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.

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

[@aaisholi]

Yes I agree! They do look pretty large!!

La tarte Tatin my favorite one ♥️

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

[@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.

[@genzalarboa3110]

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

[@nalie1361]

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

[@marialuisamieles5917]

OMG when I was in Paris with my family there was a bakery in the way to our hotel believe me all their pastery were GREAT !!! Every day we stop bought pastery and took them to our hotel Delicious !!!! Even the bread was great.

[@islandbreeze2102]

Thank you for sharing the wonderful foods of France with us. I visited Paris 10 years ago but didn’t know where to go for the iconic French delicacies. Your food tours are so helpful and I really really appreciate that you also show us the receipts with the prices so we can budget for our next trip to France!! Suggestion for future videos: les spécialités de charcuteries and the French breads.

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

[@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

Pets de nonne, are more doughnut like. Crepe Suzette is usually made with more of a buttery orange sauce. Easy to make at home. Just buy ready made crepes. In a frying pan add half a pint of clementine juice or smooth orange juice and 2 oz of butter. Boil, taste, add sugar to your liking, add grande marnier to your liking. Reduce on the hob to half volume. Add in the crepes to heat through. Serve. For French style flambe, add a little warmed grande marnier and light.

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.
