We Tried 12 of the Most Iconic French Desserts in Paris

[@gauloisrefractaireenexilvo4366]

Oh my, these profiterolles look really large, rather unusual size for Paris. I guess you guys were quite full and omitted la tarte tatin, another iconic dessert served in Paris bistrots. I admire your total dedication to this episode, this is tough work but one's got to do it. 👍

[@gauloisrefractaireenexilvo4366]

@@LesFrenchiesTravel As far as I remember, la tarte tatin is served warm with cream on the side, never found this special treat in a bakery. I am hungry for more of your yummy adventures.

[@loretosilva7687]

La Tarte Tatin ..... c'est superbe😋!!!!

[@aaisholi]

Yes I agree! They do look pretty large!!

[@daveg9000]

Totally agree. The profiteroles look very touristy...

[@silvabalkanka8494]

La tarte Tatin my favorite one ♥️

[@nalie1361]

I love your enthusiasm. I can't believe you ate all those cakes in one day

[@michaelcollins8316]

I remember before my first trip to Paris, a French woman I worked with told me that it was illegal to serve a bad meal (food item) in Paris and for all the places that I have eaten at both in Paris and around France I believe this is true. Your video brought back great memories.😊

[@jean-paulpotet1988]

The only thing that is basically illegal for French restaurants is to sell yesterday's dishes. Everything has to be freshly cooked. That's why every night they give the left-overs for free to vagrants at the back door. At least it's a tradition, so I don't know itf it is still true.

[@richardcadena7746]

HI you guys...i found your utube channel while viewing french foods about a year ago and hands down, your channel is the most down to earth and genuine "foody" type channel showcasing french foods/towns. the fact that both of you are in your "mid 30's" lends itself to the laid back feel for your trips and adventures....no flashy gimmicks, photoshops, silly glamor shots, etc. because i have a tendency to rant for hours.....in other words, its nice to see a normal American couple that has made france their home and share it with the rest of us. one last comment....whose ever home you all film in is beautiful! thanks

[@genzalarboa3110]

poire belle-hélène, opéra (my favorite), saint-honoré, savarin, baba au rhum, cannelé, kouign amman, fraisier, moka and so many others

[@ChachouLP]

So proud of ours desserts 🇨🇵❤

[@proudamerican4050]

My Grandmother was born in Avignon in 1926 and she shared the dish Ile Flottante (floating Island) with the family on special occasions. Delicious!

[@samanthagaudet1461]

Tarte Tatin is my all time favorite thing I had in France.

[@myras8378]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. Oh my God it reminds me so much of the times that I lived in France with my grandmother, not far from Reims. I was familiar with all the desserts except for one. No one understands how good the food is in France. Just can’t compare. Just made me feel very nostalgic

[@myras8378]

Merci

[@monowarabegum2954]

All the servings are huge!! Definitely needs to be shared between two people. This is perfect. Going to Paris in a weeks time...Yaay!! 😋💃❤

[@lananass9324]

"shared" is what you say before taste it. After you wonder what else you could try :)). But in my french opinion the best is the "millefeuille" ;)

[@joanreynolds955]

@@lananass9324I always heard the French limited themselves to a couple of bites. The portions here a large.

Just love the cafe gourmand! French restaurants often had this following dinner. It comes with three patisserie that are smaller, but big enough.

yes but it does not have to be 3 pieces, whatever will be serve with the coffee will be a mignardises a cup of chouchous does the job when it's offered by the restaurant.

In Paris there is a bakery that makes a dessert called “Un Merveilleux.” It’s a “cake” made of a combination of meringue, whipped cream and chocolate shavings and it’s absolutely amazing. It’s traditional to Northern France. Never had anything similar before and I have been living, studying and traveling there since 1957. I’m bilingual and a French teacher.

[@harrycauvert9934]

Si je peux me permettre, la crêpe Suzette qui vous a été servie au restaurant est un résumé, du résumé en résumé de la vraie recette, avant de les flamber il convient de les faire revenir au beurre dans une poêle avec un peu de sucre, ajouter ensuite du jus d'orange pour déglacer la poêle, laisser réduire quelques instants et seulement à ce moment là passer au flambage, personnellement je fais un mélange cognac/ liqueur d'orange, ça flambe mieux .... si elles sont réussies il vous restera un peu de jus au fond de la poêle avec lequel vous pourrez napper vos crêpes Suzette, à mon sens le restaurant qui propose les meilleures à Paris est le "Train Bleu " directement à l'intérieur de la Gare de Lyon.

Any true sweets' connoisseur should also check out the pastries and desserts of Prague. Have someone guide you along places though, as quality may vary. Definitely worth it! Most French-style pastries, although a bit different of course, since becoming domesticated here, alongside many other, a.k.a. (originally) Hungarian, Bavarian, Polish, Jewish, Viennese and other styles. Prague is a sweets' cross-roads!
