Pâtisserie Michalak l Saint-Germain-des-prés

Christophe Michalak is a very highly regarded chef in Paris, and this shop showcases the wide range of his talents. There’s lots to choose from in the pastry case, but one of the many to-die-for confections is the krumchy, a caramel-stuffed cookie garnished with nougat and hazelnuts. For something sweet that’s easy to transport, opt for the kosmiks, a series of desserts from deconstructed vanilla caramel mille-feuilles to lemon-yuzu meringue tarts, served in jars.
