"Mr. Gaudard's croissants have a gossamer glaze of sugar that brightens the taste of the butter in the pastry. When pieces are torn off, the fluffy interior remains fused to the crunchy outer layers, a sign of a transcendently good croissant."

"The Mont Blanc’s lightly caramelised choux pastry, barely sweet whipped cream and candied chestnut purée raises this sometimes cloying classic to new heights."

"This is the kettle corn of croissants: a little salty and a little sweet. That’s the case with all croissants, of course, but this one a little more so than usual, and I’m way into it, and if you taste it, I bet you will be too."

"Once inside, you're presented with seemingly every variety of cake, patisserie and conserve under the soleil, each as appetising as the next. So stop in for a simple croissant or something a bit more elaborate."

"Focused on the classics, he makes one of the best Mont Blanc pastries in Paris."

"The entwining squiggles of chestnut cream on top are amazing – rich with that earthy chestnut flavour, yet impossibly light, with an airy, almost whipped, quality. Buried beneath is a nest of (again) super-light vanilla bean cream cradling chunks of crumbly meringue that are so (again) light and not at all saccharine.By far the best Mont Blanc I've ever had."

"Their croissant has a peachy shimmer thanks to a sugar glaze, giving it an initial sweet kick. There’s a surprising addition to the taste, salt! Adding this element balances the intensity of the butter, so you crave every bite and won’t be bursting at the seams after."
on Croissant
"The place has a number of traditional sweets from the French patisserie that are simply wonderful and can make you give up of eating something salty, but it’s worth it to try the croissant there!"
