A gourmet and comforting spot to enjoy good pastries, what do you say? Well, we discovered a charming tea room hidden in a covered passage in Paris. To get there, you'll have to go into the sublime Vivienne gallery. It is in this place classified as a historical monument, in a luxurious setting that honors the charm of the capital that Le Petit Valentin is located.
This tea room will tempt the gourmets with beautiful pastries that are spread out in front of its shop window. For those who wish to immerse themselves a little more in the beauty of this gallery, one can sit on the terrace. For those who wish to take refuge in the cosy setting of Le Petit Valentin, we go inside to settle down in this warm and comforting cocoon inspired by the Paris of yesteryear.
On the menu, you will discover home-made pastries that will make sweet tooths happy. During our visit, we immediately fell in love with the pastry of the day which had caught our eye upon entering. It was an exotic creation with mango and passion fruit, with a delicious fruit compote insert on top of a madeleine cookie.
We also chose Azélia, a regressive creation made with hazelnut cookie, milk chocolate mousse with a heart of mango and passion fruit compote. Rich in flavors, without being too sweet, these two pastries have both hit the bull's eye: it's a favorite. To accompany these delicious pastries, you can choose a Dammann Frères tea from the wide selection offered on the menu or Le Chouchou, a homemade hot chocolate.
But if you have a sweet tooth, don't turn back: a lunch menu invites you to taste French classics such as the croque-monsieur, to try an avocado-toast or the velouté du jour, ideal for the coldest days.
