WHERE TO EAT The best Éclair in the world (according to food experts)

"As for the Eclair, Stohrer's are the authentically simple ones. Although I loved the "L'Eclair de Genie" ones, these are not to be compared with anyone. They are just right: Premium soft dough, generously filled with fine ingredients you'll enjoy."

"At L’Éclair de Génie, pastry chef Christophe Adam prepares slightly smaller sized pastries that you’ll find at the typical corner bakery, but the flavors are intense and the decoration that first put me off (I’m a classicist) won me over because – well, they just tasted so good."

"A green-tea croissant or a sesame éclair, anyone? Japanese cake guru, Sadaharu Aoki, mixes flavours from the East with traditional French pastry ingredients to come up with some of the most surprising (and delicious) cakes in Paris."

"When we split that one eclair, the world around us magically evaporated. We looked at each other and exclaimed at the same time with our mouths full "oh my god...this is incredible...""

"The éclair au chocolat now has our vote for one of the best in the city – and we’ve tried a few!"

"The salty caramel cream is smooth, and intense. I just want to lift one of the pipes and lay it on my tongue, let it melt."

"When the king of cocoa couture, Jean-Paul Hévin, Meilleur Ouvrier de France and trendy chocolatier on the rue Saint-Honoré concocts an éclair, it’s of course “the” chocolate éclair."

"Familiar to every foodie and patisserie enthusiast. Reminiscent of a patisserie in Paris with sweet and salty pastries and personal desserts like éclairs. The Kadoshes insist on staying put in the same mythological place."

"Top off lunch with a yummy eclair."

The best eclairs in town, sweet and soft with a variety of filling, it's a must try.
