Roulés Boulés 2024's delicious artisanal galettes des rois

When it comes to galette des Rois, there are the exceptional, the original, the chef's creations, but also the sure-fire values, those that combine gourmet goodness and savoir-faire, all without putting a hole in the wallet. We've already told you about Roulés Boulés, this neighborhood bakery in Paris's 3rd arrondissement, which offers good sourdough bread and crazy viennoiseries, imagined by Anthony Nguyen, the talented Tourier who likes to seduce us with his sometimes original creations.

Roulés Boulés, aware that all tastes are in nature, offers us different variations of galettes des Rois. These include the traditional almond galette des Rois with generous frangipane. Added to this is a chocolate-hazelnut and muscovado sugar version, which adds a little caramel-cinnamon touch that's not to our displeasure. These galettes are available at 20€ per galette for 4 and 30€ per galette for 6.

Since Anthony Nguyen is Vietnamese, he likes to add exotic flavors to his traditional galettes. So, as of January 2, 2025, you'll also find on the shelves galettes with pandan, the famous aromatic herb that perfumes Asian desserts to perfection. This is our favorite in this gourmet selection.

Roulés Boulés also offers two other galettes, available to order only. And they're not the least good, far from it. The frangipane galette with rum and muscovado sugar (a galette we love) is yours, as is the durian galette, reserved for initiates or daredevils. A Durian or Pandan galette for 6 people costs €36, while a rum-frangipane galette costs €30. If you'd like to try one, note that it's possible to treat yourself to slices for 6€.

In short, if you're looking for excellent galettes made by a talented tourier, generous and well-filled galettes, traditional or with more unusual tastes, this is the place to go.
