I’m already making a list of places to go when this is all over. And the top of my list is a return to Paris, and no trip is complete without a stop at Angelina. A full service tearoom, Angelina is world famous for the best hot chocolate in the world, and some of the most delectable pastries. Located at 226 Rue de Rivoli, across from the Tuileries Gardens, it’s a perfect stop after a stroll through the manicured lawns. Housed in a beautiful Belle Époque building it is a feast for the eyes as well. From their website:
“ In 1903, the confectioner Anton Rumpelmayer founded Angelina with his son René, a tea house at No.226, Rue de Rivoli, named after his daughter-in-law. The location’s charm and the Rumpelmayer’s skill and expertise with pastries quickly made Angelina the place to be amongst the elite. Proust, Coco Chanel and the biggest French fashion designers gathered in the famous tearoom.”
