Best Dishes at Ladurée
Macaron Rose
ConfectioneryLadurée's signature pink macaron features a delicate rose flavor with subtle raspberry notes. The macaron shell is perfectly executed — crispy exterior with chewy interior. This is the macaron most associated with the brand and appears in iconic photographs.
Macaron Pistachio
ConfectioneryA classic macaron featuring natural pistachio flavor — nutty, slightly earthy, balanced. The ganache is silky and the macaron shell has the ideal crunch-to-chew ratio. Many consider pistachio the safest choice for first-time macaron buyers.
Afternoon Tea Service
Afternoon TeaThe quintessential Ladurée experience — a formal afternoon tea service served in one of their ornate rooms. Includes petit fours, macarons, pâtisserie, finger sandwiches, and your choice of loose-leaf tea. The ritual and presentation are as important as the food. Bookings required.
Macaron Chocolate
ConfectioneryFor chocolate lovers, Ladurée's chocolate macaron pairs a crispy cocoa-dusted shell with smooth dark chocolate ganache. The chocolate is rich but not overpowering. This flavor is consistent year-round.
Grand Brunch
BrunchLadurée's most elaborate offering — a full buffet-style brunch featuring fresh pastries (croissants, pain au chocolat), savory items like smoked salmon and eggs, cheese and charcuterie boards, and warm dishes. Champagne pairings available. Children's pricing available.
About Ladurée
Ladurée opened in 1862 and is credited as one of the birthplaces of the macaron as we know it. The Champs-Élysées flagship location is palatial with a boutique, outdoor terrace, winter garden, dessert bar, and pastry workshop rooms. The pastel macarons in classic flavors — rose, pistachio, chocolate — are instantly recognizable. While prices reflect the brand prestige, the quality and experience are genuine. Afternoon tea is a ritual here.

The Champs-Élysées location is iconic but crowded, especially mid-afternoon. Go early (before 11 AM) or late (after 7 PM) for a more pleasant experience.
Individual macarons cost €2.90 each, but 4-packs and larger boxes offer better value. A box of 4 runs about €11-12.
The tearoom rooms are the main draw beyond the macarons. Sit down and enjoy the Belle Époque decor and Napoleon III styling designed by Jacques Garcia.
Ladurée is between the Musée du Petit Palais and the Grand Palais. Perfect as a stop while exploring the avenue's museums and shops.
