This past Sunday was my birthday and I was eager to go to Ladurée, which had finally opened in Soho! I am a macaron lover and the fact that my aunt and cousins were here visiting from California made it even more special.
We were there for tea time (which I love).You cannot go wrong with macarons, but we also wanted to order so many other treats from the menu...too many amazing choices!
The decor of the restaurant is beautiful. Chandeliers, beautiful molding and art. Perfect setting for afternoon tea.
I ordered Canarino tea Infusion of lemon, lime and orange zests, flavoured with fresh ginger and the Religieuse Griotte Amande—cream puff pastry, “blanc-manger” cream, morello cherry compote, morello cherry. I had never had anything so delicious and beautiful. The cherry and cream...true heaven! Of course we all ordered a variety of macarons too!
Brian's choice was also amazing! He had the St Honoré Rose Framboise—puff pasty, choux pastry, light rose petal cream, raspberry compote, fresh raspberries and rose water Chantilly cream. I'm usually not a big fan of raspberries but this dessert is beyond delicious. The rose petal cream...oh my!
What an amazing place. The only problem is that it's too close to us—too dangerous! Oh Ladurée, thank you for making all my macaron dreams come true!
