Fashion Café Pouchkine at Le Printemps


A few weeks ago I went on a day trip to Paris.
Paris is a 4/5 hour drive away from me so I try to visit it
as much as I can. With only one day, I, of course,
spent it shopping!
Avenue Montaigne, Avenue des
Champs-Élysées
and not to forget the Printemps.


While I was at the Printemps (a luxury department store),
I had lunch at Fashion Café Pouchkine.


Pouchkine is a legendary café normally based in Moskou.
It has opened up a pâtisserie on floor -1 of the Printemps.
Russian gourmet food meets Parisian elegance.


In celebration of fashion week, pastry chef Emmanuel Ryon has
created several haute pastries inspired by fashion houses
such as Chloé, Dries van Noten and more.


Now I normally save such posts for my other blog French Mademoiselle,
but the whole experience was so amazing and delicious,
it'd be silly not to share it on my food blog.

If you'll remember last year I ate at the exact same place
at Ladurée's Alice In Wonderland Tea Party.


Located between the escalators of the store, Pouchkine
has created an elegant little café.

The walls are covered with Russian decor and beautiful bags.

The pâtisserie counter is drool-worthy.
(so is the cute waiter, shhh, don't tell anyone)

I ordered a Rose Pouchkine.

From the outside, it looks like a delicate white chocolate flower.

From the inside, a pistachio biscuit with an orchard fruit compote
and a light mousse makes you knees weak.

On the Viennoiseries menu, I ordered a blueberry brioche.

Topped it off with a Café au Lait.

And, as a souvenir to bring home with me, I picked up a box
of macarons at Ladurée's macaron counter.

Top: Lemon - Orange Blossom - Rose.
Bottom: Salted Caramel - Raspberry - Green Apple.

If you're in Paris, Fashion Café Pouchkine is definitely to be recommended,
but keep in mind that this “pop up” café will only be at the Printemps till March 26.


Au Revoir,

I have taken notes as I plan on visiting Paris from the USA in May. I adore Paris, how fun to be so close. I can't wait to try it all out and of course blog it. I might even try to make the rose dessert. I made a huge one like that years ago in dark chocolate using cabbage leaves to mold the chocolate. This reminds me of it. Yum.
Paris this looks divine!!! I am so glad you were able to share your photos with us. It is just exquisite and the macarons are heaven. I am going to try making them again very soon. I hope you are well!
best wishes
