I also took home one of their teas, which I really enjoyed, and a box of the Eugénies, which quickly became my favorite. I would absolutely get this again in a heartbeat. The ambience is very elegant and fancy, making the experience feel extra special. The staff were super friendly, especially since we weren't sure which flavors to try. After seeing how many items we ordered, they even gave us three free macarons which was such a sweet gesture! They also have super cute merchandise, such as keychains, and a cooler bag. Ladurée is definitely a must-visit for anyone who loves macarons and a charming, upscale atmosphere.

There was a line at the door, but it moved fairly quickly. Once inside, you're in a beautiful Beaux-Arts salon. Service generally is very good. The Chocolat Chaud is superb. There are other savories and sweets on the menu here. This time we tried a Mont-Blanc (3/5). I know this is Angelina's signature pastry, but to me it couldn't compete with the Chocolat Chaud.

Angelina, Paris, France -- April 12…read more Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 10 stopped here for lunch after visiting the Louvre, drawn in by its reputation for having the best hot chocolate in the world. We were looking for a place to relax and refuel, and the experience felt a bit mixed overall. Arrival and First Impressions The space is elegant with classic Parisian charm. The line moved quickly, and we were seated with a great view of the dining room. It felt refined but still comfortable. The Highlights The famous hot chocolate lived up to expectations, thick, rich, and almost more like a dessert than a drink. We also had French onion soup and an éclair, both of which were very good. The pastries were clearly well made and thoughtfully prepared. The kids had chicken tenders, which they enjoyed, even though the tomato sauce was a bit different from what they expected. The Challenges The biggest drawback was the price. The meal felt expensive for what we ordered, coming in at €154 for a fairly simple lunch. Service felt slightly rushed as they moved tables along quickly. Final Thoughts We would likely return if we were nearby and specifically craving the hot chocolate again. It is a classic Paris stop and worth trying once, but the value may not justify going out of your way unless that signature experience is high on your list.

They are constantly pulling small parties (1-4) out of line to seat them quicker depending on the space available. We were lucky to get the sweetest waiter he was the kindest one we've had in the city during our entire trip! Unfortunately I did not get his name. Although while washing my hands inside one of the waitresses did come beside me and basically shoved me out of my way to place a serving tray on the sink in front of me??? Food is nothing to write home about but just aesthetically pleasing. I traveled with my 3 nieces who said the hot chocolate was too sweet and they're kids! To each their own, I still think everyone should give it a shot:) Beware if bees are one of your fears or if you're allergic and you sit outside they will be swarming all of the sweet food on the table, but don't be so afraid because they do not sting they only want your food.

The dining room was cute but after seeing the palace it was a little underwhelming. The area was pretty small and the decor was average. The menu was limited so we opted for the sandwich and a juice.

The side potatoes it came with were really good but the high price made this meal really underwhelming.
