Food: adequate, no bread or butter comes with Laduree salad (unlike Paris, London, or NYC), "hot" chocolate comes warm; French pastries are adequate for Paul but not Laduree Paris, London, or New York (see photos) and below the Lov Group standards; salt and pepper aren't on the outside tables; no Isphan or rose ice cream macarons available at this location for summer, a huge disappointment

Read moreA nice environment to enjoy your coffee and sweets. One of the best espresso on the island. A bit overpriced water at 5 euros and if you get your macarons as a "take away" a definitely overpriced box for 6 pieces. The box alone costs 3 euros....as much as a piece of macarons. Otherwise it is...
