My Dream of Flavors (Mon reve Paris) — Restaurant in Parañaque

Went here with mon copain to try their pastries and left with a bag of full of flavorful stories (and macarons)

Sa labas pa lang you know you’re in for a treat. It was a compact aesthetic pastry place with few tables, walls have sockets so you can charge while enjoying their food, and a visible kitchen! You can see them create pastries.

We are fortunate may mga natira pang eclairs and macarons, kasi talagang pinakyaw nung mga nauna sa amin. Boom ganoon kasarap!

We ordered pain au, surprise macarons, pistachio macaron, and Chef Chesca recommended their belgian hot chocolate. Grabe sa richness. We were able to dip the pain au in it with much gusto!

Hindi pa kami tapos sa kinakain namin umorder ulit kami. Nakakwentuhan namin si Chef Chesca. My boyfriend was so happy kasi nakapg-french sya with her and got to relatr to her stories.

Chef Chesca worked for a decade in the most luxurious place in the world - Monte Carlo. She was able to hone her skills and serve food with the highest quality standards. In a MICHELIN-STARRED HOTEL. No less.

The. BF. Homes. community. is. so. lucky. SO LUCKY. to. have. her. nearby.

We got ube and calamansi eclairs tapos binigyan kami ng bonus creme brûlée eclair and financier huhu she so generous with the kwento and with her craft pa 😭 we were so blessed

going back to the food. Grabe yung bite ng calamansi eclair. Palong palo. Palate cleanser sa chocolatey order namin 🤣 yung surprise macarons namin belgian chocolate rin tapos may hot choco pa hahaha so my mouth was reformatted with just one bite of their calamansi eclair. Panalo.

Before leaving, we bought macarons for my boyfriend’s mom. They have selections that are not too sweet SO THATS A GEM FOR TITAS LIKE ME.

My god. I am so happy we got to interact with her before they closed their store. Such an inspiring woman.

Thank you for being a wonderful person. May your business bloom even more and sana marami pang makatikim. 🫶🏼 no wonder namamakyaw ang...

NOT GATEKEEPING THIS!!! (sobrang natuwa ako sa experience na napaedit ako sa canva HAHAHA)

my friend randomly saw mon réve paris on instagram and wanted to try it — and as people who don’t even have a sweet tooth, i’m telling you: you have to go!!

bihira lang ako mag-enjoy ng sweets (as a baker myself 😅), so here’s a detailed review of my top picks from last night (nag-order kami 1 box of macarons and 1 box of éclairs) ————————————— hot chocolate: dark and super rich!! the perfect pair for their éclairs!!! sobraaaang wow huhu 🥹

éclairs: crème brûlée: top 1! 😩 ang sarap ng filling. this might be their best flavor. chocolat: they weren’t kidding when they said this is the bestseller—lalo na with the hot choco 😭 café – i loved the little coffee bean on top hihi cute

macarons: earl grey: unexpectedly good! 👌 calamansi – that citrusy kick works so well coffee – winner talaga coffee flavors nila

salmon aburi croissant: last to arrive, but definitely worth the wait—the perfect ender after all that sweetness.

⸻ price: inabot kami almost 2k pero for me, sobrang sulit...

Traveled all the way from QC to try this place and it was definitely worth it.

We went there for evening desserts. The hot chocolate was rich and soothing and was one of the, if not the best I've had in Metro Manila.

They have a unique selection of eclairs and I like how they created eclairs using local flavors and ingredients. The Coobe (ube) and calamansi were great and I'd recommend trying them too.

They had a wide variety of teas, and it's helpful that they have choices for relaxing teas and more strong, energizing ones. I don't find that often here, and would try them next time I get a chance to go.

It's a lot easier to get to now with the opening of the Dr Santos LRT 1 station. You might still need to get a Grab but that would be a less than 30 minute ride from the LRT station.

Chef Chesca had training and years of experience in France and it shows. Shame I could only try so much in one visit.

Merci beaucoup...
