LADURÉE

There is no better place at Yorkdale to indulge in a taste of luxury than at Ladurée. Founded in 1862, this world-renowned French patisserie is famous for its macarons, a decadent treat consisting of two crisp-shelled biscuits held together by a sweet ganache or fruity jam. Although these sweet confections are not exclusively sold by Ladurée, it is argued that Pierre Desfontaines, the grandson of the patisserie’s original owner, was the first person to join two macaron biscuits together to create the mouth-watering desserts loved by so many today. Guests can choose to purchase macarons to go, or enjoy them alongside a delicious menu of other pastries, sweets, and teas in the shop’s adjoining tea room. With the design for the entire shop inspired by historic France, you’ll relish in the unique experience of the French art of living that Ladurée offers.
