Flash forward to an ordinary summer day as I was walking in Chelsea I past a little shop called La Maison du Macaron. The window had a certain charm and I could not stop myself from taking a look inside. Once I stepped inside, several cases full of assorted delicate macaroons were right in front of me. At this point it would have been okay for some to turn around and walk out but I thought that would be silly and would end up being a loss for me. So I stepped up to see the selection a little closer. Nothing was labeled so I just picked based on colors after confirming the flavors I wanted to try.
To this day I'm not sure exactly what I ordered but they tasted amazing! An initial crispy outside layer and the "cookie" took on a little bit of a chewy texture which is one quality I liked in my former favorite. The cream in the middle was rich with flavor- vanilla, chocolate, lavender and a champagne were the flavors I identified. Just a great little find that I can't wait to try again.
To focus on the food, there was only one indoor restaurant at our resort and that made eating a warm, not so comfortable experience but the decadent menu ( lobster night- to name one theme) and positive disposition of everyone made you question the slightest moment of crankiness that may sneak up on you. A little sampling of exotic fruits renew breakfast options!
