Where can we find the perfect madeleine, the one from our childhood that exudes butter and fresh eggs? Here’s a round-up of the most regressive madeleines.
Carl Marletti
For their impeccable roundness and golden color, baked to perfection, Carl Marletti’s madeleines are among the best in Paris. Airy, they reveal a heart that melts in the mouth.
Carl Marletti, 51, rue Censier, 75005 Paris, www.carlmarletti.com
Bo & Mie
Praline madeleines from the Bo & Mie bakery are one of our favorites. The reason? Their 64% chocolate icing and deliciously runny center… You can even order them online and have them delivered to your door.
Bo & Mie,18, rue de Turbigo, 75002 Paris, www.boetmie.com
Lenôtre
We’ve fallen in love with the madeleine from Lenôtre, with its aromas of orange blossom, vanilla and lemon zest. Bumpy, fragrant and melt-in-your-mouth, it’s one of the most gourmet in Paris. In a different register, the hazelnut madeleine is also worth trying out for its caramelized hazelnut on top.
Lenôtre, 121, avenue de Wagram, 75017 Paris, www.lenotre.com
Boulangerie Moderne
Tierry Rabineau’s crunchy chocolate-covered madeleines are addictive. We advise you to come early, as they are victims of their own success.
Boulangerie Moderne, 16, rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris
Fauchon
Pistachio-raspberry, chocolate, lemon, honey… At Fauchon, the madeleine comes in a variety of flavors. Perfectly sweet, the soft dough encloses a melting heart. A special mention for the golden color of the classic madeleine, which is second to none.
Fauchon, 30, place de la Madeleine, 75008 Paris, www.fauchon.com
Blé Sucré
At Blé Sucré, Fabrice Le Bourdat (former pastry chef at Le Bristol and Le Plaza) creates a signature madeleine, the madeleine of sharing. Colossal in size, it is made using a giant mold. And don’t forget the delicious little madeleines with orange-flavored icing.
Blé Sucré, 7, rue Antoine Vollon, 75012 Paris
La Biscuiterie Jeannette
Ultra-regressive, Jeannette madeleines have been among the best in France since 1850. Made in Normandy, in the Caen region, they are rich in pure butter and fresh eggs. The perfect madeleine from our childhood, to order directly online.
