Yes go to the 8th floor for the view if not for the food. The quality price ratio is average however the service lacks the personality of Printemps high quality. Often I have observed servers aren’t too keen and close shop earlier than closing time. Had a nice healthy carrot ginger juice however it’s the view I went for and I’m certain you will too. Prices elevated so be prepped.
A little late, I would like to give my humble opinion on the beautiful space occupied by the team of Nina Métayer, our world pastry champion 🇨🇵 at Printemps du Goût.
We tasted the Pisanki and then the chocolate passion, enormous work and an emotion that I had not felt since the Mogador macaron from the immense Pierre Hermé. Then a good vanilla flan even if I regret not having been able to introduce my partner to the incredible tonka bean and muscovado sugar flan 🥺 but hey the kind and smiling saleswoman explained to me why.
And we finished with 3 vanilla pistachio/orange blossom and chocolate choux.
Excellent choux pastry, intensity of flavors, special mention of pistachio/orange blossom!
I can't finish this review without talking about the place and the extra 5 euros to be able to eat there. You should still know that neither Pierre Hermé, nor Yann Couvreur nor Philippe Conticini offer a tasting space. That day it was raining in torrents and we were so happy to pay that little extra and enjoy a nice place, quiet and with a nice view. Thank you again for this moment!
We tested the Nina Métayer pastries, a delight 😍 on the other hand the extra 5 euros per pastry to consume on site is a real racket, each pastry costs 13 euros!
