Paris is full of beautiful gourmet addresses with a well-defined universe. Among the most charming spots that flourish in the capital is Odette, a pastry house specialized in cream puffs. Its first address is located in the Latin Quarter, a stone's throw from Place Saint-Michel.
It is in a picturesque little house dating from the 17th century thatOdette presented herself to the gourmands for the first time. The location is an echo of the History of Paris. It faces theSaint-Julien-le-Pauvre church, one of the oldest in the capital, and the René Viviani-Montebello square where the oldest tree in the City of Light is located. You will have understood, here we immerse ourselves in the heart of the Paris of yesteryear.
On the first floor, there is a small tea room with a retro Art Deco spirit. On the first floor, behind the window of the counter,Odette 's colorful choux are a sight to behold. The first address was then followed by a second one, in the rue Montorgueil, renowned for being a den of ultra-gourmet spots.
The choux are made every day in a laboratory located in Paris and when you taste them, there is no doubt about their freshness. Nine flavors are offered: lemon, raspberry, praline, coffee, vanilla, pistachio, salted butter caramel and chocolate. What we appreciate most is their surprising lightness, and the respect of the good flavors.
For example, the pistachio doesn't have that marzipan taste that you can taste elsewhere: the cream's aroma is true to the flavor of the dried fruit. The coffee literally gives us the impression of tasting a cappuccino in the form of cabbage, the praline has a pronounced taste of hazelnut ... the tasting completes to convince us of the quality of the product. Bonus for special occasions, you can even order your own personalized choux!
