Washington DC, Leopold Kafe, Papillotte

Austrian Dessert: Papillotte, the chocolate wrapped hazelnut meringue topped with hazelnut cream, $6.50, 5 / 5 Stars

It was delicious on so many levels. A hazelnut meringue base topped with a hazelnut fresh cream all wrapped in a milk chocolate and presented as this amazing chocolate wrapped gift.

Washington DC, Leopold Kafe, Macaroons

Macaroons, $.85 each, 4 / 5 Stars

I order all the flavours of macaroons. I love them. They are delicious. Soft meringue cookies in a choice of 5 flavour sandwiching a delicious filling. At $.85 a pop or $4 for a set of 5, Leopold macaroons are quite a bargain! (especially when you compare it with Toronto’s crazy typical Macaroon price of $2-$2.50. Our dollar is at par, I am happy)

Chocolate- yes I can taste the chocolate! However, not as rich as those I have had on Nadège at 780 Queen St. W. in Toronto

Blueberry- yummy

Pistachio- lots of artificial green color but still yummy

Raspberry- lots of artificial pink color and also still yummy

Coffee- a subtle taste, I couldn't really tell what the flavor was. Still yummy though.
