Julien Plumart Boutique Et Salon De Thé

First time purchasing macarons in the UK and it happens to be in brighton passing this little shop on the way to the pebble beach. As an American tourist and a foodie enthusiast, I loved these macarons.

The macarons they make here are very soft, which I like. It’s not as crunchy and does not taste stale like some other places that I’ve tried. The ganache is not as thick, so sometimes when you take a bite, some might fall out of the other side. I’m not sure how to feel about that yet, haha.
What I like about this place is the variety of flavors and how visually appealing they are. I got a box of 8, and in order of the picture I have, they’re Black Forest, Jasmine Tea (gradient colored lavender to white), Raspberry, Strawberry, Rose, Red berries and Violet, Cherry & Pistachio (two toned!), and Lychee with Raspberry & Rose (white with pink edible glitter). It’s a unique twist to the basic colored macarons, so of course I had to grab some here. They’re also nicely packaged as well. For an 8 count box, it was 13 pounds.
The service was great, the person serving me was patient and explained different flavors to me. :)
I believe they also have other breakfast foods and drinks.

Easily, by a mile, the best macarons in Brighton (though not –quite– as good as a select few you can get your hands on if you are willing to travel to London). In addition to macarons, they have fresh cakes which always look delicious and gorgeous, and classic french pastries which they will offer you for a bit of a discount at the end of the day if you are buying something else ;D
During my last visit I had a selection of 8 macarons which were priced at what I’d say is the general exhorbitant going rate of macarons. Some of the flavors change seasonally but I had the Sea Salt Caramel, Jasmin Tea, Lychee Raspberry & Rose*, Morello Cherry & Pistachio*, Black Forest, Tonka Bean & Peanut*, Passion Fruit, Pistachio. * = standout flavor.
I have sadly not had the occassion to try their sit-​down tea experience yet, but rest assured I will be back and will let you know!

The best French boutique patisserie experience in Brighton — the atmosphere is simply perfect, a mix of modern flash downstairs with classic café upstairs. Staff are always super friendly and greet you with a lovely ‘Bonjour Madam/​Monsieur!’ when you walk in the door. You will begin salivating at the sight of the array of fresh cakes, pastries and macarons (oh my goodness those macarons!) displayed inside the entrance. Upstairs is a beautifully decorated and cozy (but never cramped) café seating area where you can enjoy the treats and watch people wander by on the street below. Coffee is delicious too — 5 star experience all the way!
