Jacques Genin - Fondeur en chocolat

Many thanks to Ute (see separate blog) I couldn't miss out on a patisserie visit today and Jacques Genin not far from the Place de Vosges is a new find for me. Love a new place! Looking more like a minimalist homeware store than teahouse and chocolate store Chef and his team make EVERYTHING on site. Many of the big names have gone mass market and use production kitchens, not this store. And another interesting note - coffee is not served; he believes that delicate asian teas bring out the best flavours in patisserie. A big trend in Paris is the flan, simple elegant delicious and my dessert was amazing - blending the flavours of millefeuille with choux balls of chocolate, classic and caramel. The hot top for this store the homemade caramels best being passionfruit and mango - YUM
