Near H’s office in the 15e, a new pastry shop Panade is opened end of October, by the hyperactive Top Chef ex-candidate, Merouan Bounekraf.
Burratarte (savoury) 10€
Vegetable tart with dried tomato, carrot, radish…
Tartruffle (savoury) 12.5€
Mushroom tart with soft boiled egg and truffle
Tartuccino 7.5€
Sweet hazelnut paste, creamy coffee, sponge finger biscuit, orange blossom whipped ganache, coffee praline
Strong flavour of cafe, which I appreciated. I found the coffee praline (using bits of crashed coffee grain) a bit disturbing, I think a finer texture would be interesting.
Lemon marshmallow tart 7.5€
Sweet almond paste, lemon confit, madeleine cookie, lemon thyme cream and marshmallow
Tart taste, which I preferred, I found the madeleine insert a bit too thick. The marshmallow was cute.
Palmito 1.70€
Giant Palmier
I found everything was good, much better than an average neighbourhood pastry shop. On the whole, I find the price a bit excessive, especially for savoury tarts. I would like to try the viennoiseries next time.
