Angélina: a must-see tea room in Paris
Angélina is the most famous of the Parisian tea rooms, with its mythical hot chocolate and the famous Mont-Blanc, the specialty of the house (it sells up to 600 a day).
The setting of the Angélina tea room at 226 rue de Rivoli, located opposite the Tuileries Gardens, is in the Belle Epoque style. It’s wonderful. The house was established in 1903. It is an institution. It has been frequented by Proust and Coco Chanel.
Very pleasant at lunchtime (a club sandwich will suffice for two young children, croques and salads. Hot dishes are quite expensive. It’s very good, very Parisian! We advise you to make a reservation.
To make your mouth water!
The Angélina tea room is “worldwide” known for its incredible hot chocolate (very thick and creamy) and for its chestnut cream cake, the Mont-Blanc. It is true that they are both excellent and unmatched. Mont-Blanc is meringue combined with light whipped cream and chestnut cream vermicelli. The hot chocolate called “l’Africain”, is made from three cocoa of African origin: Niger, Ghana and Ivory Coast and the recipe remains secret…
People come to Angélina’s at any time of the day, for breakfast, lunch or snack.
