Pierre Hermé, Ladurée, Le Lautrec Chocolatier- Who has the best macarons?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Bonjour! Today we're trying every macaron in Paris- from the famous Laduree to the acclaimed Pierre Herme. Is the best macaron in Paris at one of the famous spots or, is it off the beaten path at a local pastry shop like Le Lautrec Chocolatier. Today, there's no such thing as too much sugar! (PS- did you know macarons are originally from Italy??)

People tend to overate things when they hear that something is the “best”. Alessio has a higher palate because he’s European so tourist traps wouldn’t impress. Jessi has followed him. Also, some flavors don’t translate well. Romanians (my heritage) make rose hip jam. I grew up eating it so I’m used to it. Not everyone is. Lots of it is also personal preference. I would hate anything with rosemary in it because I hate rosemary but love passion fruit. C’est la vie! 💜💗
You are so right, the tourist traps work for people who come from far away. I would bet that if the tourists didn't buy so much there, these bad shops wouldn't exist anymore.
@@Grumpy67 could be but the Pierre Herme macarons I have been eating and loving way before it was a tourist thing.. I like exotic flavours and I like a desert that is not very sweet.. some people like sweet more.. and I like their creamy fillings.. I do not like the jam filled ones.. and most of pierre herme are creamy. I live a block from both Pierre Herme and Laduree and a few others..
I also liked rose hip jam because of my Romanian heritage but I can understand why people who aren't used to this kind of flavor wouldn't like it. I miss eating this jam.
As a French woman I would advise you : avoid the classic big companies for pastries and macarons. Trust local, random bakers. But keep in mind that if there is the word "boulangerie" in the window, they really make and bake their bread.
the first two places have 4.5 stars in google🥶
@@ThePasinis of course they have it is good for some. Pierre Hermé is a kind of pastry pope, but it is a question of taste. I wish you will come back to Paris and try new things and restaurant. Wish you the best.
REAL tasty bread🍞🥐🥖 😍
ooooh WE LOVE PARIS the video before this we eat so many good dishes! and for us the last place of macarons was AMAZING! we hade a very good time to Paris
ciao da Alessio
@@ThePasinis I agree with Chantal. I love how open-minded and interested you are in trying new things and eating good food. But still, you walked into a lot of tourist traps. Keep in mind that the average Parisien will not rate a bakery on Google, he just goes to the bakery and buys his bread and that's it. So relying on Google ratings is not always the best way. Ask locals. You have a huge public and asking your public to give some tips before traveling to a certain city might give you good opportunities. Alessio recognizes good food being grown up among good food, but he is a tourist in Paris and almost every other European city too, so he has to rely on what others tell him. Try local and avoid the big chains! And if you need tips for (or a guide in) the Netherlands, just let me know! ;-)
While I do love the content and information of your videos, my favorite part is watching two lovely people sharing experiences, laughing and enjoying each other's company. It gives me hope that love exists. ❤
Yes! I laughed so hard through the whole video!
Agree it's that, I ate it so now it's your turn to suffer 😀 and dead pan face Jessie had till Alessio tried it then YUK the worst yet 😀
The rose macaron you had is named after Isfahan, the third-largest city in Iran. Rose has been a prominent thing in Iran since ancient times, being used from celebrations to mourning, because it makes people relaxed. Rose water (which 90% of the world's production is made in Iran) is used for perfume and to not only treat everything from heartaches to headaches, but also used in Iranian cuisine like Faloodeh (serbet-like dessert with vermicelli), masghati (jelly-like confection made with starch), shirin polo (pilaf with saffron, nuts, and dried fruits; typically for weddings), baghlava (Persian baklava), as well as tea! Rose water is even used (as a mix with Zamzam water; water from a religious well) to wash the holy Kaaba in Mecca!
Americans have a very rigid pallet. They should stick to eating funnel cake and fried oreos.
If You didn’t like the Mogador (passion fruit chocolate) from Pierre Hermé, I can’t trust your taste sorry guys because this one is really good, for me I think you don’t like macarons that’s all 😅
As a French, i disagree if you dont like the mogador and the ispahan then your tastebud are differrent.
these 2 are the best sellers.😅😅 which means they are locals favorites😊
You two are so fun! Thanks for the video!
oh gosh you just do not appreciate the beauty of macarons
first you eat them too fast and they have to be savoured slowly to appreciate their taste
Agree! And the aroma after the well made ones!
What aren't you drinking a little water to remove the taste of the previous. I think that with having a previous flavor on your palate it will change the flavor of the next. What do you think🤷♀️
I love Pierre Herme Everything they do…I am wondering if it was a the flavours you did not like.. they have some exotic ones.. their macaron tend to be less sweet than others… A blind test I have done with a friend is I have put Pierre herme mixed with another brand and the pierre Herme macaron stood out.. and no one knew which ones they were but me. A breakfast item I would recommend are the rose and almond croissants at Pierre Herme but I don’t think you like the rose flavours?
Jessi liked his vanilla/pecan flavor. It was really good!
😆🤣😂! The last 1! His reaction was the best! Safe travels 🙏💕
Thank you for this amazing video like always can’t wait to see Italy
Hope you enjoyed it!
I like weird floral flavours, but the idea of eating 20 macarons gives me a gut ache! Ahahah. Thanks for taking one for the team in the name of science. ;)
I love that the small business was the best. It goes to show how important shops like this are for preserving great classic recipes and techniques.
The small shop surprised us!! We would go back for more 100%. Hopefully other small shops get the recognition they deserve
Pierre Hermes created the isapahan for La duree. The isapahan flavor combos are the best! I’ve even had the caviar macaron. Us foodies think food is art. Those have taste know better. Cheers!
I'm surprised you guys tried so many macaron flavors that you didn't like! Why not choose more basic flavors instead? Personally, I love tea and floral-based desserts, so I choose more of those flavors at French bakeries. The Ispahan is one of the most popular flavor and dessert at both Pierre Hermé and Ladurée. Also, passion fruit is a very popular flavor for macaron and desserts too! Yes, I wholeheartedly agree that Ladurée's Marie Antoinette Tea macaron was really awful! Pierre Hermé's macarons are very sweet too. Not my favorite. But I do like Ladurée. The macarons I've had were at their US branch stores. There are many good macarons, viennoiseries, and pâtisseries at Ladurée too. My favorite is their Rose Raspberry Saint-Honoré. Delicious!
How much did you spend on all the macarons? They are so expensive here in the U.S. There is a local place here in Wisconsin that charges $2.65 EACH.
😂 I love watching you both. I love your honest reactions. You make me laugh. Your videos help my panic anxiety stay at bay. Thank you for that. ❤ you both and thank you again, for sharing your lives with us. May God rain many blessings on you.
Le lautrec is great! got some macarons at the one in Strasbourg a few months ago and man those are good macarons! if you're ever in Switzerland, Confiserie Sprüngli makes amazing macarons as well, but they are called Luxemburgerli :)
I was never a fan of macarons and was always told I just hadn't had a "good" one, but I really think it's just that I don't really enjoy the concept of it. I'd be happier with a flaky pastry, a donut, a cookie, or a cake-- just about any other kind of dessert. Thanks for the entertainment-- I really think I would have the same reaction as both of you!
"Pierre, please, close the store." 😂
If the macaron texture is dry and hard it means it's stale. I am a baker myself and a fresh macaron should be crispy from the outside and chewy and soft from the inside.
Man you guys are troopers. I could only eat 2 or 3 of those and with black coffee or tea before my mouth starts to spasm from all the sugar 😂
You had me laugh crying at the end! So f*ing funny!
If you ever happen to be in that area, the best macaroons i've ever had was "Lady Yum" in Seattle, Washington! So good!
I began to feel unwell watching you two,with this one…😂😂😂
Love your videos!
Thank you!❤️
😂😂😂 the last one! My stomach aches for you both!
I don't like macarons but seeing your reactions is priceless. You're both hilarious. I'm laughing here.... thanks
The best macarons are from Cabiron based in Montpellier, Southwest of France !
we need to go! 🇫🇷
This was great! I love the way you are objective in your opinions and laugh even though the macarons were not good. And well done for trying the flavours that weren't to your taste but you tried them anyway! ❤
Glad you enjoyed! un saluto da Alessio e Jessi❤️
I just love to watch you two. You would make eating tree bark and mud 🥧pies fun!
Oh, I could tell by Alessio's facial expressions EXACTLY how he felt about each one. I honestly would trust his culinary opinions on alot of things. Jessi and I, we are Americans who married Italian / Sicilian men, and our tastes are a bit different. The two of us totally learned, and learned FAST, what REAL Italian food tastes like, and that these American chain "Italian Food" places are a bit of a mockery - like McDonald's vs. Applebee's, Taco Bell vs. a 5 star Michelin place. My mother in law and father in law could out-cook any top ranked chef on this planet when it comes to Italian food. I am sure Alessio's mom ranks right up there with my in laws. Those ladies know how to cook. Alessio, Jessi, thank you for your opinions, if I ever go to France, I will know what to avoid.
I like gummy macarons 😅 it all depends on a person preference..and i think they are an acquired taste like everything in french cuisine.. but we lovee the french and very nice video guys!
classic macarons are actually gummy/chewy in texture. that's what any macaron baker strives for though! I can understand that maybe the flavours were not quite the best for them and their palate, but to say the classic macaron texture is bad because it is gummy makes no sense 🤣 that's how it should be in the first place
I like laureé macarons (marie Antoinette/roses are the best flavors for me). And I think macarons suppose to be kinda chewy.
The filling is the one thing… its acquire taste.
You two crack me up. I love watching the two of you. I think you should have gotten a grand prize winner running and took it back to the winner. I’m sure they’d love to know they beat out all the others. Have fun
Would honestly go back to Paris just for the Le Lautrec macarons!! They deserve the recognition!
@@ThePasinis the reviews are 4.5 out of 5 and everyone loves the macarons. Googles Multimap.
I think you should stay with basic American flavors like chocolate and vanilla. Ispahan and passion fruit are my favorite from PH. I think you not growing up with fruit like lychee and passion fruit may lead to you feeling shocked about these flavors (ispahan is rose lychee and raspberry).
Can’t believe you guys bought the branded ones without buying from small boulangerie to compare… appreciate the content as always
We loved the macarons from Une Dimanche A Paris the best! Lauderee second for us!
You should try "le jardin sucré" probably one of the best macarons you can find and the pastry a pretty delicious too
Jessie did Alessio so dirty at the end. "Eat it. Eat it Amore. AMORE JUST EAT IT." 😂
it looked more like trying out the prank candies pack rather than paris’ macarons boutiques 😂
Don't know why that passionfruit/chocolate macaron is called Mogador, as Mogador is an island off the coast of Morocco and both chocolate and passionfruit...are from the Americas. Did Pierre not take a geography lesson? 😂The thing about Madagascar vanilla is that Madagascar is so well-known for its vanilla...and yet, vanilla too is originally from the Americas! Madagascar being the leading producer of vanilla is the result of the legacy of (fittingly) French colonialism.
On nearby Réunion in 1841, 12-year-old Edmond Albius (who was enslaved), discovered how to pollinate vanilla orchids by hand, and this method helped the island grow what we call Bourbon vanilla. But because Madagascar is way bigger and more labor, the French took advantage of it and built many vanilla plantations across the island that used Edmond's method.
You two are my absolute favorite people on the planet!! Thank you for blessing the world with your amazing energy! ♥️
Grazie mille Anna❤️
You two make me so happy....LOL
ti mandiamo un cuore❤️
The last macaron Jessi showed is Ispahan ie rose, litchi and raspberry. That's a combo Hermé also uses in jam, ice cream, guimauves (marshmallows).
I find the best places I find are the mom and pop owned places! not the big owned companies! They tend to put more LOVE into their food! I am glad you found a hidden gem!
I totally agree!❤️
Well i was hoping the local bakery would win out against the big boys 🙂 happy they were another level better.
I always thought macaron were supposed to be a little chewy but crispy on the outside. A totally dry, crispy one is probably old because they can’t make all the flavours everyday. I had my first macaron in NYC from Lily O’Brien’s. It was fantastic.
Do they have truffle macarons?
I've never tasted truffles and thought that truffle macarons would be great to try if, had any.
"Pierre, close the store." 🙏🏻😂😂😂
You guys are tooooo funny!
Grazie mille
Can I just say that when I was in Europe, we tried Macarons in France, and I did not like them. Perhaps it was a place we went but surprisingly the best Macarons we had were in Amsterdam!
HAHAHAHAHA-🤣🤣🤣
Alesio: “ Pierre, close the store”!!
Hahahahaha!!! 😆🤣😆🤣😆
Next time you two should keep your opinions to yourselves until after you both try it, or let Alessio rate the food first. It seems he is always following your lead.
Much love from Denmark to both of you,
You just make me smile every time, and I absolutely love your approach to Life, Food and adventures.
Really hope all the best for you, and hope you will continue your videos for a long time 🥰🙏🥰
This is such a nice comment! Thank you! ♥️ All our best to you!!
Moral of the story, avoid tourist traps and more expensive doesn't mean good
U both rock love u❤
OMGOSH this vlog was hilarious, you two totally had me laughing so hard. Great vlog💛🧡❤️💜💙💚🤎
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Funny how the most popular used quaint packaging but probably mass produced now and artificial flavors yet you stumble upon a lesser known better place probably still handmade with real ingredients. Shows big chains cut corners. That was fun watching you both
Got diabetes watching your video. Son muy divertidos ❤
Loving all the desserts! We need the best Chocolates and the Best Gelato adventures!🍫🍦 You guys are my favorite UA-cam couple by far 💕
Grazie mille ti mandiamo un abbraccio ❤️
Sooooo where should one go in Italy for great macarons? 😁
I stumbled into a "Le Lautrec" shop in Strasbourg and bought a bunch of different flavours and had the best macarons of my life.
After the first 2 boxes I started thinking maybe you just don't like macarons. So glad the third box restored your faith.
I don't actually think I've ever had a macaron, we have a kid with nut allergies. But I've always been curious.
It was interesting how different each of the three brands were. They were each completely different than the others!
Such a fun video to watch. My husband and I enjoy macaroons. We find them at trader Joe's. They're delicious. My daughter gets them at a pastry bakery. They melt in your mouth. Delicious. Yum 🤤😋 thanks so much for sharing.
I agree that Pierre Herme is overrated but I also think they were too harsh, like for example about Ispahan with raspberries, lichi and rose... I had it and really loved it.
I love desserts with fruits, but I see they don't really, so why would they be rating a fruit dessert when they probably won't like it (like she said about passionfruit)?
Doesn't make sense.
I guess it depends on person's taste.
I would say Pierre Herme is crazy expensive like most big names in Paris, but the truth is you are likely to find equally delicious desserts in almost all pastry shops around town, and much cheaper
I love the ispahan one from Pierre. It just seems like they are only used to very simple flavors like vanilla or coffee etc and not the more sophisticated flavors
I love their special flavour because it’s special and adventurous, not basic. Try Pierre Hermès if you have an adventurous taste bud.
Hi, I admire your sense of adventure, but if you are going to do a taste test, buy at least 3 of the same flavors and 3 specialty flavors from each shop. Regarding floral flavors, it is more for certain Europeans and Middle Eastern palates, but certainly not Americans. If you have a chance to go to a shop specializing in jams, you would be surprised at the wide selections they have, comparing to what we have back home. Love your videos.
I love the fruit and floral combinations in a macron, especially raspberry and rose! But I know it’s more common for Americans to dislike the floral flavors 🙂 I think my favorite flavor I’ve tried in a macron was Earl Grey tea.
Great vids. New sub with bell on 👍
Thank you so much!
This video cracked me up... It's getting worse 🤣 - I think you should try this again with other local shops
the first two places have 4.5 stars in google🥶
any recommendations?
go to Le Lautrec the last box we tray it! waaaas AMAZING
Bonjour,
Vous êtes un couple adorable.😍
En revanche, vous ne connaissez pas vraiment les macarons, surtout avec les goûts exotiques, tel que la rose ou fruit de la passion. Ce n'est pas les macarons qui ne sont pas bons, c'est juste que vous n'arrivez pas à apprécier ces goûts exotiques. Vous n'avez pas le palais préparé pour cela.
Ça fait plus de 40 ans que je vis à Paris, donc je ne suis pas une touriste et j'adore les macarons de Pierre Hermé. Ainsi que mes enfants. On mange les macarons que de chez Pierre Hermé !!
Continuez à vous amuser.😁
Et laissez les initiés à apprécier les macarons de Pierre Hermé ! 👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yeah, I think the same !
I don't understand; if Pierre Hermé was that bad and unrefined...
How Japanese, a very refined society and palate opened stores and did other products like drinks, exclusive to Japan ?
The only thing to reproach is sometimes the taste of milk is very pronounced like in Ispahan, sometimes sugar too.
But the flavor mixing is very high quality !
If I was a restaurant owner I’d lock the doors if I saw y’all approaching 😂 the amount of disaffection you guys have is overwhelming. I’ve learned if it’s popular or pricey you guys hate it and only like the random mom and pop shops, which is great but dang it’s okay to like touristy places too they got there for a reason.
That just shows sometimes the "best" is a tourist trap lol
I can't believe you guys didn't have ANY coffee
this was so funny!
Sugar coma just watching this.
😂
Hello. We are the Korean reality program ‘Europe Outside the Tent: South France’. We're working on a French episode right now, and it would be great if you could let us use this footage for our show! We look forward to your response! thank you!
Seriously, you spit it out, that last 1 looked amazing…
Le Lautrec is still a chain 😉
You seem to dislike raspberry because anything with it got downvoted big time
that last macaron is the big mac of macarons lol except i could actually eat a big mac
For me, best macarons are from daloyau. They have small and large😊
I can't agree more, so delicious
I had some macarons with ice cream in them in Paris, at a place in SanMichael, it's a chain, and the one I had was chocolate with coffee ice cream and I thought they were awesome, maybe fancy isn't for me either.
that's amorino.
that's amorino.
that's amorino.
😂😂😂😂😂 The bites get smaller & smaller with each macaron!, 😂😂😂 Until FINALLY you find a good one!
Alessio I hope you will like us better someday haha, from France 💙🤍❤
to be honest I like France ❤️
I make macarons and I love nine but the others I've tried have been crap lol
Not a modest question. Did you eat it all in one day from Cedric's pastry shop? That's probably quite a lot of sweets for one day.
no, we film first Cedric and 2 day after this one
It’s funny how a hole in a wall is almost always better than the highly recommended places.
Make sure you give reviews on all of them sad that the gross ones where so high
Try them from Switzerland 🇨🇭
As a parisian, Pierre Hermé and Ladurée are for tourists... But Ispahan macaron is a classic, depends on where you take it of.. I appreciate your review though..
LMAO - two actual French companies are for tourists mmm k.
More industrial than traditional.. its always better to buy from small companies (more authentic, always better)
Pierre Hermé is still produced with artisanal stuff. Laduree is not even produced in France.
The vanilla macoroon from pauls bakery is nice and also the pistachio macroon from Pauls. Many Pauls bakeries in france and uk
We have found that local eateries are probably the best bet when traveling. We may try a few recommendations but in Paris, it’s hard to find really bad food or desserts. The first time we had Pierre H macarons was back in 2008 and we loved it. He didn’t have traditional flavors but we didn’t experience what you experienced so I’m thinking they may have gone down in quality, which is sad.
The food dyes alone are quite dangerous. They are expensive for just what are considered normal cookies in Canada lol.
yum
dear guys, please stick to whatever pastry you like in the US, you seem to be surpassed by the macaron (i don’t believe you were surprised that you actually tasted rose in a ROSE macaron!?, what is it supposed to taste, mcflurry?) I mean yes there is a chance pierre hermé s macaron might notl be all tip top, and i ve tasted them, they are pretty damn good
One of the most frequent critiques of Rose flavored bakes, is that the baker used too much rose flavoring, and it is overpowering. I have seen it again and again.
@@cathycole9577 OK, but to mention that these flavors are all natural and not chemical based, big difference, all the complexity is to reach the correct flavors and incorporate them in a macaron
@@screamz83 Thus, they did not reach that goal, and the macaron tasted bad.
epic!!
I’ve been to paris many times and I’m sad to see your not liking any of the macaroons they are delicious I have no complaints sorry to see you both do !!
we like all macarons from LE LAUTREC
Later....We see Alessio spending the night in restroom....
I thought macarons are supposed to be chewy…? I’m generally not a fan because I always find them too sweet.
All I want is chocolate macrons
Pierre Hermé is a legend of pastries. But now the prices are going out of nowhere. It became a complete luxury meal.
Don’t buy to Ladurée. Those macarons are frozen and are done in Switzerland.
Loved!!!!
