"This is the independent pastry shop from chef Gilles Marchal, who's known for his madeleines (in flavors like lemon zest, grand cru dark chocolate, pine honey, and pistachio), his sablé (shortbread) cookies, and his spirited renditions on classic desserts (like baba au rhum). If you visit in January, you must try Marchal's famous galette des rois (King's Cake). The space has a warm and inviting feel, partially because of its compact size." - Lindsey Tramuta
"Gilles Marchal already made his mark on the pastry world as head chef at the Crillon, the Plaza Athénée, Le Bristol, and La Maison du Chocolat, but Parisians from all parts of town make the trek to the heart of Montmartre for his namesake patisserie. His madeleines are divine in flavors like lemon zest, grand cru dark chocolate, pine honey, and pistachio. Not surprisingly, his renditions of French classics like baba au rhum and tarte aux framboises are equally flawless." - Dayna Evans, Lindsey Tramuta
