I'd recommend a visit to Angelina's tearooms on Rue de Rivoli - an ideal place to take your partner or daughter if you want to impress her with the knowledge that Angelina is known to have been frequented by Coco Chanel!
That reason aside, the cakes are fabulous (like little pieces of art and totally delicious). Their signature dessert, chesnut-based Mont Blonc, is a delight. The coffee is great (cafe creme my personal favourite although I read about their
notoriously rich chocolat l’africain) and the beautiful decor makes for a lovely experience.
Ladies, don't leave without visiting the bathroom which is as lovely as the rest of the place!
226 rue de Rivoli, 1er, near the Jardin Tuileries. Tel: 01 42 60 82 00
