About patisseries
Patisserie is the fine-dining end of the baking world. Where a bakery is about bread and everyday bakes, a pâtissier works in grams and degrees: glossy mirror glazes, crisp sablé bases, mousses that hold a perfect edge and choux buns piped to identical sizes. In the UK you will find classically trained French-style shops, contemporary studios inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian pastry, and cafés that make a small range of tarts in-house.
What to order
- Éclair – A crisp choux finger filled to the ends, with a shiny fondant or glaze that matches the filling.
- Tarte au citron – Sharp lemon cream on a thin, snapping pastry case is a quiet test of skill.
- Mille-feuille – Caramelised puff layers that shatter rather than bend, with vanilla cream between them.
- Paris-Brest – A ring of choux filled with praline cream, originally created to honour a cycle race.
- Macarons – Look for smooth tops, a ruffled 'foot' and a slightly chewy centre.
