"Of all the desserts and pastries in Paris, there isn’t one better than Jacques’ Paris-Brest."

Cindy Wang

"What it is: a ring of choux pastry studded with crunchy hazelnuts, sandwiching swirls of gorgeous hazelnut praline cream. Holy, moly, heavenly – I was not disappointed despite ultra high expectation."

Anne Banas

"And I would be remiss not to mention Genin's elegant individual pastries, like the long, skinny glazed chocolate eclair and the tallest Paris-Brest (a pastry ring filled with praline cream) I've ever seen."

Alicia Miller

"Locals queue behind a velvet rope for the chance to slide a fork through its impeccable Paris Brest — a chewy-crispy pastry filled with a Ferrero Rocher-esque cream and topped with hazelnuts."

John Lee

“Jacques Genin has the most amazing Paris-Brest, only available by ordering in advance: a ring of pâte à choux stuffed with caramelized hazelnut praline cream.”

Adam Wayda

"So, yes, do make sure to grab Monsieur Genin’s Paris-Brest."

Catherine Down

"This Paris-Brest exhibited such a purity of nut flavor with such incredible balance.”

Mike CookBook

"However, in the meantime I had the chance to go and taste the REAL Paris-Brest by Jacques Génin, in his Parisian shop rue de Turenne, a pure moment of pleasure... I'll come back later. "

Alice Ngo

"Definitely our favorite Paris-Brest in Paris. I love the fact he adds whole hazelnuts on top of his Paris-Brest."
