flan in Paris

5 places for flan in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Du Pain et des Idées — Mark Wiens, TOPJAW, Locavore Eats
  A deeply buttery croissant, crisp outside and noticeably denser and heavier inside than most, an escargot layered with pistachio cream and chocolate, and the signature loaf with its crackling crust and airy, open crumb — all of it, in his words, top-tier pastry.
  Heads up: He'd heard the line stretches well outside the shop, so he recommends going early in the morning.
• Ritz Paris — Walk With Me Tim, 조승연의 탐구생활
  Raved about the room's decor — antique clocks, gold trim, and a swan-shaped faucet — along with the Ritz branding, and praised the empty Ritz Club pool and spa in the early morning.
  Heads up: The room had a musty smell and lacked a kettle, full-length mirror, and vanity (a kettle was brought upon request); the free coffee station next to reception wasn't pointed out by anyone and was found by chance. Even hotel guests need a reservation to have a drink at the bar.
• Brasserie Dubillot — Lucile
  A short but well-judged menu of French classics — leeks vinaigrette, tartare, paupiette de veau — at very good prices, in a lively room.
  Heads up: It's a "quick" meal by French standards, so don't expect to be done in under an hour, and the snails have a good sauce but a mushy texture.
• Michalak — Lucile
  An excellent flan with vanilla cream and a hint of rum; mille-feuille is a common dessert, but few places make it in-house like this, and it tasted genuinely great
• Bo&Mie — Locavore Eats
  The raspberry croissant was as good as it looked, the praline pastry had buttery layers and a hazelnut chocolate filling, and the kouign-amann was the crispiest, most buttery they've ever had.
  Heads up: They suggest ordering a coffee with the plain croissant so you can dunk it.
