La Belle Miette

Such a cute little store! They have a lot of flavors and you could tell the macaroons here are the real thing. I loved the fact that this store was understated and on a quiet street for you to stumble upon accidentally. I was walking to my hotel and decided to pop in.
I loved the display case where you could see all of the different flavors. The lady behind the counter was very patient and explained the different flavors. I bought a box of 6 for a snack and they were delicious! I can honestly say the quality and flavors of the macaroons were on par with the macaroons I had in Paris. I can’t say the same for macaroons I’ve had in NYC so these macaroons were surprisingly delicious.
If you happen to be in the area, definitely pop in. Make sure you eat them fresh though. The prices are also very fair, at least compared to NYC prices.

Quiet little store with exotic flavours! Reasonably priced. I got two macaroons, passionfruit/​chocolate and caramel/​pear. Needless to say I can’t wait to try the ones I’m bringing home for mum!!! The staff member working that day was lovely and very helpful. I would make the trip there again next time I’m in Melbourne!

Ooh la la! This cute little café is a little slice of Paris itself. With beautiful shades of pastels, this tiny little shop beckons you to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and indulge in some Parisienne teas and macarons.
I have only tried the macarons and they are enough to make me want to come back for more. With a decent selection of delicate flavours, the macarons themselves are in a class of their own. From the perfected crumbling texture of the shell to the subtly flavoured fillings, you want to make sure you are savouring each bite. The flavours aren’t like the mass produced macarons you can easily get elsewhere. I had a moet chandon macaron along with an earl grey flavoured one.
Definitely worth the trek into the city!

La belle miette is a little piece of France right in the heart of the city’s Paris end. The shop is an ode to the sweet pillow of goodness that is the macaron. From the beautiful in store décor to the beautiful gift boxes it is obvious that this is no ordinary treat. The store attendants treat the macarons with the utmost reverence handling each one with great care and attention.
Flavour selections are varied with something for everyone. My favourites include salted caramel, champagne and raspberry chocolate. They often have specials to reflect the time of year and at the moment you can get hot cross bun and hand painted chocolate Easter egg.
If you’re after a tea or coffee there are a few tables that you can relax and soak in the atmosphere.
I think what makes this place so great is not just that they sell delicious treats but the experience that you’re getting something special. I’ve bought boxes a few times as gifts and taken them to friends houses as a post dinner treat and they never disappoint.
