As the capital of the “country of fashion and cuisine,” Paris boasts a wide variety of restaurants and culinary offerings. Among this rich culinary scene, Paris is home to world-class patissiers, though not every dessert sold at every shop is worth flying all the way to Paris for. Below, we’ve listed the top five most worthwhile patisseries in Paris in 2015.
 
Pierre Hermé
 
Besides being famous for its handcrafted, delicious signature macarons, it is also a world-renowned patisserie. The owner of the pastry shop, Pierre Hermé from Paris, is also a peerless master of desserts. With exquisite Isfahan pastries, limited-edition sweets, and fragrant chocolate desserts among its offerings, Pierre Hermé is truly the most talented patissier in all of Paris.

Aoki Sadaharu
 
Having won various gourmet awards, Aoki Sadaharu belongs to the era of “minimalism” that particularly emphasizes flavor pairing in the culinary world. Although the designs of Aoki Sadaharu’s confections are relatively simple, they taste extraordinary—especially his signature green tea cookies, which are an absolute must-try.

Ladurée
 
This patisserie is Pierre Hermé’s main rival, and Ladurée sees itself as a “fabricant de douceur” (maker of sweetness). The question of who makes better macarons—Pierre Hermé or Ladurée—remains debated, but Ladurée’s adorable small patisserie and colorful desserts are definitely worth savoring both for their appearance and taste.
