Chinatown, Fisgard Street
More infoLa Roux is a tiny, chandelier-lit French patisserie on Fisgard Street in Chinatown, three good decisions stacked on top of each other. The glass cases hold glossy macarons, cream-filled Paris-Brest, and eclairs engineered to be photographed then demolished without remorse. Go mid-morning before the good stuff sells out, which it will, indifferent to your feelings. Just two people, one case, and a consequential decision about the tart.
'Let's just get a pastry' is the lowest-pressure, highest-charm first move in the city, and this chandelier-lit Chinatown jewel box delivers it, split a perfect tarte au citron, a Paris-Brest or a few macarons from the glass cases. Go mid-morning before the good stuff sells out, grab a coffee, and budget a relaxed 45 minutes. Claim a little table or take your spoils for a stroll down Fisgard; cheap, charming, and easy to repeat.
