The Best Restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul | Eater Twin Cities

"Critically acclaimed pastry chef Marc Heu draws inspiration from his French Guianan upbringing while infusing his training in a 300-year-old Paris patisserie to inform the menu at his St. Paul pastry shop. A line out the door of the Dale Street space is not uncommon, as the patisserie has garnered a reputation for its intricately assembled cakes, tarts, croissants, and savory items. Some of the James Beard semifinalist’s finest creations include a show-stopping vanilla Saint Honoré, composed of hundreds of layers of flaky, along with vanilla pastry cream, vanilla whipped cream, and caramel. Or opt for a Parisian classic offering, such as a toasted Croque Madame made with milk bread stuffed with French gruyere cheese, Parisienne French ham, aged Comté cheese sauce, and topped with an egg." - Eater Staff
