Patisserie Restaurants

  1. A

    Varsos

    This huge patisserie has been making traditional sweets and dairy products since 1892. Dine in the old-style café, or sit outside in the courtyard and sample the famous rice pudding, honey pastries, honey or scrumptious cheese pies.

    Ladurée

    One of the oldest patisseries in Paris, Ladurée has been around since 1862 and was the original creator of the lighter-than-air macaron. The tearoom here is the classiest spot to indulge your sweet tooth on the Champs; alternatively, pick up some pastries to go – from croissants to its trademark macarons, it’s all quite heavenly.

    Kılıçoğlu

    The tantalising display of treats glitters like a jewellery store in this slick pastry shop and ice cream parlour. If you can resist the squishy fıstıklı (pistachio) baklavas, you're just not human.

    Kurt

    Entering a true patisserie should delight all of your senses, and Kurt does just that. The flaky strudels and palm-sized tortes with strawberries and kiwifruit lie illuminated behind the glass counter. The smell of cappuccino hangs in the air as classical music plays overhead. A few round tables then set the stage for the most rewarding sensory experience: tasting these delicate cakes and pastries.

    Adriano Zumbo

    Crafty Adriano gets up at 3am every day to bake the amazing edibles on sale in his superskinny patisserie. The slenderness of the shop will be inversely proportionate to the girth of your waistline if you visit too often: the macaroons, the lemon and rhubarb tarts, the pain au chocolate and the orange almond cakes are as astonishing to look at as they are to eat.

    Ceci Cela

    Tiny and narrow, this French patisserie has all sorts of scrumptious treats: pains aux chocolats, chaussons aux pommes, pains aux raisins and brioches, to name but a few. There's also fruit tarts, pies and crème brûlée – all made with 'pure' butter, the chef says. There's space in the back to sit and eat.

    Hatipoğlu Pastaneleri

    With a great selection of traditional Turkish puds, pastries and cakes, this friendly patisserie makes a terrific breakfast or tea stop. Try the Ayvalık speciality, lok (sponge oozing honey; TL3) and go on, add a scoop of dondurma (ice cream).

    La Pâtisserie des Rêves

    The most extraordinary cakes, far too beautiful to eat, are showcased beneath glass domes at this ‘patisserie of dreams’ of big-name pâtissier Philippe Conticini. Each month cooks up a different fruit tart – banana in January, almond in March, purple figs and quince in November and so on.

    La Reine Mathilde

    A sumptuous, c 1900-style pâtisserie and salon de thé that's ideal if you've got a hankering for something soft and sweet. There's seating here, making it a great spot for breakfast or afternoon tea.

    Çavuşoğulu

    Partly baklavacı, partly kebapçı, this sprightly outfit rustles up dishes that will fill your tummy without emptying your wallet. Portions are copious, the meat is perfectly slivered and the salads are fresh.

    Confeitaria Colombo

    Stained-glass windows, brocaded mirrors and marble countertops create one of the most lavish settings for coffee, a meal or most importantly dessert – including an excellent pastel de nata (custard tart).
