Pierre Hermé

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Pierre Herme. My first encounter with this macaron spot was while I was in Paris a few years ago. Came again while in HK and it was just as amazing as I remembered it to be. ENJOY!

The place for macarons in HK. Amazingly Parisian, complete with snobby employees who were super rude to us. Despite that, I got the box of seven (the minimum) to try out their insane flavors. Each bite was a taste of heaven as my eyes unconsciously closed and my head lifted just a tad. My favorite? Rose petal — it’s a must try.
Note: They don’t have all the flavors in HK — some are only found in Paris.
Note2: They only last for 4 days… in case you wanted to bring some back home.

In a word — I’m in macaron heaven.
Longer version (for the brave) —
What’s better than wandering the streets of Hong Kong and accidentally bumping into a macaron shop?
Wandering down the street and find Pierre Herme’s macaron shop.
I thought I’m not seeing right, this place is forever in my heart– the best macarons out there.
With seasonal flavors and all time favorites they always have the right macaron for everyone.
Took a box of 7 with some new flavors to try — and they were all amazing, absolutely amazing.
The box is given with a bag of ice to preserve the temperature in this warm and humid city, not sure how helpful it was, but it’s a nice gesture.
When the macarons are in front of my eyes I kinda forget what I want…
The ones I had — Vanilla, Black currant, rose and rose petal, rose lychee and raspberry, rose and quince, and two seasonal flavors which I’m not sure what they actually were — anyway, they were good but not as good as the ones I’ve mentioned.
It was a refreshing surprise and I ran out of funds instantly, totally worth it!!!

Soggy and too sweet, they taste nothing like the Pierre Herme we had in Paris and London. We can make better ones at home. Minimal purchase is 7 macarons, so no singles like in Paris. Cute box though. We had Foie Gras and chocolate, Jasmine, Ispahan, etc.

I revere these macarons and too bad no location in USA yet. expensive, but perfection (texture, taste) and only has a rival in lauderee. they do travel well enough to bring them back to the states (and eat right away). last for 3 days (place in fridge)
right now box of 3 for 620 HKD. 7 in a box.
seasonal flavors, often 2 – 4 in one.
