La Pâtisserie des Rêves- Paris

On the advice of my aunt, I took a jaunt to this beautiful little patisserie in Paris' 7th Quarter. The store was so small I would have missed it were it not for the long line snaking through the store. Despite the lack of a menu or any type of centralized place to see what was on offer, I settled on a mini Paris Brest, a desert I have been longing to make in my own kitchen for years.

When I finally found a place to sit and enjoy my little treasure, I was delighted by the praline filling, the excellent pastry dough, and the beautiful presentation. This bundle of joy cost slightly under 6 euros, but definitely worth the cost. My only criticism would be that the dough is a little too soft and giving, which doesn't provide a satisfactory contrast of texture between the dough and the cream.

Since the shop stupidly built a Flash website, my IPhone won't display it, but here's the address:

93 Rue du Bac
Paris, 75007
Metro Sevres-Babylone
