Pâtisserie à la Carte · Montmartre
A French chef teaches six people at most in a kitchen just below Sacré-Cœur, and you choose the subject when you book: croissants, macarons or French tarts. Pick it for the tiny group and the choice, at the lowest price of any croissant class in a teaching kitchen here.
Pâtisserie à la Carte has been teaching for 12 years, according to the listing, in a kitchen just steps from Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre. One listing covers several classes: croissants, macarons, French tarts, or macarons with a champagne ganache. You choose the option when you book. This page is about the croissant class, which runs two and a half to three hours.
The group tops out at six, and on some dates it is smaller: one guest had a group of four and wrote that there was "enough attention for everyone". Recipes are in English, aprons and equipment are provided, and you leave with a take-home bag. Guests report it is generous, 15 pieces in one case. Hila and Hiba are among the instructors reviewers name.
The dough is prepared in advance, and the class doesn't hide it. A guest wrote that everything was ready upon arrival, "so you just had to bake", which is how any class this length has to work with croissants. If you want longer on the folds, the three-hour chef class gives you more time on lamination. Age rules differ by option: 15 and over for croissants and tarts, 12 and over for macarons, with 12 to 17 year olds joining a participating adult.
Croissants, macarons, tarts or champagne-ganache macarons: the option you book decides the class.
Meet at the kitchen in Montmartre, a few minutes' walk below the basilica.
The chef has the dough rested and waiting, and explains the folds and the butter.
