Asterisque

One treat that comes highly recommended is the Chou à la Maison. Its crisp pastry is filled with plenty of custard; one diner found it generous without feeling too heavy, while another noted that custard reached all the way to the base. It makes an appealing gift, but is just as tempting as a treat for yourself.

For a cake with a pronounced chestnut flavour, consider the Mont Blanc Charme. One diner enjoyed its rich chestnut taste alongside the crispness of the meringue and the Mont Blanc cream. The menu also lists Pistache Framboise, a 15 cm cake combining lychee-scented pistachio mousse with raspberry jelly. Diners who chose pistachio cakes praised their rich flavour and restrained sweetness; another enjoyed a cake paired with berries.

Alongside its fresh cakes, Asterisque offers baked goods and small pies that visitors have picked up as gifts. You can choose takeaway treats in the shop, whether you are planning a cake for a special occasion or looking for a more casual present of baked sweets.
