I have had the wonderful fortune of being able to visit Paris twice in the last few years and for a…read morecity that didn't even make it to my top 20 places to visit in my lifetime, it is an incredible metropolis that you should really consider passing through, at least for a week. The culture and history are amazing (which are givens) but what will totally knock you off your feet is the food. People will tell you that but it will still shock you when you put a pastry or a bite of a galette (of the sort from the Brittany region) in your mouth. Okay, all of that is to say that while there are great things to experience in Paris, you will find that service is not exactly what one would call friendly or hospitable. I get it, I'm an American and Yanks are entitled and pompous. I totally understand that and I know that no matter how much I jump up and down, shouting to you that I'm not that way (especially since I'm the child of immigrant parents of an extremely humble background), you will remain skeptical. That's okay. I have come to understand that Parisians are not what we here in the States would consider exactly "warm." But I accept the cultural difference and am more than happy when I can have a cordial exchange with business owners/managers and their employees. I don't speak French, but I learned the obligatory "Parlez-vous anglais?" in deference to the country's official language. I heard the cashier speak English to the customer in front of me but when it was my turn, both she and the manager on shift looked at me blankly so I politely (and timidly) asked my question. The man acted indifferently and said flatly, "A little." So I ordered my cappuccino, feeling embarrassed. I paid and left. I understand that Parisians are tired of Americans and their expectation that everyone speaks English (I have witnessed this and know it to be generally true) but when your customer tries to communicate with you and your place of business is in an international airport (8th busiest in the world in passenger traffic, at that), you would think you could be a bit more understanding. I won't change the world or this place with my review, but there you have my two cents. Oh, and the cappuccino was quite good.

It was in the airport, it had basic food, and well, it simply was convenient. What more could you want? Well, for the coffee to not be puke-inducing... Forget that my companion had an Orangina and some type of sandwich. Forget, too, that I had a hefty croissant that happened to be cold but nonetheless fluffy. It was a freezing day and I wanted coffee. The coffee truly wasn't anything to write home about, but it was keeping me warm. I was thinking meh, it could be better, it could be worse, but as we began our trek out of this hell of an airport, I wound up having to find a poubelle (that's French for trash can by the way) because whoop, there it went. My coffee, that is. Non merci. Never again!

They also overcharge quite a lot and it cost us €26 for 8! Had better ones at Pierre Hermé. Vanilla - Simple and delicious! Would have loved to save this one for the end to end on the best note. Rose - really really good! Flavor was nice and perfect amount of sweetness. Probably my favorite among them all. Pistachio - I usually always love a pistachio macaron but this one was just normal. No wow factor or anything. Raspberry - I had High hopes for this one but the filling was like a raspberry jam and didn't go too well with the macaron shell. A bit too overpowering. Orange Blossom - subtle but delicious. Not too strong of an orange flavor, but it was really nice overall. Lemon - horrible! It was actually bitter like lemon zest. I needed water to wash down my mouth after this. Passion fruit - too tangy. It was possible but I would not buy this.

Paid cash rather than card to use up my last Euros. There is a decent sized seating area and the airport's free wifi works reasonably well. [Review 12852 overall, 167 of 2020.]

Ladurée is a sweet respite in your busy travel plans. Whenever I am in the Paris airport, it is an obligatory stop. This macaroon shop is located conveniently inside the airport with the quintessential elegant Parisian packaging. Even in Charles de Gaulle extremely busy terminal, it is a nice travel break. To be transparent, macaroons are not my first dessert choice. Laduréevis in a macaroon league of its own...soft blue green base colors, delicate gold font accents, rows of perfectly arranged macarons. Each one had that signature texture ...a delicate shell with a soft, creamy center. The history... Ladurée was founded in 1862 by Louis-Ernest Ladurée and evolved into one of the first Parisian tea salons. The now-famous Ladurée macaron didn't appear until decades later, when Pierre Desfontaines, a descendant of the founder, created the modern version... two delicate shells filled with ganache. From that point forward, Ladurée became synonymous with elegance, indulgence, and being distinctly Parisian. Today, it sells thousands of macarons daily and has locations worldwide. The ladies at the macaroon shop have a system of service. One person takes your order, another selects your macaroons and the third person packages the macaroons. It is important to note that, while Ladurée is the most delicious macaroon I have ever tasted, they are expensive. So, it will be a splurge.

I asked the staff if they could add a bit more soup or sauce, and they kindly did, which improved the dish. The menu mentions cashews, and the idea of combining everything together sounds great in theory. However, there were only about 3-5 cashews in the dish, which didn't really balance the pasta as expected. I would recommend using fewer pasta portions and adding more cashews and sauce to improve the flavor and texture. Overall, the service was good and the staff were accommodating. The menu itself has good ideas, but I think the restaurant could focus more on quality and balance rather than quantity. Considering the price point, I personally wouldn't recommend it right now, though I believe they have the potential to do better.
