Gérard Mulot




Gerard Mulot is a down-to-earth establishment with mouthwatering selections of pastry, chocolate and a separate counter on the far side of the shop selling breads of all sorts. A popular spot for locals, the place is packed with a line for bread, another line for pastry and chocolate, and a rather long third line to pay. And, if you do not mind the crowd, there is a counter with four seats to enjoy breakfast on premise.

Tasting Notes
At the risk of asking the age old question of the half empty or half full glass, the bonbons are a bit predictable but are competently executed making for easy eating. These bonbons get an overall score of 3.25 with individual dimensions rated as texture - 3.25, aroma - 3.50, balance - 3.50. and intensity - 3.25.

The velvety ganache comes with seductive aroma. Intensity is hit and miss. There is not a clear articulation of couverture and a pronounced tannic and cloying aftertaste knock out the balance.
