Macarons, Macarons.
Sweet little battle: Who in Luxembourg offers the best Macarons?
Oberweis is a traditional patisserie in Luxembourg that was founded exactly 50 years ago and is still family owned. Their delicacies range from Merlan Fish with almonds, lacquered Honey Porc or Curry Vinaigrette to their sweet specialities including Cakes, Tartes, Chocolates and - of course - Macarons. And whatever you try is delicious and looks like a piece of art.
The French patisserie Ladurée was established in 1862 already and the recipe has never changed. Ladurée obviously is the bigger player and known in many countries worldwide. Their stores are simply adorable and their packaging is a little design statement. Marie-Antoinette, Caramel Fleur de Sel, L'Incroyable Guimauve Fraise Bonbon - the taste keeps what the names promise. Ladurée is a declaration of love to Macarons - no doubt.
Now, let's put it this way: If you visit Luxembourg you should definitely bring Macarons from the domestic family business Oberweis home to your beloved ones. Also, you should not miss to visit the chic flagship store on 16, Grand Rue and have some delicious pieces of their patisserie. But if you are a real Macarons victim, try both, but you will stick with the French company in the end. Perfect gifts for girlfriends and mothers do have their price, but each cent is absolutely worth it.
