Where to Eat the Best Luxurious Pastries?

Pastry is where precision meets artistry, and the world's great pastry chefs create works that delight both the eye and the palate. Our pastry section reviews the finest patisseries, boulangeries, and pastry boutiques we have visited — from the legendary houses of Paris to emerging artisans in cities around the globe. We evaluate technical mastery, flavour balance, visual presentation, and the freshness that separates a great patisserie from a merely good one.

Our reviews cover croissants, tarts, eclairs, entremets, viennoiseries, and every creation in between. We share which specialities each house is known for, price points, the best time to visit for the freshest selection, and whether they offer a salon de the for tasting on site.

From Meilleurs Ouvriers de France to the next generation of pastry talent, discover the artisans whose work is truly remarkable. We also track seasonal creations — galettes des rois, buches de Noel, Easter collections — because the best patissiers reveal their full artistry through these traditional occasions.
