Fodor's Expert Review Philippe Conticini

This all-in-one café-bakery-pâtisserie, a stone's throw from République, highlights classics from genius pastry chef Philippe Conticini, like his Paris-Brest (a crispy pâte à chou filled with delicate almond-hazelnut cream) and stellar line of viennoiserie (croissants, pains au chocolat, brioches, etc). Don't miss the Chignon Praliné, filled with an insanely tasty homemade Nutella topped with roasted hazelnuts; this treat redefines the breakfast pastry.
