07/03/2026: I came in specifically to buy four macarons, and I must say that overall they were good, but I was still expecting better, especially coming from Pierre Hermé, so perhaps my expectations were too high. Special mention goes to the nori seaweed macaron, which was my favorite along with the Infiniment Vanille.
14/01/2026: 5/5 – The best macarons I've ever eaten! Galeries Lafayette Strasbourg – Pierre Hermé Paris
If someone asks where to find the very best macarons in Strasbourg, there's only one answer for me: Pierre Hermé at Galeries Lafayette (ground floor, right by the main entrance).
The macarons are on a completely different level than anything else you'll find – even compared to very good places. The shell is paper-thin and crisp, yet perfectly delicate, and the filling is always incredibly creamy, aromatic, and perfectly balanced.
My absolute personal favorite (and unbeatable in my opinion): Milk Chocolate & Passion Fruit. This combination of creamy, but not too sweet, milk chocolate with the fresh, slightly tart passion fruit note is simply brilliant. It tastes rich and refreshing at the same time – a little addictive moment every single time.
The other varieties I tried were all excellent as well – but the Chocolat au Lait Passion remains the king for me.
They're not cheap, but with this quality and perfection, they're absolutely worth every penny. In short: If you're in Strasbourg and you love macarons, come here. No question.
Definitely the best macarons I've ever had!
