Travellers returning from a Parisian sojourn prattle on about history, architecture, and romance (blecch), but true sophisticates go for one reason: the macarons.
Though we don’t have Laduree or a Pierre Herme around the corner, Balmain’s Adriano Zumbo gives those Frenchies a run for their eurotrash, oui?
Adriano trained in Paris at the world famous ‘Ecole Lenotre’, and he’s got mad skills to show. It’s difficult to pick a favourite flavour, between pistachio, passionfruit, blueberry, and rice pudding, so why not just buy them all fattie? He has other sweets, and he even serves like, food food, which I’m sure is all terrific. But where else in town can you get macarons this good? Worth the trip for sure.
