    As my mom and I were strolling down the street in Paris, this bakery caught my eye. I wasn't sure what they were, but the unique texture and pretty colors beckoned us in and we purchased a couple of the mini desserts. They are extremely light-sort of like a marshmallow or whipped cream, rolled in a slightly crunchy flavorful concoction. I've never had anything like it before, but it was delicious. The yellow one was lemon and the pink was strawberry. We arrived just a bit before closing, so we didn't get to watch the magic from the window, like others have done. But if you can, I'd recommend you do it so you can see how this mysterious treat is made.

    Other delicious options!

    This was my first introduction to the Merveilleux Cakes and they were every bit scrumptious! So much flavor packed into this mini perfectly-sized mini merengue cake that I wanted to try them all! There were other sweet treats available for sale, so if you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth with something other than macaroons, give this lovely pastry shop a try!

    The little meringues are whatever honestly but the chocolate chip bread is legit! If you don't come early, there will be a long line on most days - especially the weekend. I was staying nearby so I came early am/end of day. I got the sugar bread and the chocolate chip one. The chocolate chip was by far my favorite...so good, I got it twice.

    My fiancé and I stumbled upon this bakery while we were on the way to our apartment. What stood out for me were the mini cakes facing the window. I went in to get a box of 6 for each of the different flavors they had. To my surprise, they were meringues. Each meringue dessert had a unique flavor palette and cream filling. The most memorable meringues for me were the chocolate flavor, the speculoos and white chocolate flavor, and the one covered in chocolate bits. I haven't had anything quite like these, so it was nice trying something completely new for dessert from a patisserie/boulangerie.

    I had the Cramique with raisins. I had no idea it would be warm. I had purchased it to have for breakfast tomorrow. Some of it made it back to where I'm staying. It's delicious. But what will I have for breakfast?

    First time having a Mervilleux pastry and was very impressed. It's so light, feels like you're eating a cloud. Definitely a dessert spot to check out if you have a sweet tooth.

    Merengues

    This place is merengue heaven. I feel like merengue is something that I get very excited about but typically tastes like it's been sitting on the shelf for a bit too long...not here. These merengues are so fresh, so hypnotizing and creative. I got the incroyable merengue (4.7/5) and I have to say as far as merengues go, this one really knocked it out of the park. The texture was on point. This is more of a "line up, order and leave" type of place, with nowhere to really sit. That being said, I would happily go back and try more types of merengues as passerby give me amused looks on the corner of the street.

    Stumbled upon Aux Merveilleux by chance and decided to try it out since I saw a line out the door - if there's a line, then it has to be good, right? Right exactly! Aux Merveilleux is famous for their meringues and after having one, I fully understand! Service here was super helpful and I ended up trying a mini coffee flavored meringue, but I now wished that I got the medium sized because I couldn't get enough! Slightly crunchy but so airy at the same time, it was perfection!

    Wasps like it too!

    We got a fair amount of sugary treats while walking in Paris. The first time we passed Aux Merveilleux de Fred, I was full from eating fallafel and ice cream. The second time, we decided it was fate and ended up purchasing a few desserts to go with our poulet roti. They offer a large (3.5€) and small (1.75€) sized meringue dessert. I'm not exactly sure what you call the meringue desserts but let me just say, it's like eating sweet pillows of heaven! Forget macarons, these little babies are to me so much more delicious and special! We purchased the chocolate, speculoos, cherry, and cafe flavors. All were AMAZING! I'm in love! They also sell other pastries but they were covered in what looked like wasps. I was shocked that this seemed normal to the workers and customers. That is actually true throughout Paris. But for me, I just couldn't get over having wasps crawling all over food I was about to eat. While this bakery isn't too close to our hotel, I have a feeling we'll visit one more time before we leave Paris. They are just too delicious to pass up and I need to get my fill! Who knows when we'll visit Paris again?!

    Omg!!! That became our favorite spot for the fresh and super tasty pastry rolls and those little pastries "Merveilleux ". Incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious rolls and pastry. We didn't try the cakes, but the rolls - we keep coming here every day of our stay in Paris. We tried many things in different pastry shops, nothing is even close to those rolls. They make them right on spot, and the cakes as well, you see the whole process. Our favorite was the roll with raisins!!!!! My The packaging is also very sophisticated and elegant. Liked everything. The service was great too, the salesperson/ baker was super nice and polite. The place is not cheap, but so worth it!!!

    A sampler of all the flavors. They smooshed together on the walk home. So good!
    Kim M.

    We came here in our Secret Food Tour of Le Marais. Sampled the most amazing merengue desserts. We brought a sampler box back to our flat but they smooshed together. It did not affect the taste at all! Miam Miam!

    Was going for a drink at Caviste Vinosfera and saw a long line waiting outside. Looked up and it's known for Merengue. Tried salted caramel and chocolate, preferred the caramel even though I'm usually a chocolate fan. The caramel one just got a lot more interesting texture. Worth a visit!

    The mini wig/heads were amazing! I had praline Magnifique. They melt in your mouth and are very rich.

    This small shop by the Marche des Enfants Rouges, Paris' outdoor covered market, is definitely…read moreworth the stop. When I went, there was a long line that stretched through much of the block. They allow one group at a time into the shop for a fully curated Jamon Beurre experience. Yep, that is all you can get here. Ham sandwiches, but it's a much more involved experience than that. When you walk in, there is an entire wall with a cooler displaying every kind of ham possible. You have to pick whether you want cured or just baked ham. What region? They offer Italian, French, Spanish and then you have to narrow it down to the region! Then you do the same with the cheese. I ended up getting two sandwiches, the cured ham from Spain's basque country paired with Ossau-Iraty, or basque sheep milk cheese. My other sandwich was a French baked ham sandwich with comte. Which was the winner? I have to say, the cured meat from Spain was out of this world and in our taste test, was the top winner. I know, I shouldn't say that in France!

    Worth the wait! Waited for only about 30 minutes for this lunch spot and it was well worth the…read morewait! We had no idea what the menu said or what to get and the worker was so sweet and helped explain all of the options and what the favorites were. Small little shop, only allows 1 group at a time which honestly makes you feel like rushed/judged. We went with 2 types, one cooked and one curated meat and the one with Brie cheese and one with truffle cheese. Absolutely phenomenal and would recommend if youre in pairs!
