We got: 1) Tarte tatin 2) 8 macarons The tarte tatin wasn't that great. I liked the macaron options but wasn't blown away by the taste. You'll be tempted to eat the decorative macarons glued to christmas trees while waiting in line for a good 20 minutes...Don't! :) Regular (unglued!) macarons are good for up to four days, if you're thinking about bringing it home to your macaron-fiend of a friend. I was kinda bummed to find locations in London and NYC, but it's definitely cheaper than its NYC counterpart. My fiend (friend?) paid $48 USD for 8 while I paid $23 USD for 8. read more

The macarons is alright. Sorry but Pierre Herme won the macaron crown for me (that says a lot because I never cared for macarons until those delicate colorful delights entered my life). What gave this place a 4 star it's their delicious orange, parmesan orzo with medium cooked steak. Ahhh really the orzo won my taste buds here. Since coming home I tried to recreate it and so far not successful. I may have to travel back to Paris just for it. Service is just lille any European service. You have to ask what you want and when you want it. read more

Of course they are famous for their macarons, and my friend is still raving about the orange blossom one she had (her first), but I I had to start my day with something more substantial and a bit breakfast oriented. My friend devoured her macarons as her breakfast appetizer, then had a Bostock, which is an almond pastry. I went with the classic pain au raisin, which was healthier because it had raisins :) It was a great way to get breakfast on the go when we had many sights to squeeze in on a short visit. read more

Frankly, I prefer Ladurée over Pierre Hermé, but still, I've had macarons just as good in the U.S. (hard to believe, I know). There is always a line to get into this hot-spot, so there was no avoiding it when I decided to go when I was in Paris. The workers spoke English (granted, since it's a popular establishment that attracts people from all over the world), but I ordered in French. Got a box of 6 for about 16-17 euros (pricey, but it's expected), some traditional flavors (salted caramel), others seasonal (peach, mint). My mistake was eating two of them only a few hours later. While the cookie was soft and chewy, the filling didn't burst with flavor. What I learned was to store them in the fridge and wait a day or two before taking them out, thawing them, and eating them. Which was what I did with the rest of my macarons, and boy oh boy, it made all of the difference! The peach, especially, burst with summertime sweetness, and I was in heaven. Would I go back to Ladurée in the future? Possibly. For other seasonal delectables! read more

If you're a fan of macarons this is definitely a must while visiting Paris. We stopped by later in the afternoon so luckily we missed the busy rush times and were seated fairly quickly outside. We had a delicious cucumber salad, which had the most tasty mustard sauce. I also had super sized fat fries which were tasty and very filling. After our late lunch we went inside to take a look at the desserts! The desserts were perfection. We had a fancy cream puff and a few macaroons. We also got a box of chocolates that we enjoyed when we got home. All were super tasty!! To me the macaroons tasted just as good as our own Bottega Louie in la. I also realized where Bottega got most their dessert and design ideas.... But won't go there! The restrooms were super nice! Service was good. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is bc of the price. This place is ridiculously over priced. Almost laughable. As a tourist I had to visit, but I don't think I'll be back more than once per euro visit. read more

I think this is one of the busiest Laduree locations in Paris. It's right in the heart of Champs Elysees, so all the tourists come here to pick up their fill of these sweet desserts. Luckily, we arrived at a good time, and only had to wait about 10 minutes in line till someone helped us pick out our macarons. Selected 8 flavors, they were packaged in a box to enjoy later. My husband also ordered a pistachio chocolate croissant (interesting filling inside) and I bought a madeleine too! :) soooo good. We bought these sweets last night, and by this afternoon - they are all gone and devoured in our tummies. :( No more souvenirs to bring back to the states, yikes! :) Next time, I want to try the Pierre Herme macarons, in order to compare the two brands! read more

You can't miss Ladurée while strolling down Champs-Élysées. It's about a 10 minute walk if you're starting from the Arc de Triomphe. It's obviously and probably the best bakery/restaurant ever to get some macarons (I mean what other macaron place is more famous in France?). Try to come during a time there aren't 500 billion people in line. Albeit, the line goes relatively quickly and they have free wifi to keep yourself busy while you wait (for those travelers who can't use the French cell phone towers). At first I wanted to sit down in the restaurant and try whatever they had to offer but I thought to myself no one comes here for the food so I decided to eat somewhere else after grabbing some delicious macarons. Hopefully the picture you take with the exterior of the building isn't polluted by other random humans. read more

Run away as far as you can from this place! This place is a tourist trap! On our Europe trip, this place was the only place that I got stuck waiting in line for despite the fact that all the other restaurants/cafes we've went are just as famous as this spot. It may be that this was located in one of the busiest streets, shopping boulevard, but the wait was crazy and totally not worth it. There are 4 lines for Laduree; one for indoor eating, dessert pick up, ice cream, and for patio seating. We opted for the patio seating since the lines going indoor was just blasphemy, not to mention that they do not have AC and we felt the heat just by looking at the entrances. After an hour and half wait, we overkilled it with sweets to get our waits worth. Had their macarons, ice cream, isphan, camomoile tea, and elysee (chocolate dessert) for 2 people. Needless to say, I did finish everything... but everything tasted as if something was missing, maybe flavor. Though I do favor the macaron flavors here over Pierre. Definitely visit the laudree in the states. You're not missing out much by visiting here. Also, by any chance you wanted to torture yourself, by any means, by visiting Laduree in Paris, go with A LOT of patience. Not only did it take an hour and a half to be seated, it took us an hour to get our orders in and another hour to get our checks. I know flagging the servers is considered rude in France, but come on... an hour to get water?! I was literally about to have a fit, out of thirst and exhaustion, and after seeing that the table next to me was served before I was even given water, when we had sat before them. I will give a tiny slack, however, since the logistics was pretty physical for the servers as they were going in and out the restaurant to get our food... but regardless, nightmare. read more

Worth. Every. Penny. Thought this would be over-hyped but it is so delicious. We chose the breakfast package with pastries, tea (Marie Antoinette is the best black tea, so yummy!), eggs of your choice, fruit, and juice. Delicious food, but presentation was also excellent from the china to the jams/butter displays on the side. We were starving, and this was brunch so we also ordered a french toast to share. The toast was beyond delicious - perfectly slightly crispy on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside. The syrup comes in a little bottle (looked like liquor at first), for you to use. We sat on the first floor, but ensure you visit the second floor while you're there - literally like it's own little Versailles palace - gorgeous interior upstairs, even the bathroom was pretty! The service is very on-point as well - servers know the menu well, they are quick, and friendly. Gets very busy so ensure you make a reservation if you can! read more

visiting paris is never complete without visiting the world famous Laduree. the mother branch of branches spans 3 floors and design so nicely befitting the fashion sense in the city of love. every time we walk by, there was always a line up out the door. today for some reason, the line was short so we quickly joined in.... we were in awe of this exquisite patisserie...everything inside is so delectable that the diet simply cannot exist here. you just have to indulge and give in every once in a while. we ordered a box of 8 and it was such a treat. we brought it to the Eiffel tower as we were going there to see the lights.. each bite was heavenly. the soft crust when bitten together with the creamy filling....wow! simply amazing! my only complain is that , yes, it is pricey as hell! but you only live once, and only visit paris once in a blue moon. so, love yourself and reward yourself for all your hard work. a must visit when in the city of Love! cheers! happy eating and safe travels!! read more

Try to come when it's not busy. I've been here twice, once early, and once late, and was able to walk on in. It's very touristy, yet so French and so cute, you have to do it at least once! The macarons and pretty and perfect. I shared the Isaphan with my friend and it was the most expensive yet best dessert of my life. The raspberries were the best I've tasted in my life and the combination of lychee and raspberry is unique and hard to find. read more

I would have given this place 5 stars, but I did not like how they prevent you from coming into their store if it is too busy. I understand that it can be a fire hazard if too many people are in it, but two groups of two men plowed right through the line knocking us out of the way, cutting the line outside. The workers tried stopping them but didnt do anything once they were in. It was snowing, so its not like I wanted to be outside either. Besides that I think the line moved super quickly and efficiently, the staff was nice and well informed, the macaroons are always consistent, and I would come back again if I like macaroons more. read more

The French invented these little sugar hockey pucks called Macarons. The makers typically scent them up, color them all garish-like, spread some kind of jelly in the middle, and *presto* they became the favorite snack item of basic people worldwide. I don't think much of them - not really difficult to make (unlike a gateau frosted in ganache and filled with something light and not shelf-stable), and utterly monochromatic (wow. It's a raspberry colored thing filled with raspberry inside, how revelatory). My wife used to have them once in a awhile, but ever since we seen the possibilities out there (kunafe, Brigideros, pastilles tres leches), even that premise had worn thin. Down in the Soho section of Manhattan there is a shop called Laduree, which is an outpost of a Parisian chain - the area is chic and you are buying into the "exclusivity" narrative. The Macarons are $2.50 each and come in fancy aqua boxes. The first time I got one as a gift from my wife (girlfriend at the time) I opened up the box and immediately stuck one up my armpit since I thought they were toiletries. Fortunately she saved her piece of (pastachio) and gave me half, and I had sticky lavender pits that evening. It was good...but nothing too memorable. Fast forward 2 years. Me and the missus are in Paris for our honeymoon, walking down the Champs Elysses, and we were getting peckish. That's when my wife spotted it. The Laduree on the C-E. Oh - Merde. For those who want the original, it's on Rue Royale near place de la Madeleine in 1er - the C-E location opened around '97 or so. Me and my wife debated on whether we should grab a Macaron and enjoy it in the parc, or we should go inside for a meal. Well, their prix-fixe is 48 Euros and features monkfish filets with root vegetables, a pot of tea, and 4 Macarons. Considering the restos on the C-E are all bona-fide tourist traps, it's either hit Monoprix for a sandwich, waiting until we get back to the AirBnB for a home-cooked meal, or just bear it here. And bear it we did. So the first problem is that the tearoom isn't really luxurious as much as it gave off the pretense of luxury minus the substance. Behind the intricate wood paneling were worn peeling carpet runners, paint patched with gaffers tape, and the tables were wobbly (cheap worn furniture). Let us not forget that Laduree is just a business unit of Paul (the bakery) since '93. Second, the service was...indifferent. I understand if this is some Haitian joint on the 19e and they barely parle Francais, much less en anglais, but this is one of most touristy spots in Paris and they were pretending not to speak English just to mess with you. Hell, I was able to have a friendly chat with the 93er (Parisian nickname for people who live in Department 93 aka the poor suburbs outside Paris, as opposed to the 75ers, who are from the 20 Arrondissements within) manning the Paul down on Avenue FDR. So what about the food? Eeeeh. The tea is okay (but seriously, if I want tea I'll cross the Channel or go to Kusmi), the monkfish with Madagascar vanilla doesn't taste like much. Heavy mouthfeel, no vanilla notes, nothing to write home about. The Macarons with coffee were okay, but once again, it's the same stuff I shoved up my armpit back in NYC. I honestly had more fun eavesdropping on the Hong Kong fashion designer on the next table talking to a Parisian fashion house matriarch and his Paris based mentor than I did eating here. The food was mediocre, the service was indifferent, and the decor were bleh. Well, at least the bill came quick. Anyways, will I have another Macaron? Sure. All the patisseries in Paris has one. Dalloyau has it. Angelina has it. Hell, the "local François" patisserie down the block has them, and they are not nearly as expensive. There's really no reason to buy them here. Just don't. You don't want to unlock that yelp tourist rube badge. read more

I've been here multiple times now on my trips to Paris in the past few years and finally getting around to writing the review. Try the macaroons at least once however I would also say try to pastries. Pictures as posted. There is an apple pastry (strudle of sorts) that is absolutely amazing. I had it on New Years Eve of 2018 and it was to die for. I would highly recommend trying their actual bakery in addition to the macaroons. It is an experience. I think you can find macaroons at other places just as good as well though, remember it is Paris! read more

Ladurée is one of those places that has the power to reign you completely into the present moment. I'll never forget the morning I spent at the Champs-Élysées location with my husband during our romantic adventure to Paris. Use the side entrance and grab a seat at the counter. This upscale cafe area is located just past the pastry shop and is a quiet, pleasant place to enjoy your experience. The menu is extensive and includes the complete selection of macarons, coffees, light pastries and teas. The atmosphere is refined, yet not stuffy at all. There are now locations around the world, but there's nothing quite like experiencing the flagship location on Champs-Élysées. Pro Tips: - Come earlier in the morning before the lunchtime rush - Order the raspberry macaron with rose petal cream filling - Relax and linger over your refreshments Fun Fact: - Women were not allowed at cafes in the late 1800s in Paris. Ladurée was one of the first cafes where women could go by themselves! read more

This is a tourist trap that I can assure you will happy to miss on your trip to Paris. Located on the Champs-Élysées, which in itself is a spot to skip overall, this place thrives of tourism and has terrible service and mediocre food. I've been here twice, once with my family and once with my wife. Both times the service was horrible, it took forever to get our food and at the end of the day nothing was very good. It is also rather expensive. Do yourself a favor and just get some macarons to go. read more

This is the place to get your macaron fix in Paris. If you want authentic Parisian macarons GO HERE. Enough said. It'll be busy when you go and there will definitely be a line unless you go at a really off time but they are pretty efficient and it will move quick enough. They are pricey and you'll probably drop a pretty penny to try all the flavors but the macarons here a beautiful and totally delicious and well worth the money spent. read more

I've been here three times when visiting Paris; twice to visit the boutique, and once for a sit-down breakfast. It's easy to get here using the metro, as the George V metro stop is just a few minutes' walk away. The first 2 times I visited, I came very early in the morning (7:30-7:45) to avoid the crowds. The third time, I came in the early afternoon to pick up gifts from the boutique and it was rather busy; there was a long queue and many of the tourists were taking pictures and placing large orders for macaron boxes (you can pick your flavors so it can take awhile if you're not familiar or if there are language barriers; you can also pick up pre-selected boxes if you're in a rush). The staff at the boutique are polite but not overly friendly. At least one of them could speak Spanish as well as English and French. I enjoyed having breakfast here, although it's definitely an expensive treat, so I would recommend coming early and taking your time. When I arrived around 7:45 AM, I was the 2nd customer, but a few other customers arrived shortly afterwards. I ordered the raspberry-rose French toast and the Marie Antoinette tea; the toast was very tasty and came with rose-flavored whipped cream and raspberry sauce. You can also order macarons at the table; my server brought me a menu if their flavors when I asked. My breakfast came out to be about 25€, steep, but not unexpected. My server was very friendly and patient. The facilities are nice; the bathrooms are upstairs and were really pristine when I used them in the morning. Overall, I would recommend stopping by at least for their famous macarons, but if you want to treat yourself, a sit-down meal is nice. read more

Had a great lunch here with my dad on January 5th! We had a reservation and were seated in the salon upstairs by the window. Make sure you order the croque monsieur. We had the vegetable soup, eggs with truffle, and a couple of their dessert cakes. Fantastic across the board. Also a huge shout out to our waiter: I had ordered a half bottle of the Laduree brut rosé, and it wasn't available, so he brought me the whole full bottle and charged me only for the half. read more

We came here for breakfast this morning, and only had an OK meal. In hindsight, we should have just gotten some macarons to go instead of dining in. The best part of our experience at Ladurée was when they brought out a highchair for our daughter that looked like it was from Versailles. We have never seen such a regal-looking highchair in our lives, and we think it went straight to our daughter's head because she was acting like we were her attendants at court. Alors, food. We ordered a plain omelet, the Marie Antoinette cake, and three macarons (passionfruit, pistachio, and strawberry). The omelet was good, as was the cake, but a bit too dense for us. Macarons are the real star of the show here; they had a wonderful bite to them, and the filling flavors were exquisitely pronounced. We couldn't even pick a favorite they were all so good. Service [smacks forehead]. There was only ONE person serving a section of what had to be twenty tables. Even the French folks were getting annoyed and chasing her down to close out their tabs. Our coffees showed up about halfway through the meal and the check took ten minutes to arrive at our table after we asked for it. We get that this is "Eurpoean hospitality", but damn. As already stated: come for the macarons and get the hell out of there. read more

The absolute best macarons in the world! We had a delicious gift box that contained coffee, caramel, pistachio, lemon, chocolate, rose and raspberry. One was more delicious than the next.

After having macaroons in the US and having it here recently for the first time, I can confidently say that they have the reputation for some of the best macaroons around! Even though they did serve more than just macaroons, we just stuck with macaroons because that is what they're known for. We ordered a dozen of the small macaroons in a variety of flavors, from mint to pistachio, vanilla, chocolate, and what not. All of the flavors were delicious, starting with a nice, crisp outside, but soft and flavorful inside for the macaroons. A bit expensive at €25 for 12 macaroons, but they are pricey for a reason. 1) It's France 2) It's much better than what you can get in the US. A must try if you're in the area! Trés bon! read more

A coworker recommended I try the macaroons here during my visit to Paris and it was the best advice he ever gave me!!! Laduree is not a typical bakery...its quite fancy and has a special feel. As you wait on line admiring all the fancy treats it becomes more of an experience. I made the mistake of just buying 4 macaroons. Since I'm usually not a fan of macaroons I didn't want to waste my money or calories and boy was I regretful! The cookie was crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle... the filling so flavorful I swore my raspberry one tasted like preserves! Def stop in and don't make the mistake I did. Although a pricey treat ...it's worth every bite! read more

My boyfriend and I visited Laduree on a weekday, not knowing that their pre-fixe brunch set which comes with an assortment of pastries and sandwiches, was only offered on the WEEKENDS. (BOOOOO! Should've done my research). I was quite disappointed but since we were already there, we decided to still give the pronounced Laduree a try. I ended up ordering a smoked salmon entrée with an egg, avocado and toast, whereas my boyfriend got an entrée with eggs and vegetables. We also ordered thé mélange spécial ladurée tea to share. When the food arrived, it looked quite presentable but that wasn't enough to satisfy me. I was unimpressed because my order said it came with toast and by toast, they actually meant 4 skinny strips of toast. My boyfriend's entrée also pretty scanty. Definitely don't expect to be full when you eat here. The tea was very average. I expected some kind of fragrant, distinct flavor. In contrary, it was very light and I had to add sugar to my to make it taste like something. All in all, I can say my brunch experience was a total NO-GO. Service was slow even though it wasn't busy and I just basically gave up on ordering dessert and paid my bill. My boyfriend and I went downstairs and ordered a box of macarons which, thankfully, saved my day. The macarons were sooooooo delicious. Honestly, skip out on the food and go straight to the macarons. Lesson learned. read more

Came here with my girlfriend during our extended layover for afternoon tea. I must say the setting is quite posh and is in a 5-star location. I much prefer this Laduree to the one at Harrods in London. The selection of teas are really good and pastries served with the tea are also quite nice. The finger sandwiches could have been presented in a way where it wasn't so obvious that they were pre-packaged. This would be really nice for a Mother's Day or Valentines Day lunch. You can also make it a champagne tea. read more

The OG Laduree. I have been to the New York Madison location many times but I had to come to where it all started. They actually serve food and pastries compared to just macarons at the NYC locations. The food was priced quite expensive for basic pastries you can find all over Paris. Obviously a tourist trap so expect to wait in long lines. Pistachio Macaron - 2 euro - I had to compare my favorite with the original locations. I was happy to say, the quality and flavor are spot on. Pistachio flavor all throughout. Cookie had the perfect crisp top layer with the soft body. 20 Macaron Gift Box - 60 euro - You get to taste a variety of their macaron flavors. Some come with doubles and a few with triples. Crazy that each flavor actually tastes like it is supposed to. read more

I also had this raspberry thing that tasted like flowers. Don't forget to check out my profile! read more

The only reason Laduree is not receiving a 5 star review is because of the service. The food, drinks and ESPECIALLY the desserts are out of this world (as you would expect for the price). I am a huge fan of their quick dessert walk through area where you can choose from a multitude of macaroons and other specialty desserts. No matter what you decide to get it is delicious. I am definitely going to stop by during my Christmas visit and get some desserts for Christmas Day. The service can be spotty, although I always seem to receive great service throughout Paris Laduree does not seem to put a high value on their service since they are such a well known brand. Their quick dessert line is full of pushy individuals and the staff can get lost in the swarm of people and when you get to the cashier they do not know where your order has gone and you have to place it again (this has happened to me twice). It is a beautiful spot though and I highly recommend the desserts, just have a bit of patience. read more

Yay I finally got to try Laduree! Posh, perfect and very French you need to stop by and try some of their famous pastries. My husband and I enjoyed all the flavors, but what stood out to us the most was the Rose, Pistachio, Caramel, and Berry flavor. It is a little pricy, but great for sharing. While most macaroons are great, Laduree has a special extra gooey texture that I haven't found in other macaroons. That might be a poor description, it's not entirely gooey and soft, but it has a slight gooey characteristic, you'll see. The flavors are pungent and pronounced. Once you eat a Laduree macaroon you'll know why people love it. Expert tips! Summer time always draws in a big crowd, huge lines, long waits... so we decided to visit in November. Yes, it was cold, but to us it's refreshing and fun bundling up not to mention all the fabulous women in fur, so stylish. Anywho, we were able to walk right into Laduree in mid november on a weekday at noon and be the fifth person in line. I've been to France a bunch but haven't tried Laduree since the line is such a turn off. I mean, let's keep it 100, it's good... but not waiting in line for an hour just to pay $100 for some macaroons good, I digress. In essence I recommend coming by and picking up a box of the world famous Macarons to go and enjoy! They hold up pretty well and can be enjoyed two to three days after purchase without any change in quality if stored correctly. read more

Laduree, you're and expensive mistress. Each time I've visited Paris I've stopped my to see you and you've left my belly feeling happy and my wallet felling...empty. This time though I set up a taste test once and for all between Pierre Herme and Laduree macarons. I visited both shops the same day and ordered a sleeve of macarons at both places (similar flavors too). If I could do a drum roll via a Yelp review I would but since I can't... Laduree won hands down. The flavors were more vibrant and they were cooked just right. The Laduree macarons had a slight crunchy outside and then were soft and chewy on the inside. The Pierre Herme macarons were lacking that crispy shell and felt a bit undercooked. Don't get me wrong the Pierre Herme's were good too but just not as good as Laduree. I encourage all that are in the area to visit their flagship location on Champs-Elysees, it's stunning. read more
