Laduree, a Parisian tea room, bakery, and gift shop has an entrance from inside Harrods, or from the Hans Road outside. In addition to offering breakfast, lunch, and tea, this shop was a visual feast for the eyes, and an unbelievable treat to visit.
Best known for its macarons, we found that the tarts and sweet desserts were amazing to drool over too. French pastry at its finest! With a shop recently opened in NYC (and on our list to visit some day), it's possible to find these patisseries in the USA now. Although we passed over all the special tarts, we were eager to select a few of the macarons to enjoy later in the evening.
Crispy crunchy almond macaron shells joined together with a tasty ganache filling create a delicious small round cake (cookie?) with a crisp exterior and a smooth soft middle.
Made fresh daily, with traditional flavors such as coffee, caramel, lemon, chocolate, raspberry, pistachio, and rose; you can also select seasonal flavors such as cherry almond, apricot, cherry blossom, and earl grey. The trick is to remember which flavors you ordered, and which one is which. It is suggested that you enjoy these within 4 days of packaging - okay, no problem!

We have a macaron bakery in Pittsburgh. So every time we go to the movies, we have to stop for some! Delightful. Thanks for sharing all of these great places in London! xo
Beautiful and delicious!
So fun! Haven't been to Laudrees...to used to the Georgian, 2nd floor tea room and the food hall! So nice to have a visit through you!

Even their packaging is gorgeous! I can't wait for their macarons, they are indeed amazing. I am drooling here.
Laduree's is such a special place. Lori and I thoroughly enjoyed having tea and macarons there. Your photos are great!
What an ultimate experience to go here!
