First impression on entering the boutique at 62 rue de Seine:
wow! Yannick Lefort and his inspired wife have pulled out all the stops, inviting their customers into an ultra-colorful, pop setting, with several types of display: one for sweet macaroons, one for savory ones (surrounded by little carrots and pretty tomatoes, the macaroons seem to have come straight from the French countryside to delight our taste buds), one for souvenirs in the shape of sweets, one for cakes... There's as much to see as to eat in this store!
A little round of happiness, the macaron, if it's almond-based, can be indulged in any way Yannick Lefort chooses. For those who like the great classics, don't worry, they're all there, and excellent of course. For the more adventurous, a seasonal menu invites you to discover new sweet flavors: at the moment, spring has inspired the chef to create"Mojito","Chocolat au lait - Passion","Châtaigne" and"Bulle de fraise" recipes, all bursting with sunshine. You'll also be delighted by the old-fashioned macaroons, here called"Macarons des régions", decorated with almonds or orange peel.
A nice surprise for the most creative customers: a counter where you can make your own macaroon: a cook is on hand to listen to your every wish and help you make the top, bottom and inside of the macaroon. A great idea for those who want to try pastries their own way!
Last but not least, the store's highlight is its savoury window: with truffle, horseradish or beet, here macarons venture into almost uncharted flavours, to be served as a salad, an aperitif or even as an accompaniment to a dish. The tastes are bold and well thought-out: we tasted it, we loved it!
Yannick Lefort 's store is a great success, with prices that are not at all excessive, and a thousand different ways to treat customers: macaroons can also be eaten as cakes for several guests, as soft cakes, as lollipops, as small and large ones... A must to discover.
