in paris, france
leveraging our dinner reservation at plenitude, made a sneaky reservation to cheval blanc’s famous breakfast to finally try the croissants i’ve been wanting to try for ages. tip would just be to call them to ask if you are travelling in a low season, you would most likely be given very early slots (7-8:30am) before the rush of hotel guests arrive.
their breakfast is basically somewhat buffet style, a set price of €60 which comes with complementary pac, croissant, baguette bread-sticks and yogurt, as well as a menu of items which you could order unlimited. was told by many they have the best croissant in paris and/or the world but sadly i would beg to differ. aesthetically, they were spot on, perfect honey comb interior and uniform shaping. but for me it felt super commercial, very light but not in a good way, lacking a homey touch and the rich buttery flavour i like in my croissants. they used a really good quality valroha chocolate in their pac which is worth mentioning, and the vanilla bean filled yogurt and fruits which was one of the best things of the breakfast along with their vanilla cream that comes with the waffles.
we opted for some more pastries like pain suisse which didn’t even feel freshly made on the day. their other sweet treats like crepes, waffles were extremely poor, relatively more decent french toast but a bit sweet for my liking. savouries could completely be skipped but i’m glad i got to somewhat finally tick their breakfast off my list.
