La Pâtisserie des Marseillais - Pascal Guglielmi — Restaurant in Marseille

I had the Madagascar Flan from this patisserie located near the Old Port in Marseille First of all, this isn't your standard patisserie - everything in here looks super high quality, and large (and more expensive than normal)

The flan I had was flavored with Madagascar vanilla, and tasted very nice It's hard to describe what flan tastes like for people who haven't had it. Think of a pie, but instead of a flaky inside it's more like a custard that's present. Whatever it is, the egg-like mixture really came through, and it was the perfect texture - jiggly and soft but not enough to completely fall apart

The best part though, was the base. This was crumbly, and added just the perfect textural contrast to the softer flan above it. Eating both of those together in a single bite was truly exceptional.

We were so pleased that we returned on the way back from our outing to purchase more for takeout (the Edelweiss is also superb!). The service was also wonderful and very efficient.

If visiting Marseille, be sure to go enjoy these...
