Great experience! Took the Pare de Choux class with Chef Eric and learned a ton! He was super patient with the new bakers, and gave great tip and tricks for those that knew a little more about baking. Highly recommend to anyone who likes too bake. I also got a whiff of the sauce class going on in another room and it smelled amazing. I will go back if I am ever back in Paris! read more

My daughter and I had a great experience. We took the advanced choux class and learned so much in such a short time ( 3 hours) We even were able to take away 3 boxes full of pastry we made to share with our family. I wish we had time to do more classes- next time for sure! read more

The cooking school is owned by an American and many of the teachers are Americans as well. However they seemed to have been in France for a long time and have acquired impeccable cooking techniques. I booked a macaron technical course online and the class location is very easy to find next to the Seine. It was an enjoyable three hours with seven fellow classmates. read more

What a treat! Diane (Pastry Chef) walked us through several types of pastries to be enjoyed using the croissant batches we made. This was a very hands on, well paced and enjoyable 3 hour course in English. Everyone from La Cuisine was so hospitable. The location is so easy to find and the facilities are beautiful! My niece and I left with bags of treats to enjoy for the rest of our stay in Paris. This was one of the best memories that we shared during our trip and when I return to Paris I will look forward to taking another course...maybe crepes?!? Merci La Cuisine!! read more

We took a 2 hour Macaron class here a couple weeks ago. This place is really cute, staff is friendly and helpful. Eric was the chef who taught our class, there were 7 of us in the group. Eric was great at explaining the recipe and showing us technique as well. He is a highly experienced pastry chef and was really knowledgeable! It was a great was to spend an afternoon and learn something at the same time! The macrons turned out really good. We enjoyed our time with this class, I would recommend it to people. It was one of the highlights of our stay in Paris! Don't miss the opportunity! read more

LaCuisine was fun. All tourist students in my class. Eric (our teacher) was wonderfully patient and worked well with a variety of baking skill levels. I was (and still am) the novice. Others were advanced students, but we all had fun, learned a lot and left stuffed. Fun! read more

Mon amis! This quaint, American operated cooking school might not be authentically Parisian but it is definitely worth visiting! I took a crossiant making class with my mother in June and it was one of my favorite things we did during our three weeks in Europe. It was such fun baking with my mom (I recommend brining a partner or going in a group), and the instructor was incredibly friendly and helpful! Come hungry because you bake a whole lot of pastries, which are to say the least, to die for. The pastries I personally prepared were the best I had in France, and I am not trying to boast! They were incredibly delicious and you get to take them home even with the recipe! It is clean, efficient and wonderfully run. read more

I took the 3 hour macaron intensive technical class. It was really good! They divided us in groups of 2. Our teacher was chef Guillaume and he was great with a dry and witty sense of humor which made the class more fun! The class was very informative and hands on. We learned 2 different recipes of macarons and 4 different fillings. I've done macarons before but they never came out right, with this class I was finally able understand a lot of mistakes I was making and Guillaume gave us several tips to get the best macarons. I left with a box of macarons of different colors and flavors hat we made in class. I would recommend this class to everyone. The staff that worked and Le Cuisine Paris were all very nice and helpful. I will definitely take another class with them when I go back to Paris, but this time a savory one like the boulangerie and bread making one :) read more

Arrived late due to traffic but still managed to have a great class. Learned the art of making Italian macarons. Chef was very kind, helpful and patient. Would definitely recommend the class. Would also recommend you price compare supplies before you buy. The company has created a map that helps. Nevertheless, I'd be sure to check online too! read more

Highly recommend La Cuisine!!!! The staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating & helpful, and the classes & tours are top notch. We were able to make the Gastronomy Les Halles food tour shortly after arriving in Paris, and it was wonderful!!!! Amber was an amazing tour guide, so informative & knowledgable; and catered to our group's likes. The food was sooooo good!!! And I heard first hand how wonderful the Sauces class was from a fellow tour attendee. Will definitely attend more classes/tours on our next trip! :) read more

We took the class to learn how to cook sauces. We were pleasantly surprised by the whole operation. Reception and kitchen were welcoming and well maintained. The business is conveniently located near the tourist office in City Hall. Although I speak French, I was relieved to discover the class was presented in well-spoken English. Justin was our chef and teacher and he was remarkable. He not only outlined the class and what we were to accomplish, but explained the science and showed us each step to success. In the end we had eight amazing sauces (bearnaise, red wine and shallot, port wine, béchamel, vinaigrette, caramel au beume sale, chocolate and mayonnaise) made by us and were able to sit and enjoy each of them with a small meal when they were completed. The whole operation is well presented, streamlined and fun. We did not feel rushed and were treated like royalty. No clean up, no hassle. Enjoy! read more

My friend and took a gastronomy walking tour through île St. Louis and île de la Cité . Everything was awesome including our tour guide Amber. Highly recommend. Thanks La Cuisine for a wonderful experience. read more

Enjoyed another memorable market cooking class at La Cuisine. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

I thought I was on a food network travel show. I had booked the Macaron class, but took the culinary exploration class due to scheduling. Jeno was amazing. We explored the food scene in the chic Marais region. We not only learned about ordering and choosing fruit, vegetables, cheeses, charcuterie, foie gras, chocolates, wine, pastries, and baguettes, but ate everything in sight. A truly hands on experience. You make new friends and learn a great deal not only about food but the French culture as well. A culinary journey awaits your senses and will add to your time in Paris. It helps first timers get a French way of doing things with regards to all things food. Bon appetit! read more

My trip happened to line up with the second run of a new French hor d'oeuvres class they've recently started offering. This class was phenomenal!! Our chef was expertly trained (and has a bit of celebrity notoriety). You can tell he was used to working in very busy kitchens because he was an expert and handling 3 or 4 things at the same time very smoothly. He also explained much of the art of flavor balancing between dishes, which is something I'd never really considered. For example, one of our dishes brought a bit of acidity while another brought a hint of sweet, another salt, and so on. I'd never really thought of pairing food like that but it was brilliant. (I think most people I know just try to season everything up with garlic and it all tastes the same in the end.) I think the recipes were perfect as is, but the way the art of the hor d'oeuvres was taught during the class, I'll be able to tweak recipes when needed and use these skills to bring my dinner parties and games nights to a whole new level. The kitchen was very very large, and my class came with a couple of strongly opinionated women. I was very impressed about how the chef was able to manage this and keep the class on track. When one of them pushed (quite strongly) to dump garlic in everything to make it taste the same, the chef calmly and politely stood his ground and used it as a teaching experience to talk about balance of flavors. This is definitely a talented chef who is an expert at keeping many people in a busy kitchen in line. Out of all the cooking classes I've taken, I would definitely put this one at the top of the list for "must do" because it's the one class that you can recall for skills over and over again. read more

My family (two teenage girls, my husband and my mother in law) and I took their French Pastry class from Eline. I can't say enough great things about our experience. Eline was knowledgeable, through and beyond sweet. We left with knowing how to make three delicious pastries and with enough sweets to hold us over for a week. I would highly recommend this cooking school and Eline everyone!! read more

I booked a macaron baking class for me, my husband, and our 13 year old daughter two months in advance. With the 3 of us, I knew that classes fill up fast and wanted to make the reservation. It was a 2 hour class from 1:30 - 3:30pm, the cost was €65 per person, and there's a maximum of 8 people in the class. Our teacher was Guillaume. Making macarons is not easy; it's a lot of work to make them correctly! We worked in pairs, taking turns to do specific tasks. Guillaume was very informative in teaching us how to make macarons. We made white chocolate pistachio, milk chocolate earl grey, and white chocolate rasberry ganache. The class was a lot of fun to do together as a family in Paris. And we each were able to each take a box of macarons home! They were delicious! Everyone at La Cuisine Paris was very nice and even gave us some restaurant recommendations. read more

I just got back from a trip to Paris, and my pastry class at La Cuisine Paris was by far my favorite part of the trip! Our class (taught in English, only 7 people total) was very informative and a lot of fun. We learned how to make a variety of Parisian pastry dishes (choquettes, paris-brest) and took home boxes of them. They were delicious! I've taken cooking classes before and what I loved about this one is that in addition to learning how to make the current dish, the teacher gave us pointers for how we'd do this at home. I feel like I really took a way a good understanding of french pastry that I didn't have before. Additionally, we had a chance to talk to the owner (from Chicago!!) and understand her story. It was great to chat with her and learn about her experiences in Paris. Plus, she gave us some great restaurant suggestions in the city. I have family that live in Paris and will certainly be back! I plan to take a class here each time I go. Thank you!! read more

Of all the cooking schools I've tried, La Cuisine has given me the best experience and what's more, they have the winning combo of location, facility, instructors and originality. A must for any local or visitor! If you can, try the market class - it has you sourcing the ingredients at a local open-air market that you'll use to cook your meals. read more

My husband and I took the French Market cooking class. Fantastic experience. We began our day at the Marché Maubert shopping for seasonal produce, fish and cheese (class price includes the cost of market purchases). After shopping, we walked to the La Cuisine Paris shop in the Marais where our Alice Waters-trained chef/teacher took us step by step in the process of cooking a truly French (not to mention delicious) meal. The class was small, hands-on and the teacher did a great job assigning tasks based on the skill level of the students. So my husband - who can just about boil water when he's motivated - had as much fun as I did. This is great way to see a side of Paris that's authentic and just a little off the beaten track. If we come back to Paris, I'll definitely investigate taking another one of their other classes. read more

The first to review... yay! Last month some friends and I took a trip to Paris and the macaron class at La Cuisine was at the top of our list. After finding it and seeing it on Trip Advisor, my friend booked the English class for us. Jane was extremely helpful in answering our questions prior and post class. The chef teaching our class Jenni worked at Laduree so we were sure she was going to show us something amazing. And amazing it was. Jenni was encouraging and easy to learn from. I hope to try the market class next time. I definitely recommend La Cuisine for your next trip to Paris. Worth every penny...err euro. =) read more

We had a wonderful time with Chef Eric making pate a choux recipes! This was a great choice to make recipes with our daughter and warm and friendly environment! Highly recommend! read more

Was brought to this class by surprise and loved it! Lise was our Chef for the day and it couldn't have been a better experience. From starting in the market to eating all together while admiring our plates of food it was truly an unforgettable lunch. read more

Chef Segoline's class was the highlight of our trip to Paris! For our anniversary, my husband and I took the croissant making class this past June. We learned how to make many other treats as well and they let all of us taste and take home all of the baked goods! I would recommend La Cuisine Paris to anyone! read more

We took the Le Croissant & Traditional Breakfast Pastries Class and it was really excellent. Pastry Chef Eric was a terrific teacher, and they very smartly use a typical kitchen and typical tools (i.e. NOT professional grade) so that you can replicate the recipes at home easily. I've taken cooking and baking classes in the US where you're basically just slapping ingredients together - it's fun but you don't learn much. With La Cuisine, I feel like we really learned some great techniques, not just for croissants but for baking in general. I would definitely return for another class and I highly recommend La Cuisine. read more

We took the macaron class and it was a blast. Great instruction but approachable for adults and kids.

I had a fabulous time and learned so much. Eline and Eric are wonderful chef teachers and explain things in a manner making it easy for the home cook. I can't wait to go home and impress all my friends with my French baking skills. read more

If you are visiting Paris absolutely go & take a class with La Cuisine. It was one of our favorite activities we did on our trip. I came with a friend and we participated in the market class. The chef takes the group to the market & explains how to pick fresh fish, meat, cheese and vegetables. The group decides what they'd like to make based on the chef's recommendations of what looks fresh. This is a great class to take if you have dietary restrictions as you can say "no beef" or whatever it is and they will accommodate you. For our class we made a French cheese plate, fish with beurre blanc with roasted vegetables (including small artichokes). For dessert we made a shortbread with roasted figs & chantilly. They also provided salad, bread & wine. After cooking, we sat down at the table to eat together. The location is new & modern with lots of equipment and a lovely area to eat your meal. The chef was knowledgable and friendly and it was fun to cook with and meet new people. As an experienced cook I was worried that I wouldn't learn anything new but I had never filleted a fish before or made a beurre blanc. It was absolutely worth the rather expensive price tag. If I get to come back I'd love to take a macaron or baguette class. read more

Average but expensive cooking classes with the rudest owner one could ever imagine. Lackluster recipes, and not much hands on. Avoid.

Took the "Macaron Magique" class here and had a blast. Each pair made a different flavor, and at the end, we swapped so everyone got to take home four different ones (chocolate, chocolate + coffee, white chocolate + pepper, white chocolate + raspberry). In all, we got about 16 macarons per person, depending on the size (smaller macarons = more macarons). Would have liked to maybe poll / choose some different flavors to make beforehand just because I found the chocolate and coffee ones a bit rich for me personally, but otherwise, no complaints. It was fun being able to eat our own creations, but because we took the class the first day we were in Paris, it also meant that we inadvertently missed out on trying out all the different macarons on offer in the city because we were busy eating our own. They allow you to take photos, but some classmates looked at my husband askance when he did. Hey, we're all here to have fun, to make new memories, and for some of us, photos cement those memories, especially if you're on a 2-week, go-till-you-drop whirlwind vacation and have difficulty remembering what happened until reminded. :P read more

It's really quite hard to write up just a minimal overview and review of La Cuisine Paris.... so we made an entire blog post and video about our incredible experience with Chef Diane and the rest of the staff at La Cuisine Paris! If you are pondering about signing up and taking a class while you are in Paris, don't hesitate clicking yes please sign me up online, just do it!! http://backpackbees.com read more

I admit I have not taken a cooking class elsewhere in Paris but this was tres magnifique! I took the croissant and pain au chocolate course and not only did the instructor teach us step by step on these, but we also learned and made custard and pain de raisin, and got to eat them with cafe au lait or tea after! It was so much fun, and the class was led in English so very helpful. Would highly recommend this course. read more

So much fun to go to the local shops on Ile St. Louis and then cook the food. Ryan was wonderful to work with, and the food we made was delicious. Would do this again! read more

I just took the macaron class with Chef Eric and in addition to the very fine and explicit instructions we were treated to all the macarons we could make to take with us. He gave us some great tips that you don't find in a cookbook. Everyone got several chances to do all the steps required to make the macarons. With so many different countries represented by all the attendees made for an especially fun time. It was really educational and as a result I just signed up for the Grand Classics class and I'm sure that will be just as wonderful. read more

I loved my class. The teacher (Chef) was as professional and smart as they come. It was completely worth the time and money. I wish I had more time for a second class. read more

This is a small business and seems to be run as such. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. The owner was onsite when our class let out and was very warm and genuinely curious about our experience. I've emailed their staff with questions and they've responded within a few hours - very promptly. Someone came late to one of the classes I took (I've taken two) and the instructor knew their name and was ready to update them on what they missed when there was a free moment. My first instructor for the AM Market class was a little rough around the edges and a little anxious - it made for a somewhat stressful experience. Although the instruction was great and the food was delicious. My second instructor for the tech macaroon class was patient, fun and very friendly. The class was wonderful. Also, both instructors went over their credentials at the start of the class and had impressive pedigrees. A lot of diversity in experience and time spent at recognizable, well-respected restaurants/institutions. I would whole-heartedly recommend these guys. From the greeting you get when you enter, to the local map they give you of their "neighborhood favorites" when you leave, the entire experience is pleasant, memorable and informative (they take great care in making sure that you really do learn!). read more

My husband and I did the croissant and breakfast pastries cooking class with Chef Emily yesterday morning. It was absolutely wonderful. We learned how to make croissants, pain Suisse (my favorite!!), pin wheels with sugar and chocolate chips, among other things. The best part was after the cooking was done when we got to enjoy some coffee and tea with the fruits of our labor. And there was plenty leftover to take home! Made for a nice breakfast the next day. Next time we return to Paris, we will definitely sign up for the macaron class! read more

Took the French market cooking class. Emily was our teacher. She was great. She was so enjoyable and very interesting. She was also very knowledgeable. She gave us so much interesting information at the market and also while we were cooking. What a great time! I would definitely do it again. I highly recommend this cooking school. read more

CHEF RYAN! He was amazing! So nice and knowledgeable and made us feel right at home. The class was centered around cooking crepes, but I felt that I learned so much more: how to cook vegetables to perfection, debunking common food myths (don't blanch vegetables), etc. We made a savory crepe with leeks, shallot, garlic with fresh goat cheese in a buckwheat crepe topped with bacon and a side salad. For the dessert crepe: caramel and whipped cream. Everything tasted spectacular and this made for an amazing afternoon with a special group! Highly recommend and kudos to Ryan for teaching us valuable cooking skills! read more
