The Pâtisserie de Choisy is a true Parisian institution in the 13th arrondissement. A beloved neighborhood spot for generations, it welcomes both loyal locals and newcomers eager to explore its Asian specialties. A sweet and savory haven that appeals to all taste buds, it's a local foodie’s secret worth discovering.
Among the signature offerings are the flaky egg tartlets, a Hong Kong specialty that also comes in a durian variant.
There are also several pastries made with sponge cake, including a particularly delicious Malaiko with Pandan.
Among the classic pastries, you'll find sweet flaky pastries filled with a savory egg yolk center, available in flavors like soy cream, coconut, taro, red bean, or even durian. Initially surprising, you'll soon find yourself won over.
There’s also a lesser-known Chinese specialty for French audiences: the Wife Cake, also known as the love cake. It’s a flaky pastry filled with watermelon and sesame seeds.
Calling all fans of steamed buns, you're bound to fall in love with the stuffed varieties filled with Taro cream, lotus, or even red beans. On the savory side, savory eaters can indulge in creations filled with vegetables or roast pork.
They also offer a variety of hot pastries, including savory turnovers filled with meat or vegetarian options, along with crispy taro fritters.
The Choisy Bakery also offers whipped cream cakes, a popular favorite for birthday celebrations.
Throughout the year, it adapts to the festivities with traditional treats, such as during Lunar New Year, when you'll find delights like Lo Bak Go (radish cake), the Vietnamese Banh Chung (rice cake with meat), and the classic gâteau du bonheur (happiness cake).
In short, you'll find plenty to love with only homemade products on offer!
