Ellen – Pierre Hermé Paris London boutique is at 13 Lowndes Street, London, SW1X 9EX. Store that vital information in multiple places so you know you’ll have it should one be lost theft, fire, computer crash or momentary forgetfulness.

leave the house 😀

Now, umm, outraged etc. etc…I’m, errr, just, you know, getting my coat…grr, fight the power…what’s that? Oh, no I’m just going to stand by the front door, nothing suspect in that at all.

Where did you say the boutique was again?

Krista – They didn’t mind me taking and using photos of their macarons but only in a restricted context carefully arranged and presented by the UK area manager.

WTF?

Lynne – No review planned. Feel as though I’ve done my bit.

I find it remarkable that you believe any of your below-average pictures of my macarons would meet my standards. Also, including the word “food” in your domain name, although it is known that food is a concept solely associated with me, is at least cheek, more likely a punishable offence. Lastly and most importantly I had to find out that you organise events during which large ‘meat macarons’ are produced and sold. These go by the name of Burger Monday and I can only attribute this weird choice of name to an attempt by you to conceal these blatant rip-offs of an idea that is mine. mine and mine only. I hereby order you to cease your existence as I believe that it infringes a number of copyrights that I hold.

Best regards,

Pierre

I agree entirely with you. I’m a long time fan of Laduree so when Pierre Herme’s boutique opened in London, I was keen to try it. I found all the same problems, just because I was looking at my iPhone, they immediately snarled that I was not allowed to take photos. I find it incredibly impertinent to be told these things when I’m about to spend the best part of 50 pounds on pricey perishables. I think if a customer is making a serious purchase, then they have certain rights, no? I find this snootiness intolerable. It’s just a macaroon for God’s sake, it’s not the Mona Lisa! **rant over**

But the macs look gorgeous, and I presume that they tasted as well as they looked..

Are you posting another review of each flavour and your favourites?
