I used to walk through the Rennweg a lot when I lived here before, so I have walked down Kuttelgasse many times, but not since we moved back to Zurich (in August, from NY). I’ll have to make a point of doing that! These look even more delicious than the Luxemburgerli

Lucky lucky you. Wonder if they will ever come to Sydney. I’m guessing the answer is no :/

Kerrin…. you lucky, lucky lady! Look at all that beauty and deliciousness! I am infinitely jealous of the treasures that have now been laid before you! My pants and accompanying belt? Well, I think they’re breathing a sigh of relief that I don’t live anywhere near there!

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

My visit to the Zurich Laduree was just fantastic!! Wish that I could have tasted them all but I do think that my waistline would not have like that! The ambiance is just fantastic but a little small. I certainly would have loved to have sat and had a macaron with some expresso as I have done in Paris but glad that Laduree has a site in Zurich.
Loved all their packaging and accessories! Can’t wait to be back in Zurich to taste more!!!!!!

Andrea, thanks for your honesty. Not everyone loves macarons (I guess, haha!). You have indeed tried the best of the best – I hope at least you enjoyed the experience. There are some things that I don´t like that I would get totally flamed for, as you said. Here´s an example: pizza! haha!

Jen, keep that list open with reasons to visit (moi in) Zurich and I´ll just keep adding to it! This one´s pretty good! I know you love Laduree just like I do! I´ll let you know when the book is available in English. Stay tuned…

foodloverkathy, thanks so much! So how did those macarons of yours come out? Did you make salted butter caramel even? Mmmm!

SwissKiki, great report. The cookbook sounds fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing!

Went there today and came out with a nice box of 8 (the salted butter caramel are extraordinary) and the cookbook! It comes only in French and is indeed all dessert recipes ranging from sorbets to sables to verrines to cookies to tarts to elaborate cakes to sweet drinks. Beautifully photographed and bound (the cover feels like suede). The place is heaven and they are doing a very brisk business. : ))

Beautiful photos! I want to jump on a plane right now and head for La Duree! I might have to settle for making a batch. Salted-butter caramel is my favorite, too. Thanks for the post!

Oh my gosh, Kerrin!!!! I miss Laduree! You’ve just added another reason for me to visit Zurich (you really are Zurich’s best ambassador)! I can’t wait for the book, Sucre, to come out in English!!!!! And Laduree skin care products? Who would have thought? And I can’t take my eyes away from those lovely porcelain dishes in their customary pastel shades! I’m definitely jealous!

I’ll probably get flamed for this but I don’t like macarons. I really don’t get the attraction. I’ve tried macarons from Laduree, Pierre Herme, Gerard Mulot and plenty of others (yeah, I’ve done my research, lol) but it’s just not working for me
