The thing I didn't like was I saw in that very same restaurant people with regular Hot Chocolate with 3 times the portion for the same price. So, I believe I in particular got ripped off or every single other person got hooked up. (Which is more likely?!) (that's the one by the Westin) I also ordered Risotto with Creamed Asparagus. It was great. Especially with the addition of what appears to be a large round chip. It's actually a chip of Parmesan cheese. I also had some of Roasted Chicken with sweet potato purée, peas & onions. The chicken was good and tasted pretty strongly of the herbs that was used to prepare it, however, still tasty. It was a little on the dry side. For dessert I ordered the classic Mont Blanc. It is very unique and is a good dish. However, the texture on top has nearly the consistency of play dough. The inside it a bit better tasting. From the notes on the front page people are more inclined to order it over the other pastry options as I was based on the history and secrecy of their family owned recipe. Based on my experience and great deal of taste for pastries I'd highly recommend the Millefeulle Vanille when available. Put it this way; everyone that ordered that in the restaurant there was no trace or telling what they ordered. When they ordered the Mont Blanc; you can see that most ate the inside and left the outside or just about half or so remaining being able to see clear as day what was ordered. read more

Angelina - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

We didn't eat inside, but very easily found it after leaving the Louvre. I didn't feel like sitting down, though their dining room looked gorgeous, so we got a few goodies to go. Eclair- super decadent, and covered in chocolate. Hubby's all about the eclairs, so he loved this! Hot chocolate- Obviously I had done my research and knew that this was their gem, so we just had to get some. It was definitely the richest hot chocolate I've ever had, but it wasn't overly sweet where I couldn't finish it! Macarons- I thought their macarons were pretty good, though they don't hold a candle to Laduree of course. Next time, I'd pop in and sit for a bit for some tea and pastries. read more

Angelina - Chocolate eclair and bag of macarons - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Sadly to say, I did not enjoy my visit here at this famous tea house at all. I came here for breakfast with a couple friends, and first off the prices were ridiculous, especially when the food was awful. The toast for our eggs benedict was burnt and it took 15mins of hand waving before a waiter came and asked us what was wrong. It took another 10 mins before a higher up waiter came to speak with us about our toast yet again, and she asked us if they could replace just the toast. I did not come to Angelina and pay 14 euros for an eggs benedict for them to simply ask me if they could replace the toast. Plus, at that point, our food was cold from waiting so long and nasty to eat. When our new plates finally came, the hollandaise sauce was way too acidic, and the eggs were tasteless like water. (I don't even know how that's possible but that's how they tasted) we ordered their hot chocolate too, and it was sweet to the point that it was gross. It pains me to say this, because I adore desserts and sweets, but this hot chocolate was way too sugary. On a more positive note, I did buy some of their macarons on an earlier visit which were very good. In the end, Angelina is nothing but an overrated tourist trap. I suggest you visit their bakery at the front of the store, then high tail it out of there. read more

Angelina - our burnt toast on the eggs benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Even though everything here is pretty dang pricey...I still give this place a 5-star because it was that amazing. We had to wait in line even and it was still worth it. Ya'll, milk bothers my stomach and I still came to get the MOST DELICIOUS hot chocolate I've ever tasted...and it was so worth it. We got the croissants they had too and they were little, but still delicious. They have the option of white hot chocolate and regular hot chocolate. I highly suggest trying both just to see which you like better! This place is super fancy too. It looks like it was an old very large home that belonged to a rich person. Complete with a very fancy bathroom for the ladies, chandeliers, a big staircase, and so much more make this place just so wonderful to be at. It is truly a great place to go to feel "fancy" for a little bit. YOU MUST TRY IT! read more

Angelina is one of Paris's most famous cafes, located adjacent to the Tuileries Gardens and right near the Louvre Museum and Place de la Concorde. Somehow this place is often overlooked by tour guides and visitors and despite the area being quite busy, this place, who's building is historically classified is actually relatively quiet on the inside. The atmosphere is old-fashioned, classy French-inspired and is fairly upscale. It is open for lunch and dinner services, but many go there for an afternoon snack or tea. The food being served at Angelina is excellent but there are two things are set them apart from everyone else; two things that has enabled Angelina to reach a cult status of international renown and those things are the African Hot Chocolate (Chocolat Chaud Africain) and the Mont Blanc patisserie. The first one, the Africain hot chocolate is a very thing and decadently rich hot chocolate which comes served in small cups and with a side of whipped cream. It is extremely rich and alone can satisfy most people. It is a very pleasurable experience for any chocolate lover and I always make sure to swing by there for a cup on every trip back home to visit my parents. The second thing is a bit more obscure but deserves attention as well and that is the Mont Blanc patisserie. It is a chesnut-based patisserie which is an old, traditional patisserie which used to be made everywhere across France but that few places still make. A recipe lost in time that is also quite rich but delicious none the less. It also has some meringue in there somewhere; I absolutely love it and it pairs well with the hot chocolate. Angelina is definitely something that I'd recommend to most people but not for a regular lunch or dinner; their food is good, great even but you should really go to sample both the hot chocolate and the mont Blanc. You can thank me later. Just make sure that you dress up a little and avoid peak hours because that place can be very, very busy. Oh and behave as well! This place isn't a place where you want to stand out as an obnoxious tourist so put those passports away safely in your bag and stop chewing with your mouth open! read more

If you're visiting Paris Angelina is a must on your to do list. During mid afternoon there is still a long line, over an hour wait for Angelina. I tried their delicious Hot chocolate, which was thick and full of flavor. I also tried an assortment of their pastries,and were delightful as well. Definitely get a chance to make it to the counter to see their display of all their options. They have since expanded from their original store in the heat of the city into the Palace of Versailles and other museums. So if you miss the chance to go in the city, you can always find time to make a little tea time stop during your museums excursions. read more

So they say it's the best chocolat chaud (hot chocolate) but I think it very well might be the best hot chocolate in the world. It's VERY filling so don't bother with a meal unless you're absolutely starving. That with some bread or a pastry will set you up for the day - or for a nap. Don't have much else to add to the over 300 reviews at the time of this writing other than don't miss this when you're here. read more

Everything people say about this place is all true. Yes the hot chocolate is amazing, yes do try the mont blanc, and yes it's worth the relatively short wait outside. We got to this location at around 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and although the line seems long, it's relatively quick and i think it only took about 15 minutes before we got in. Honestly, it's worth waiting in line, sitting down and drink the hot chocolate out of their ceramic sets. We ordered: - 1 hot chocolate ( 7.90 EUR) - 1 iced chocolate frappe (7.90 EUR) - 1 Mont blanc (9 EUR) The hot chocolate was sooo decadent and so good. The cold chocolate was not very cold and no where near as good. The mont blanc with the chestnut cream was great. It wasn't very sweet and very light and airy. read more

Angelina - hot chocolate with whipped cream - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Definitely a Parisian experience! Great hot chocolate - basically melted chocolate in a pot which is divine. I'm gluten free and no issues with this. I went for cake - think it was a Mont Blanc as the only gf option apart from the macarons. To be honest, the cake was too much sweetness with the hot chocolate so I regretted ordering it. Decor wise, wasn't wowed given the hype as I've seen other period eateries that were beautiful. Service is slick but quite impersonal. It is pricey for lunch so buy cheaper patisserie elsewhere but pop in here for the hot chocolate! read more

Delicious and delectable hot chocolatier near the Louvre!! This place is incredible and has wonderful creamy chocolate and is made with real cocoa and whipped cream. Truly magnificent choice for sweets and desserts. We tries the Mount Blanc dessert-cream covered with marzipan chocolate!! Awesome gifts to bring home too! Make a reservation or go early when they open up. read more

Best hot chocolate in the world. Croissant was amazing, delicious egg and ham. Mont Blanc was fun, and I'm glad I tried it but not my favorite pastry. Will be back as often as possible! read more

If I were rating Angelina solely on the quality of the food and drink, I'd give it eleven stars!! You've already read about the delicious drinking chocolate, how rich and amazing it is...and you've already read about each different type of pastry they serve seventy times! What you may not have read is that you should definitely take it easy here, unless you are either used to extremely rich dairy products or have a cast-iron-stomach!! While I thoroughly enjoyed each morsel I put in my mouth here (the Choc Africain really IS worth writing home about!), by the time I left, I already had heartburn!! No joke, on the way home to our hotel, I had to stop in not one, but TWO pharmacies to get something to put out the fire (thanks, Gaviscon!)!!! So, take it easy...share, don't finish everything, and keep some Tums in your purse, just in case!! The front entrance is NOT WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE: There is one small step. However, if you are able to get up that step (either backwards, or with the assistance of a friend), you'll find the rest of the main floor easily accessible! Since my motorized scooter is rather large and I am ambulatory, I was able to leave it in the foyer and walk to my seat, in order to have more seating options. The staff was very accommodating in this regard, and would've bent over backwards to seat me even WITH the oversized scooter! The seats are small, which is par-for-the-course by Parisian standards, but might be uncomfortable for larger Americans...and as the tables are all very close together, you might find yourself sharing elbow-room with the stranger sitting next to you! The service is prompt, especially considering how insanely busy this place was when we arrived there on a Saturday afternoon. This is not surprising, given that it's right across from the Tuileries, a short five minute walk from the Louvre! Be prepared to wait in line for a table...although the line DID move very fast! I will probably go back here next time I'm in Paris, because it IS lovely...but I will probably stick to just the hot chocolate or just a pastry, not both. And I'll probably try to go during a quieter time of day/day of the week, because I'm not someone who enjoys loud environments. If you are visiting the Tuileries or the Louvre, I highly recommend making a stop here during your day, as it really IS a culinary masterpiece!!! read more

"I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member." So said Groucho Marx (or something along those lines) - and that's kind of how I felt about Angelina. This is a place that trades on its sophistication. It's supposed to give you a taste of decadence, of what it would be like to be the kind of person who would spend 8 euros on a cup of hot chocolate without thinking about it. But Angelina is a business. It's trying to get people through the door. So firstly there's a sense of there just being a LOT of people around - there's a bustle and hum of people more in line with a cheerful caff than somewhere that could have been accompanied by a string quartet. And on top of that...well, most of us are tourists. We didn't pack the afternoon tea dress. So I'm there in my jeans and Doc Martens, carrying a backpack - and I get what Groucho was saying. Why on earth would they let me in looking like this? I don't match the brocade. I suppose Angelina could be congratulated on not being snobby or unnecessarily exclusive - but I get the feeling this is happening because they want to capitalise on the Tourist Dolla rather than because they have societal convictions about tea rooms being the great equalisers. So beyond the fact they let me in? It was a mixed experience. Like many, I was pleased with the hot chocolate, which was rich and something special. However, the Mont Blanc was a bit of a let down - I expected a lot more meringue, but really it's 90% puffed up cream, which I suppose is nice but having ordered it for the meringue element, a bit of a disappointment. read more

Beautiful Paris ambiance. The service was better than most of the places I dined in Paris, they knew a little English and didn't treat me differently because I didn't speak French. I arrived around 12 noon and did not have to wait for a seat. I was seated downstairs in the tea room which was beautifully decorated, seemed like authentic Parisian style. Ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon and a croissant, it was delicious even though it wasn't as hot in temperature as I normally like. Per Yelp reviews I decided to take a hot chocolate with cream to go, and it did not disappoint! Best hot chocolate I've ever had, its worth the $6 splurge and make sure you get it with whip cream! read more

So overrated. The wait was fine--45 minutes, but that's expected--but the waiter was much more curt and ruder than literally any other restaurant I've been to in Paris. The food is all incredibly overpriced in comparison to portion size, and a half-glass of orange juice (!) was 8 euro. Such a crazy experience. read more

My boyfriend and I visited Angelina the morning of Valentine's Day, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a 'dessert day' all around Paris, and this was our first stop. Who says we can't have desserts for breakfast..? ;) We ordered Angelina's signature old-fashioned hot chocolate "L'Africain" and their signature pastry, Le Mont-Blanc. The hot chocolate is served as a pitcher of dark chocolate that is really rich and thick, with a small pot of fresh whipped cream, enough to make two cups of creamy hot chocolate. Mmm...I was in chocolate heaven! My boyfriend does not have a big sweet tooth like me, but he was amazed at how delicious Le Mont-Blanc was! The meringue may be a little too sweet, but the pastry, as a whole, was light and fluffy, just...heavenly. The service was slower than expected, but it was Valentine's Day, so they were quite busy. The servers were very polite and they do speak English. However, for a well-known fancy tea room in Paris (especially to tourists), I did not feel as though the servers were as welcoming and friendly as I had anticipated. All in all, the money is worth the experience and a taste of their signature items. I am sure there are a lot of famous chocolatiers that make amazing hot chocolate as well, but Angelina is cute and fancy, inside and out. I plan to come back next time I visit Paris to enjoy a bit of breakfast or brunch here! read more

I have to be honest here... The place is really cute. The servers are kind. The food is good (nothing out of this world) and the hot chocolate is....disgusting. It's terrible. It's thick and dark and it was so hard for me to down. I needed some sugar and creamer but all they gave me was a tiny cup of unsweetened whipped cream. How sad. The bread served was extremely hard, I know this is the French way, but I was so embarrassed I didn't know how to eat it! I loved it because I wasn't rushed and it was a nice ambiance. I didn't wait at all, just walked in and was immediately seated. I felt real comforted, even read my book. It's a lovely place but not for the hot chocolate. Also it's not expensive at all. Used to these prices in Miami so it seems fine to me. Only paid about $30 for my whole meal. read more

We stopped by for a snack after spending all day at le Louvre. It is such a beautiful dessert heaven. We got the coquette Madame and it is very good. The toast was buttery and crispy. My husband got their fois grois sandwich and again they gave you a big piece of fois grois, and it is very smooth and rich. Their signature hot chocolate is pricey but it is a big jar. We shared one together and it is very rich and strong. I think I could have another one but I am sure it is not very healthy! Definitely check out this place if you are near Le Louvre! read more

Angelina's was one of the better spots in Paris. There are several locations and are apparently known for their desserts. We had a group of five and fortunately the wait was not long to be seated. We all ordered desserts from ice cream to pastries as well as a hot chocolate that we split. Their macaroons were just ok but their pastries made up for it. The only disappointing thing was that they were out of eclairs, which I had my heart set on having. I'm not sure how by 2pm you but despite that, we enjoyed it read more

Wind-burned, nearly frostbitten face. Feet are cold stumps at the bottom of my legs. My legs have been on the move over cobblestones, tundra-like dirt, and Metro stairs for 9 hours. What's the fix? Stand in line for 30 minutes for some of Angelina's steaming hot, creamy, thick chocolate. Oui oui! I've heard that the food is also good, but I wouldn't know. All I can tell you about is the hot chocolate. It is a meal in itself, seriously. It is so thick and filling! Don't get one for yourself, trust me. Share it with a sweetie! =) read more

All I have to say is get the Hot Chocolate! I may even get in the summer. It is so rich and creamy I think I could stick a spoon in it and it may stand up. The line sometimes gets long but so worth the wait. read more

People are in and out, tables packed and service can be all over the place. The place is a little worn... couldn't help noticing the ceiling in the main dining room. But who really cares, the chocolate is thick, rich and decadent. Everyone wants decadent hot chocolate at well known Angelina. This must be what it was like to fall into the chocolate river in Willy Wonka. It comes with a little dollop of cream. For breakfast you can choose from some set menu combinations. This is probably the only sit down restaurant where i was given an american cup of coffee (I was expecting an espresso or cappuccino automatically). Scrambled eggs are okay, assortment of pastries is okay, fruit cocktail was one flavor from resting too long probably. Despite the meh food, i loved breakfast here. Sitting on Rue de Rivoli in a 100+ year old tearoom is as enjoyable as it gets. Side note: the mille feuille is delicious! read more

Angelina is one of those places to experience just once in your lifetime. There are several Angelinas spread throughout Paris (and the world), but the one to visit is definitely the Rivoli location because it is the first Angelina with the most gorgeous interior. I sat in the back at a corner table, and was astounded by the paintings on the wall and lighting fixtures. Very lovely place to be. In terms of food, yes, everything there is overpriced. They have an extensive pastry and dessert menu, which features their famous "African" hot chocolate and Mont-Blanc dessert. The hot chocolate is very thick, and ideal for chocolate lovers. Pastries were great, but I personally think you can find tastier ones costing much less at local pâtisseries. TL;DR: Experience Angelina once, try the hot chocolate & Mont-Blanc, and then seek other places for satiate your sweet-tooth in the future. read more

We came here twice on our trip because I liked it so much. We also tried les deaux magots as it is said they have a great hot chocolate as well. They do, but a very close second in my opinion.

when looking at restaurants in paris, angelina came highly rated for its hot chocolate, so we made it a must on our itinerary. the wait time wasn't too long, and the inside was so aesthetic. i loved the parisian interiors that gave the restaurant a pretty feel. our server was punctual. we ordered the rigatoni pasta, truffle mushroom ravioli, and the chicken supreme. all of the items tasted so unique and were genuinely amazing dishes. for dessert, we got the famous hot chocolate and the monte blanche. the hot chocolate was rich and tasty, but the monte blanche tasted too fake and sugary, but that is just a personal preference. i highly recommend this restaurant! it's famous for a reason! read more

I was advised by many that I can't leave Paris without having some hot chocolate from Angelina's. When we got in they let us know they were closing in 30 minutes and if we were still interested. We said yup cuz apparently we can't leave Paris without trying their hot chocolate, so we were seated. It was 3 of us and we ordered the 2 cup pot which was enough for all 3 of us to have about 2 cups each. We also ordered some of their cakes. The chocolate is really thick. The hot chocolate was just ok for me. Don't get me wrong, it was good but I've had better. The cakes were also just mediocre to me. read more

The bf even liked it and he doesn't like chocolate or sweets. We were passing by on our way back from the Lourve and of course we see a ridiculous line.. luckily, we only wanted to try the hot chocolate which was totally doable because not only did they have a small section where you could buy macaroons and other desserts and candies to-go, they also had an outside cart dedicated to hot chocolate sales only (we went inside anyway to check out the selection). Definitely a place to visit if you love hot chocolate or just if you're in Paris! :) read more

Over priced and mediocre food with bad service. All croissants I've had during my stay in France were on par or better than what Angelina Paris offered. Pistacho Mont Blanc was sweet but that's it.

Angelina is one of the gourmet temples in Paris. It's an old style tea-house/patisserie with a gorgeous display of fine cakes and desserts. If you ask me, the stuff they sell here is very good. But Angelina clearly lives off its good name and it's a very fashionable place. If you take away all the frills, their patisserie is not sooooo much better than at some of the other good but less famous places in town. Also, be prepared to pay double what you'd pay anywhere else. I paid 14 euros for a Mont Blanc and a Millefeuilles to take away. Ah almost forgot: also be prepared to stand in line for a while if you want a table. All in all for their history, for their setting just around the corner from the Louvre, for the presentation of their desserts, for the level of their service, Angelina is a must for all Paris visits. read more

After having Angelina's infamous chocolat à l'ancienne (dit l'africaine), I am spoiled forever. I can never have a hot chocolate outside and enjoy it. :( Luckily, I can still melt chocolate bars and mix it with warm almond milk, so I guess I'll be alright when I get back to the U.S. :x I've been to Angelina's quite a few times - for special occasions, for guests in Paris, and just for fun :) It's such a lovely place and I definitely enjoy being able to sit there for hours. I've had the Montblanc, the Olympe, the Millefeuille, the Eclair Mangue Passion, and the Religieuse Fraise Pistache. Here's the breakdown :) MONTBLANC - classic Angelina dessert - even though I love chestnut, the chestnut "vermicelli" really put me off. I don't know why, but I didn't really like it at all. =/ Make sure you like chestnut first, and then maybe you can get it. OLYMPE - quite good, but I personally don't like violet thaaat much. - I prefer the Ispahan at Ladurée, which also has litchi. :D - however, it's very hard to go wrong with a macaron with raspberries. MILLEFEUILLE - unfortunately, i've been spoiled. the best millefeuille i've had, by far, was at R Café. waaaay too delicious. - it was alright, though, as far as millefeuilles go, i guess ... ECLAIR MANGUE PASSION - hands-down the best pâtisserie i've had in paris. yes, even better than the millefeuille at R café. - i love mango and i love passion, and the way that this eclair absolutely bursts with flavor is incredible. the white chocolate gives a nice texture to it, too :) RELIGIEUSE FRAISE PISTACHE - not as good as a caramel religieuse, i think. - i usually love pistachio and strawberries (which is why i got this), but it was rather ordinary. :( read more

The hot chocolate is everything. A definite must try if you are in Paris. When I say hot chocolate, I mean hot chocolate that is super rich, smooth, and velvety. It's like sipping on melted milk chocolate. I would definitely recommend eating inside. The interior is an instagram dream and has a classic Parisian flair with its large landscape murals and polished mirrors surrounded by elegant white mouldings and chandeliers. My friend and I stopped by for the hot chocolate and the Mont Blanc gâteau after visiting the Louvre. The Mont Blanc is one of the cafe's signature (AKA classic) desserts. It's a meringue cake and chestnut cream vermicelli topped with a cute piece of white chocolate that has Angelina's logo on it. The cake was so fluffy and perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Be warned though, you may find a long wait time to get seated in the cafe (it was around 45 minutes for us!), but the prettiness of the interior was worth the wait (and also because it was raining the day we went, and we wanted to rest our feet). If the line is too long, you can also order pastries and hot chocolate at the counter to-go (plus I believe the to-go prices are less than dine-in). And that's just as well because if it's a sunny day, you can just walk across the street and enjoy it at Tulleries Garden which is equally as pretty! Overall, I would definitely recommend a visit to Angelina's for chocolate and dessert if you are ever in Paris. read more

Angela on Rue Rivoli was my first stop after checking in to my hotel just a short walk away. I had breakfast which included eggs, pastries, bread, and coffee. The service was impeccable and the food was great. The hot chocolate here is definitely a must have and the on-premise pastry shop is heaven. This is a very popular restaurant with several other locations and is frequented by locals and tourists. At certain times, I have seen long queues outside the restaurant for seating, which justifies its quality and service. read more

On my second trip to Paris, my husband and I finally got to stop in at Angelina. What a treat! I'm only sorry that we stopped in so late; they were about to close for the day. A traditional tea room, they are not open past 7:30pm. We arrived around 7:10pm. Luckily, the staff was nice enough to seat us and serve us - with the understanding they closed in twenty minutes. They were perfectly pleasant, and helped us with our order by directing us two of the most popular pastries. One was the Mont Blanc (I didn't get a picture, sorry!) and the other I didn't get the name of, but did get the picture. Both were sinfully gorgeous in taste and texture. We washed it down with English tea. Beware though: the prices are high! Still, we were glad for the experience and would have been disappointed if we missed it again! Also, the bathrooms are swanky and kept pristine. SO clean! read more
