But the secret is no longer so well-kept: while awaiting the reopening of its other tea rooms on June 9, Mariage Frères unveils its terrace not far from Place de l'Étoile, in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré. While enjoying the capital's fine weather, you can enjoy a delicious tea brewed to perfection from the hundreds of references on offer here, before indulging in the gourmet treats on the à la carte menu.

For our part, we were tempted by the three versions of bao offered on the menu. You choose your recipe - smoked salmon, beef tataki or vegetarian- and your bao bread, which comes in charcoal, turmeric or matcha. In all cases, you'll find a colorful plate at your table, delighting your eyes before your taste buds. Each of these recipes offers a fine balance of flavors, with the taste of ginger in the beef version and the creaminess of beet hummus in the vegetarian version.

But if the dishes are enough to seduce gourmets, the desserts are a must for sweet tooths. In our opinion, Mariage Frères is undoubtedly one of the best patisseries in Paris, and its creations deserve to be better known. Throughout the year, themed ephemeral creations such as the Sakura attract connoisseurs.

During our visit, we tasted a tribute to Roland Garros, a light, trompe-l'oeil tennis ball with rhubarb. A creation that echoes the sunny days and the fast-approaching summer!
