Mammy Choux is one of those hidden gems you'll not be able to forget. And not only because of their super beautiful minimal aesthetic place with lots of mirrors and white colour, or friendly and calm atmosphere, but most importantly because of their colourful mouthwatering dishes and sweets.

If you miss the chance to order as soon as you sit down because you didn’t go through 20 pages of menu as fast as them, you will only order in the next 10 minutes, so try to have the order in mind.
