excessive. read more

If you're looking for the most decadent desserts in Paris this is your place. Touristy and busy and pricey but worth it. Would not recommend getting macarons here as you're better off getting those from Laduree if that's what you're specifically looking for as that is their specialty. Otherwise, Angelina is the best place in Paris to go to pick out the best desserts that are waiting fresh and prepared before your eyes. Aside from whatever desserts look best when you arrive you MUST get their rich hot chocolate here as it's very famous and is their specialty. When I arrived on a random weekday in the middle of the day there was a very long line out the door but don't be fooled as this line is for the restaurant not the bakery. To access the bakery for the hot chocolate and all of their desserts go into the right door and go immediately off to the right. read more

Angelina was just as fancy as you would imagine. The location inside of Galaries Lafayette is cozy and comfortable. We went for just desserts and hot chocolate and ended up with an eclair, chocolate cake and macarons. Our desserts came quickly and the hot chocolate took a little bit longer but it's supposedly the best hot chocolate in the city so we were happy to wait. Unfortunately the hot chocolate did not live up to the hype. It's very thick like Essentially melted chocolate and not very sweet and because we're American, it just wasn't what we're used to. We loved the desserts but can't recommend the hot chocolate unless you're just getting it to say you dined at Angelina. The presentation was beautiful but that's what you're paying for with the prices. Our tiny desserts and 1 cup of hot chocolate each was about 60 euros. Probably would not return. read more

Angelina is one of those touristy places that actually do live up to the hype. I've been to Paris twice and both times have eaten my fair share of pastries from here while also doing afternoon tea. The price is high here, but it is so totally worth it. All I have to say is you can't leave Paris without trying a MontBlanc. These are the pastry I wish I could get back home. read more

We stopped in on a hot day. Record breaking heat thankfully this place has air-conditioning. Everyone around us had hot chocolate. We wanted to try but it was just too hot. We had iced tea & fresh juice. We also tried the raviolis. Phenomenal! I would go back to Paris just for this dish. The decor is super cute. Feels like a palace, maybe the queen will join us for tea & pastries. read more

Go for the desserts, the regular food is just ok. The hot chocolate is nice to try if you're going for the first time, after a few sips you get really sick of it because it is too rich. Overall the ambience is lovely, regular food is mediocre and a rip off, dessert is on point. read more

Best hot chocolate ever! But before we get to that. Let me back up and tell you about everything else we ate. Hubs had the croque Madame which wasn't made the traditional way. They stood up two halves of a ham sandwich and put the fried egg on top of that. Hubs said it was ok? I was feeling like a sandwich so I ordered the chicken club. Let me just say it's the most expensive sandwich I've ever had in my life. It was pretty basic, delicious, but basic. The upside is that it came with salad and fries. We had a macaron with berries for dessert. That was awesome! I usually am drawn to chocolate desserts but the hubs had already ordered the hot chocolate and I did t want to order choco on choco (well, then again, it hasn't stopped me in the past...). The macaron had a nice she'll and was soft on the inside. Not too sweet. The berries in the middle were perfect to balance the whipped cream it came with. Everything was great. The hot chocolate. The winner in our order. Perfectly chocolatey, creamy, SMOOTH, and the right temperature. It was. They also give you a small pitcher of it so you can share it and have a couple of servings each. Would get it again! read more

Tourist trap! Money machine! The food was nothing special! I had the most basic eggs benedict ever. On a dry toast, 2 poached eggs. Very little sauce on the side. My 18 years-old foodie son tried several of their pastries. None of them was worth finishing: no particular good taste. Some literally blend or just sugary. That was actually the worst eating experience we had during our stay in Paris! What a disappointment! read more

angelina came highly recommended from several of my friends who visited paris recently and the hot chocolate DID NOT DISAPPOINT. the pastries we had were tasty and beautifully plated, but the hot chocolate stole the show by a long shot. it was thick and decadent and the whipped cream cut into it perfectly. i will visit every time i'm in france and definitely encourage others to do the same! read more

Angelina - hot chocolate will never be the same - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Angelina's is an institution, so you must visit for the atmosphere and the gorgeous setting. The mad rush of the staff and the clinking of the plates makes it a wonderful venue to spend an afternoon or morning. I got there at around 11:15am and was able to get a table for two without waiting. The waitstaff are really busy, so they do rush around a lot and will sometimes forget about you, but with some persistence, they will return! I tried their famous hot chocolate and a praline twist on the Mont Blanc. The chocolate was rich and velvety, but perhaps a little too sweet. The Mont Blanc was waaaay too sucrée. If there are lines winding around the building, you can always get their food takeaway but you will miss out on the best parts of Angelina's - the interior and the atmosphere. read more

I was really eager to try this place after reading great things about the food. However, it didn't live up to my expectations. This is another tourist trap.. the food is overpriced yet bland. I got the Foi Gras Salad (never had Foi Gras before) so was curious to see what it tasted like. The presentation of the salad wasn't appealing. I also ordered a side of parsley potatoes. Worst dishes ever. I don't recommend this place at all. Please avoid wasting your money. You can come here for tea and pastry but stay far from the lunch items. read more

If you are looking for a good place for some afternoon tea, this is the place for you! I was super disappointed when we were in London, England and I missed the opportunity to sit down and have some good tea with some yummy pastries and cookies. Luckily, this place was right next to our theatre where we performed and I managed to squeeze some time to check this place out. From their service to ambience, everything was great. Price was pricey tho, but their cakes were extraordinary good. Especially love their macarons, deliciously good! Just thinking about their sweets, I can't wait to be going back there in May! :D read more

This place is to die for!! A must for a Paris vacation. I ate here twice on my trip to Paris and I wish I had ate here more. The croissants are to doe for, the Chochlate one being the best. The hot Chochlate is exactly what they say it is!! THE BEST IN THE WORLD!! Pours into your cup like fondue and taste like Chochlate Heaven. I'll never taste hot chocolate the same. I also had a assortment of desserts from their shop and they were also amazing, the macaroons are the best I've ever had, they melt in your mouth unlike others I've had. The place is decorated very elegant and the staff is very nice and tried their best to understand us and get our orders correctly. Love it!!! read more

The best hot chocolate in the world. Hands down! There is always a long line so make sure to book a table online a few days ahead of time. We walked right past the line and were seated immediately. I've grown up making hot chocolate with milk and powder at home. The hot chocolate at Angelina is sooo thick you really must pace yourself! The whipped cream they bring you on the side is to dilute the hot chocolate but don't use too much! The hot chocolate is so good it is hard to explain but just know you will never have better. Honestly you should order a pastry or two to compliment the hot chocolate. They are famous for the Mont Blanc. The service was average but must give this place 5/5 for having the most decadent hot chocolate ever! read more

Wonderful pastries and they even have some fantastic gluten free pastries. Go early, the line of people wanting their pastries gets long.

During my trip to Paris, I had to pay Angelina's a visit because after all, a lot of people here claim they serve the BEST hot chocolate. I stopped by on a weekday afternoon with my boyfriend and got seated right away. We ordered the infamous Angelina hot chocolate, the Mont Blanc, which also seems to be a very popular dessert here, and a croissant. Unfortunately, they had no more large croissants left so we settled for a small one. Starting with the hot chocolate, it was definitely richer and thicker than your average hot chocolate. It literally tasted like a chocolate EXPLOSION in my mouth. It was very pleasant at first but when you have a boyfriend who is not a fan of hot chocolate and is unwilling to share it with you, drinking the hot chocolate becomes overwhelming very quickly. You get around 3 cups of hot chocolate from the pot. Make sure you bring someone who will be down to split the hot chocolate with you! We tried the Mont Blanc and it was an interesting dessert. It was sweet and creamy and the biscuit at the bottom was a nice touch. Again, I think this is a dessert to share. Unless you have the biggest sweet tooth, I strongly advise sharing everything here or it gets very sweet and tiring very quickly. Lastly, the least sweet thing we ordered - the croissant - was actually pretty average in my opinion. It didn't taste as fluffy and was more flaky and hard than I like it to be. Overall, I say come for the pastries and hot chocolate and be on your way! read more
