Galette des Rois in Paris: Tapestry between tradition and delicacy

Since the opening of the first patisserie at 11ᵉ and then the one at 7ᵉ in salon de thé mode, Tapisserie Paris has entered our hearts. It has to be said that its creations are just delicious and the famous Maple Syrup Tart is one of our must-try at least once in Paname. In short, when it's Galettes des Rois season, we can't pass it up, especially as this year the house is offering 2 versions: one with frangipane (€32) for purists and one with organic hazelnut gianduja (€44) for the adventurous. Admittedly, we fall into both categories. We like traditional as well as creative, all tastes are catered for.

What do these 2 galettes des Rois have in store for us? An inverted puff pastry, both buttered and caramelized, of course. Available in our boutiques in the 11th and 7th arrondissements, these galettes can be enjoyed in a single format for six people, or by the slice, without pre-ordering, directly in the boutique.

The classic galette relies on a creamy, fragrant frangipane, while the gianduja version boasts a generous, melt-in-the-mouth filling, enriched with gourmet pieces of chocolate and hazelnuts. Low in sugar and perfectly balanced, the latter embodies the spirit of the house: flavors carefully crafted, without artifice. The inverted puff pastry, crisp and melting at the same time, blends perfectly with the lightly sweetened crunchy cream. In short, it's delicious.
