Hotels near Laduree

This famous French patisserie dates back to 1862, when Louis Ernest Ladurée, a miller from southwest France, created a bakery at 16 rue Royale in Paris. The ornate London shop is housed in the picturesque Burlington Arcade - they also have a concession in Harrods where you can sit down for traditional afternoon tea and further stores in Covent Garden and the City. Delicate and delightful macaroons, sold by the kilo, are their signature and come beautifully presented in boxes in a whole choice of flavours from pistachio to rose petal. But you can also choose from a whole variety of baked and creamed goods from fresh petits fours to millefeuille au vieux rhum brun - vanilla cream flavoured caramelized puff pastry with old dark rum. The sweet pastry, smooth passion fruit cream and fresh raspberriestarte passion framboise is hard to resist.
