Macaron was originally intended to be "crushed" and "whipped". It was invented by the Italians as early as the 15th century. It was originally an almond cookie made by a nun named Carmelie in order to substitute for food. But at the beginning of the 20th century, the sandwich sandwich method created by Parisian pastry chef Pierre Herme pushed Macaron to the forefront of the trend, winning thousands of favorites for Parisian sandwiches and continuing to this day. The case is slightly sweet and crispy almond round cake. The interior is moist, soft and slightly sticky. The macarons fillings of various flavors carefully sandwiched in the middle are bite down and rich in texture. Anyone would like to give up. "Girl's breasts."
Nowadays, this protein, sugar and almond powder is very versatile, with different colors, styles, and tastes. It is as charming as a variety of French girls, and has captured thousands of taste buds and hearts. However, in today's Macarons, top quality macarons are not easy to find.Head office in ParisWith branches all over the worldLadurée claims to be the founder of the French macarons, but unfortunately L has no branch in Los Angeles. In addition to Macaron specialty shops and bakeries, many French restaurants also make and sell macarons. Where is the high-quality macarons in Los Angeles, the food empire? The team carefully selected some macarons from bakeries and French restaurants to introduce to you-the twelve Macarons that Los Angeles must not miss (in no particular order).
1. Bottega Louie
In the village of Lau without Laduree, Bottega Louie's macarons should be regarded as upright. Standing in the busy DTLA, the lively and noisy surroundings, coupled with exquisite and delicious Western food, there will be an illusion of crossing the Paris subway station. The macarons here have a variety of flavors, which will always make you dazzled; the outer macaroons are crispy, and the inner macaron is sweet but not greasy, which is truly "girl's crispy breast". The box of girl powder or fantasy purple is also too pleasing to the cute girl.
Recommended flavors: sea salt caramel, dark chocolate, coffee, roses, violets, pistachios, and of course Earl Grey tea with blue and gold flakes.

3.Little Next Door
There's really no reason to go to Little Next Door, a well-known French restaurant. Excellent location, comfortable environment and elegant decoration. Beautiful tables run along the long bar, where you can see a variety of traditional French breads and pastries. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the macaron geometrically placed on the dessert counter. These macarons are truly exquisitely crafted, with innovative and unique flavors, and they do not catch the eye in eye-catching colors. Order a cup of coffee and pick a few macaroons for a while, or pack the lovely ones home. (Special reminder: There are also restaurants called The Little Door in Santa Monica and West Hollywood. Although these three stores are a series, there are macarons that are sold in this one on Third Street.)
Pushed flavors: balsamic vinegar (yes!), Hazelnut truffles, orange flower nuts, pistachio cherry, passion fruit, Caribbean coconut.

4. A Food Affairs
A Food Affair is Hidden Gem for many French food lovers in Los Angeles. The decor of the restaurant is chic and elaborate, with a strong French romance, and a family-style restaurant. Tableware and dishes are also ingenious, and surprises are everywhere. As a classic French restaurant, macarons belong to the Any Dessert category ($ 3 / piece) in the dessert menu of A Food Affair. The author has eaten mini macarons from chefs in the dining area and chatting with customers. The flavor of coffee is that the almond cookie shell is crispy on the outside and the flavor of the stuffing is strong. In addition, the summer menu features a creative dish of tomato macaroni and crab salad. It is recommended that those who like this dish call the restaurant in advance to confirm whether it is available.

5. Caffe Concerto
Caffe Concerto is a restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine in Koreatown. The environment is exquisite and artistic, and the food is affordable. The business hours are quite long (weekdays until 12 pm, and at 1 am on weekends), which is also very suitable for friends to talk and talk. Many of Caffe Concerto's snacks are remarkable. Macaron is also very popular, with a large number of fans, and many even give "higher than Bottega Louie" high ratings. I think Caffe Concerto's macarons are creamy and light. If you don't like the noise of BL, this quiet and exquisitely decorated small western restaurant can really satisfy your artistic heart and discerning taste buds.
Recommended flavors: black sesame, matcha, strawberry cheesecake flavor, sea salt caramel.

6. The House of Bread
La Maison du Pain is a small shop with an inconspicuous appearance, but once you have a chance to get to know it, it will be hard to become a big fan of it. This coffee dim sum shop that opened in 2005 is most famous for its delicious and delicate French brunch sandwiches (Croque Madames, Croque Monsieurs, etc.). But as a traditional French coffee shop, their pastries are also outstanding: Opera, Croque en Bouche and Napoleon are all worth trying. Macarons naturally need not be said. The almond crust is slightly thinner than others, but the texture is still crispy; the flavors are mainly classic and traditional, with less novelty.
Recommended flavors: chocolate cream, raspberry, lemon, pistachio.

7. Bouchon's Bakery
"The sparrow is small, but it has all the internal organs" to describe this house.A small counter seems to be just a branch of Bouchon's Bistro restaurant.You can order coffee and snacks to take away, or you can sit and chat outside in the sunny courtyard for a while.Chef Thomas Keller built an oversized baking kitchen upstairs. It is said that he works 23 hours a day to ensure the freshness of the snacks. The unit price of Bouchon's macarons is on the high side, $3.5 apiece, but the size of macarons is a lap larger than many stores.Macarons can also be made into birthday cake towers. If you are tired of traditional birthday cakes, you can try this.

8. Figaro Bistro
Figaro is located in Los Feliz, the cultural district of Los Angeles. The atmosphere of the entire restaurant is very similar to the small French restaurant in old movies: cute outdoor tables, windows with fancy English writing, and a well-dressed old gentleman drinking while reading a newspaper Coffee with snacks. There are also wine glasses looming on the bar, where pleasant noises can be heard everywhere, and the fragrance of fragrance is far away. In such a lovely place, of course, delicious eclairs, tiramisu, fruit tarts and chocolate mousse are in the picture. Of course, the most popular is the macaroons with natural and fresh colors. There is an illusion of returning to Paris in the XNUMXs.
Recommended flavors: vanilla, chocolate, orange, lavender.

This ice cream shop in Fairfax has become a beautiful scenery in Los Angeles-when you come around, you will always see a continuous stream of diners and a continuous line. But Milk's macaron ice cream is worth the wait. The almond cookies are crispy and airy, and the creamy and delicious ice cream cannot be more beautiful.

This macarons specialty store not only sells ordinary rainbow-colored macarons, but also exquisite macarons ice cream. The French opened their first store in Westfield Topanga Mall, and later opened a branch in Americana, known for making high-quality macarons in small batches. The macaroon macaroons are crispy at the entrance, and the filling is rich but not sweet. His family's macaron ice cream also has a unique blend of flavors, sandwiching the two flavors you love in the middle of the almond cookies, effectively alleviating the difficulty of choosing food.

12. L'Assiette
L'Assiette is a French steakhouse. The menu is very simple, except for steak, it is French fries, and special appetizers and desserts of the day.The content of such a concise menu is based on the chef's confidence in his own food.For example, L'Assiette's French fries are said to be processed through eight procedures, and there is tallow in the fried oil.The desserts here present macarons in a very American way, macarons and ice cream balls, or macarons and brownies, or macarons, brownies and ice cream.The brownie I had eaten was a bit too sweet, but the sweetness of macaron was just right.Macaron’s almond biscuits are particularly fluffy, and when you bite it, you will feel the permeability of your teeth through the air.
