Angelina: Does chocolate get better than this?

    I had a whole list of possible places to eat on my one day in Paris, and I am so glad we decided on Angelina. Besides looking like a doll house, with its marble, gilded ironwork, and mirrors, I had the best hot chocolate of my life here!

    Americans, do be aware that the servers here do not appear to speak fluent English. I ordered in broken French, and thankfully that was good enough for our waitress, who spoke to us mostly in French herself. Most of the menu does have English descriptions as well as French.

    Favorite Dish: The Chocolat Africains, which is most closely related to hot chocolate, but ten times better...a thick, creamy, intense pitcher of chocolate served with a whole parfait glass of rich whipped cream. Amazing.

    This beautiful bakery/cafe is situated on the Champs d'Elysses, and has prices to match...but one look at the pastry display will push that to the back of your mind...

    You can sit down inside or on the sidewalk, or just order your pastries to go, which is what I did. A Paris instution!

    Favorite Dish: Try the macaroons--they come in several flavors--chocolate, almond, pistachio, etc. Not traditional American-style macaroons at all--these are denser and more intensely flavored, and there's no coconut here--it's actually a blend of almond paste and other flavorings!

     Paris and Philadelphia...two of my favorite cities!

     Hope you make it back to Paris again...for more than 12hours! They have just opened a Laduree in London so I may have to visit and try one of those macaroons : )

     Don't worry about Beatchick's criticism. Macaroon is good *English*. You don't have to use the French word when you write in English.

     Hi, LondonLover, just wanted to point out that it is actually macaron & there is no coconuts in these confections. They are made of egg whites & almond paste & then flavored with whatever: roses, pistachios, etc. Excellent Ladurée tip, though!
