I stumbled into it searching for Peclard. My aunt from Zurich brought me a box of macarons. It's so heavenly. She usually brings the luxemburgli from Sprungli but now I'm a Peclard convert! I haven't been to Zurich in 5 years. Will definitely add this exciting shop to my list! Thank you!! I love your site! I stumbled into it searching for Peclard.

(So come on over!) With a French pastry chef at the helm, you can be sure of that. Meanwhile, I don't think I have ever seen a mille-feuille with jam in between the layers. I am awfully curious now though...! Scribetrotter, no jam in that mille-feuille, I assure you. (So come on over!) With a French pastry chef at the helm, you can be sure of that.

I seem to spy a photo of a mille-feuilles, just above your Fleur de Sel photo... and it looks suspiciously French, which is a major relief. I love mille-feuilles, but one of my beefs in Switzerland is that they add a thin layer of red (strawberry?) jam between one of the layers. Sacrilegious! The mille-feuille is a delicate balance of creme anglaise and pate feuilletee (sorry, no accents on this keyboard) and that splash of jam completely unbalances what was once a perfect dessert... so if this mille-feuille is jam-free, it might be worth a special trip to Zurich! :-) Hmmm… I seem to spy a photo of a mille-feuilles, just above your Fleur de Sel photo… and it looks suspiciously French, which is a major relief.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. You should have no problem getting the Intense there... that is, unless I beat you to it! :) Eileen, a visit to Zurich is a must for you ? if not just to see the Zuber wallpaper at Péclard. Yes it is indeed Zuber (design: Eldorado) from Rixheim in Alsace. I spoke with Martin, the manager who said the following: "It is particularly nice at the Schober as you can admire it in its integrity, even with the beautiful blue sky as the ceiling is very high, no windows or cut outs etc." Must be such fun tracing your family history - whichever side of the French/German border it falls!! Jen, haha, courtside privileges indeed! Up close and personal with those cakes! Thanks for the great comment. Uncle Beefy, you are SO right. I'll have to give Herr Péclard a call later! Old shipping crates and folding chairs - just making a note of that, ok, got it. ;) Steve, thanks! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

The stunning ornate cabinetry, gorgeous grey wallpaper, and charming details. Why not just stacks of old shipping crates and a few folding chairs? Maybe Zurich isn't that classy just yet! ;) I swear I almost cried when I saw the first pic alone....SO beautiful! Sigh. I just popped a button looking at the beautiful pastries. Sigh...again. Happy, happy, joy, joy. (Aside from the fact that it is so far away from me.) :) Well, I think they need to redo the place, Kerrin…. don’t you?

But wow! What a gorgeous place Peclard is! It looks like you got courtside privileges, too! Wonderful photos and telling of Peclard's luxurious patisserie. Bravo! Jen Hi Kerrin,

I really need to think about visiting Zurich. This place is incredible. Is it Zuber wallpaper from Alsace on the walls of the Coffeehouse? It's my maiden name and I have done extensive research hoping to find my great-grandparents had a connection to the French Zubers (I hoped to find that I am French and that would explain my over-the-top love affair with that country), but found instead that we were right across the border in Germany.
