    Le Valentin is my fave breakfast spot in Paris! Cool Parisian vibe with amazing food! Le Valentino belt and Euro grade mask loved it :D

    "Mon petit Claire, you were not the ball and chain! You are the Zeppelin!" - Paris, je t'aime Do you believe in serendipity like I do? I was walking solo thru the historic Passage Jouffroy, tiled walkway with high glass ceiling, around since 1836, is when i first met Le Valentin. Nestled between French cafés, boutiques, and a bookstore or two, is where you'll find lovely her! She looks so tempting! Oooh la la! On a whim I decide on breakfast. And oui oui let me tell you how serendipity was alive and well for this Monsieur. I am warmly greeted in French is when I decided to sit and eat a warm breakfast like a true Parisian would do. Café seats on the walkway, this time I decide to dine inside to soak up the interior vibe. Such a warm and delicious ambiance with baked pastries, breads, & confections everywhere! I am handed the menu, all in French mind you, after all, we are in Paris, right?! ;) After perusing the menu and suggestions from the lovely all-in-one, hostess, waitress, barista... I decide on a breakfast set. My choice of scrambled eggs & bacon, fresh garden salad paired perfectly with light dressing, Pain au chocolat and le nutty toast with the freshest Fig jam brought a perfect balance to life. Freshly squeezed Orange juice to compliment & oh la la Cappuccino! The most adorable Parisian barista made me forget about yesterday. She was not only just the hostess, waitress, barista, but also a darn good singer :D As I enjoyed breakfast, I looked at all the patrons around me, tourists, Parisians, a toddler pointing at all the boujee confections, and the lovely lady sipping Latté in one lonely corner. Everyone seemed so happy. A moment in time that will live in me forever je t'aime

    Dessert - chocolate hazelnut

    In Paris, Passage Jouffroy is one of several historic passageways that provide shortcuts through large blocks of buildings. Many of them now host restaurants, eateries, shops, and even a hotel. Inside Passage Jouffroy, is one of the BEST bakery, dessert, tea, coffee, sweets shop in the area. In Paris, there are quite a few bakeries that offer gorgeous desserts. The hours of such shops typically close at the 6pm. If you want some, you'll need to time it as tea time, lunch, or go for broke and eat them any time! During our trip, we kept wanting them after dinner but none is available by then. On the last day of our trip, we splurged on some morning calories and ate dessert for breakfast!! Of the three we chose: Chocolate hazelnut - This is a chocolate shelled cake with a filling. Our server didn't speak English, but she gestured that it's her favorite! Lemon Raspberry - Look-wise, this one is the prettiest. The French pastries have this elegance of a dainty cake bottom, some filling, and a gorgeous outer shell. Awesome! Rum cake - I was curious on what the little ball was and ordered it. Turns out it's additional rum sugar sauce that you squeeze and soak up with the cake. It's delicious, but a solid 3rd place compared to the other two. Definitely prioritize some calories and time to consume desserts while in Paris. This is a top notch location for such treats. It's very near metro 8 and 9.

    Came here with a colleague while waiting for dinner. Only got an espresso but it was like rocket fuel in the best way. I was jettlagged and left here thinking I'd drank 67 cups of coffee. Got a second espresso but didn't finish it, imagine not finishing an espresso. Anyway we sat in the outside hall and felt very French even though we are clearly tourists. Solid espresso.

    Heavenly croissants that are light and flaky. The first bite was oh so wonderful. I unfortunately did not dine in, but the inside is very cute and varying options of pasties and quiches. The location is in a passageway with some cute shops. Highly recommend this place!

    A quick pop into this tasty little shop. It was quite nice to learn they did speak English and seemed quite okay to do so, which is not always the case. Everything looked wonderful and made it hard to decide what to purchase. A nice selection of loose leaf teas to go with the baked treats. Do make a stop in!

    The best!

    Perfection! We ordered Quiche Lorraine and also some amazing desserts and wine. I have never ever had such an exquisite quiche. The BEST. The inside is so wonderfully decorated. Its warm and quaint and beautiful. Very French! One of my very favorite places that we visited in Paris.....and we visited MANY. I hope to return one day!

    We love this place so much, we started our days with breakfast here during our trip. Our only regret was we wished we could've tried everything. My suggestion is to come right when they open so you get the croissants hot and fresh from the oven.

    The hot chocolate was amazing. It was thick and had the right amount of sweetness. There was a depth of flavor in the hot chocolate from sweet sent in the vanilla bean and the earthy taste from the cinnamon. We spent several hours enjoying hot beverages and yummy pastry. I wished I had more time in Paris to try everything on their menu. Sad to say we were only able to get there twice during our stay. This is a good local place to go on a rainy day.

    Came here for a mid morning snack. We ordered coffee, 2 croissants, the muscovado, and two quiches. The coffee was not anything to praise but the rest was wonderful. The quiches were filling and warm, the dessert was full of nutty flavor, and the croissants were delicious. Overall great eat and experience!

    Desserts were 5 stars. Chocolate croissant was good but probably 3.5-4 star range for me. Pastries are affordable while desserts are a bit pricey. But you are paying for top quality dessert and space. It is well worth it. Service was excellent, too. Friendly, helpful, welcomes you with smile, which you don't get that much in central Paris area. I asked for recommendation since mille-feuille (napoleon) was weekend only. I think I got the first one on the menu. It was excellent. It had mousse texture but also creamy with hint of nutty flavor and berry sauce inside. I wish I could eat more... This place is tucked away from the busy street, so it's quiet. You can really enjoy the atmosphere and moment with yourself or your company. Highly recommended.

    Delicious place with delicious and fresh pastries!!! Highly recommend. Super friendly waiters and they spoke English so we were able to order just what we wanted the pastries were soooo good! The location is a bit hidden but adorable!

    While walking through the passages to go to another restaurant, we (thank god) looked through the Le Valentin window and saw a woman eating the most beautiful duck entree. We were convinced to go inside to try. Service is curt and the servers don't greet you when you enter, but I've come to expect that of French service now. Food: We ordered 3 different daily specials and a quiche. +steak daily special: Steak was perfectly cooked and came with roasted potatoes and a salad. Potatoes were lightly salted and sweetened. +duck daily special: Duck was juicy and nicely seared. Didn't have extra flavoring so the taste of the duck was nice and subtle. Also came with delicious flavored rice. +cod daily special: Came with a beautiful cream sauce and a bunch of peas. Wasn't heavy and the cod was tender. +ham quiche: Little too salty but maybe it's supposed to be like that. Overall the slice was big enough and came with salad too. Entrees were reasonably priced from €11-15. Dessert: +champagne raspberry christmas log: Champagne whip is refreshing and airy and the raspberry jam inside is tart and strong. The cake was also light, very happy the server recommended this. +cappuccino: Can not be messed up. This is where they make money off of you. The tiny log was €6.90 and the cappuccino was €4.99. Overall we felt full but not to the point where we felt drowsy. Best meal I've had in France.

    This place was is hidden in a shopping strip. Pastries were good and actually had hot breakfast with eggs. Hot chocolate was ok.
