Pâtisserie Gilles Marchal

A man who helped us pick madeleines was very nice and kind. I liked the lemon tart a lot. I don’t usually eat madeleines so I cannot comment about madeleines but I think it was okay. I just read the reviews and I think if you prefer sweets to be really sweet and full rich butter, then this store may not be your choice. I prefer less sugar and light flavor so they were good for me. Just very expensive.

The eclair was delightful and full of flavours Pretzel soft and tasty Lovely spot Highly recommend

Very good pastry shop offering a wide range of options. Products are fresh and beautifully arranged. Staff is nice and welcoming.

Beautiful patisserie! The pastries here are like works of art! They’re too pretty to eat, but they taste soooo good! This is one of my favorite places in Montmartre for croissants and cakes! They’re worth the money!

Very average, not worth a visit. We tried their chocolate eclair and 2 madeleines (lemon and praline) that are their best sellers. The eclair was way too sweet, you could barely taste the chocolate at all. The madeleines were okay, but not worth a detour.

Excellent pastry. Bought their Eclair, although it’s €5 each (slightly expensive), but the quality is top notch which makes every penny counts. Highly recommended!

Incredible selection, very friendly. Almond croissant done just the way I prefer. Excellent structure, nice amount of marzipan and nice toasty almonds atop...Oh and great cup of espresso, good value all around.

One of the best croissants and pain au chocolate I had in Paris! It was ultra fluffy with so many lamination layers while not being too heavy tasting! The madelines are also quite amazing here!

Love love love this place! I'm so glad we went here because I love madeleines. I got one of each flavor and I have no regrets. They were so light and fluffy and moist. The flavors were also amazing. I liked the one with the chocolate shell the best. I'd come back here everyday if I could.

We've been in Paris for two weeks and these were the best viennoiseries we've had so far. The croissant was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The kouign amman was also nicely crispy. The chausson au pommes and canalé were also perfect!

Wow - their madeleines are divine! My family and I were taken to this bakery by our awesome tour guide (thanks to the Withlocals company), and we're glad we did! We each tried a different flavor of their madeleines and I chose the marbled chocolate and vanilla flavor. It had chocolate chips mixed in, was light, airy, and moist. We even bought a small bag of mini madeleines in their original flavor to take home. It was a bit pricey, but the flavors and super moist texture were still there after getting back home. Wish y'all had a branch in Texas!

The lemon Madeline is to diiiie for. 2 euros per Madeline... I want mooore! Its a regular madeline with a lemon glaze. The madeline itself is dense but soft n fluffy and melts in your mouth. They have chocolate, pistachio, caramel filled (just a lil squirt) and lemon and orange. Yummy yummy!!! I highly recommend this place for madelines.

Simply sublime! We took a taxi to Montmartre and then walked forever to find this gem of a pastry shop and it was worth every kilometer and step. The arlette in my humble opinion was particularly outstanding, classic in color and texture with a wonderful and memorable taste. Mind you we took back to the apartment numerous treats each outdoing the next. Highly recommendable and we shall return before our Parisian respite comes to a close!

Utterly amazing pastries. We came back twice in the same day + once before we left for the airport. The pistachio croissant was LITERAL HEAVEN - seriously, the marzipan filling was unlike anything I've ever tasted. A true gem tucked away in Montmartre

Gilles Marchal is a pastry shop in the middle of Montmartre that you just can't afford to miss - their cakes and cookies are just out of this world. Granted, they're not the cheapest but both my (French) boyfriend and I figured that it's totally worth it because trust me - once you take a bite of their perfect Madeleines, you won't be able to have "just one". We came here twice during our recent Paris stay and the first time we went we opted for the classic Madeleines and the chouquettes - if you don't know what chouquettes are trust me, it's about time you tried one. I also got a coffee and we went to sit down in the little square on the hill on the other side of the road. The original Madeleines are perfect - airy, delicate, sponge-y, just what you would expect and wish for. The smallest quantity of chouquettes you can buy is six - but trust me, it's worth it. Just make sure to finish them pretty quickly, they taste the best eaten the same day they were baked. The second time around we came in right before closing and they were out of original Madeleines, so we tried the chocolate, orange and lemon flavors. Out of these, the orange flavor and the chocolate ones are definitely worth trying; the lemon ones can be good if you're into lemon flavored pastry but otherwise, go for the orange. We also wanted chouquettes and since they had eight left and we wanted six, we got the two remaining ones for free. Make sure to bookmark this pastry shop and remember to buy the Madeleines. So gooood!!

Delicious little cookies, cakes and madeleines.
