In my opinion, an atelier is a place where clothes are sewn. But recently I became convinced that it could be otherwise. I'll tell you about an atelier that makes tartlets, unreal in their beauty and prices.
When I accidentally found out about this place, I decided to definitely visit it. I like the idea when an establishment deals with one product and tries to improve it day after day.
Atelier de tartelettes - this is, as the name implies, the place where perfect French desserts are prepared. Basically, they specialize in tarts, tartlets.
There is a confectionery in the center of Moscow on Patriarch's Ponds (Spiridonyevsky per., 10A c1). The place is small, and when I was looking for it, at first I almost passed by.
From the street side, the atelier with desserts looks very attractive. A golden sign with thin letters draws attention to a huge window through which you can look inside. There is nothing more to look at from the street and I want to get inside as soon as possible.
When I entered, I thought at first that I was in an expensive French boutique (although I had never been to France). Everything looks expensive and rich. Gold color is very common and it seemed to me that there is too much of it, but it does not repel.
The minimalist design creates a pleasant atmosphere inside. True, in all this "wealth" there was a small minus. Inside, it smelled like cleaning agent, and the smell was strongly knocked out of the general atmosphere. It feels like I got to the toilet in a mall. But in the toilet of the shopping center there are no such beautiful desserts that I saw.
All the desserts that you can buy are neatly arranged under the glass of the showcase. At first I thought that these were demonstration inedible samples, they are very beautiful. But it turned out that this is what all the desserts they sell here look like.
There are few of them, but there is where to roam. A variety of pastries are on the counter next to the tartlet display case. There are several varieties of caneli that are not so common in Moscow. I wonder what prices this beauty has?
The price for all tartlets is the same - 390 rubles. The cost of baked goods is slightly lower, but higher than the market average. The price seemed high to me for this size of tarts, but I haven't tried them yet. If it's delicious, I'm ready to overpay, so I decided to take all the tartlets for tasting (I'll tell you about this in a separate article).
In the atelier itself, I tried a chocolate dessert and caneli. The chocolate dessert seemed average to me. When I bought it, I expected it to be a chocolate truffle. And it turned out to be a dense chocolate mousse with a banana. I'm not a big fan of bananas in desserts, so I didn't like the dessert.
But kaneli is something fantastic. I have not tried such before. Delicate choux pastry on the inside and crisp on the outside, I advise you to try. Desserts have been eaten, it's time to summarize.
I liked the Atelier de tartelettes. It is quiet and calm, and most importantly - very tasty. There is, of course, a small jamb with a smell, but this means that they monitor the cleanliness here, although I would change the product.
What the rest of the desserts taste like, I will tell you in a separate article, but looking ahead, I will say that they are worth their money.
