The King Cake is a festive family tradition, bringing everyone together to celebrate. However, its cost can sometimes put a damper on the occasion. Fortunately, Paris offers some great spots where you can enjoy a delicious galette without breaking the bank, all while maintaining excellent quality.
In the windows of artisan bakeries and patisseries, the Galette des Rois makes its return every January, available in single-serving or family sizes. And the good news? It’s entirely possible to enjoy a high-quality, artisan galette at an accessible price.
Far from industrial mass production, these galettes are crafted on-site, using handmade, all-butter flaky pastry, filled with a homemade frangipane made from almond powder, butter, eggs, and sugar. Some bakeries opt for a simpler almond cream filling, which is just as delicious and often more affordable.
In today’s challenging economic climate, some craftspeople are working hard to keep their prices fair, all while showcasing their craftsmanship. To do so, they often embrace simplicity: a classic galette without elaborate fillings, but crafted with precision—crisp, flaky pastry topped with a perfect, golden finish!
Supporting these neighborhood artisans is also about upholding a particular vision of the King Cake: simple, generous, and accessible!
