Signature madeleines, entremets, & luxurious cake shakes
"The modern patisserie associated with a grand Paris hotel, famed for exquisite pastries such as madeleines—an elegant stop for couples indulging in classic French confections." - Michelle Gross Michelle Gross Michelle Gross is an award-winning travel, food, and lifestyle journalist.

"If the culinary vision of Auguste Escoffier established the Ritz Paris as a dining institution more than 120 years ago, it’s the creative talent of François Perret, the hotel’s pastry chef since 2015, that has anchored its role as food destination today. That was clear from the chef's grand Tea Time menu and plated desserts at the hotel and now it's clear from Le Comptoir, the hotel's pastry shop helmed by Perret. The peach-colored shop features a long molded counter and brushed brass alcoves filled with giftable items, from candles to Champagne, a leather banquette for on-site snacking, as well as a striking series of curved Bohemian crystal light fixtures that nod to the chef’s signature treat: the madeleine. We advise you leave with a collection of Perret's signature Madeleines (keep in mind, he rolls out limited edition varieties at major holidays), the cake marbré, and one of the cake shakes (although perhaps it's best not to consume all of these at once)." - Catherine Down, Lindsey Tramuta
"It may require a significant splurge to take in the whole tea-time experience at the Ritz Paris’s Salon Proust, but you can access head pastry chef François Perret’s treats at a more reasonable price tag at the hotel’s very own pastry shop. His signature glazed madeleines are available in seven flavors, including fruit fillings. There are also creamy entremets (little cakes with layers of mousse), oversized cookies, tartes, and drinkable versions of Perret’s best-selling pastries (essentially luxurious milkshakes) from the Salon Proust tea time menu. Located in the 1st arrondissement." - Dayna Evans
