Macaroons

[jolieblonde]

Has anyone tried the macaroons at Sucre? I am devoted to La Divina and Brocato's and have never stepped foot into Sucre.

Sadly, the macaroons at Sucre do not compare to Laduree but they are certainly not bad. Instead I go for the fabulous chocolate drinks, the gelato and the magnificent chocolates.

Good macarons for stateside, but why in God's name do they insist on calling them macaroons (with two "o"s)??? Macaroon: a sweet food made either with coconut and egg white or with a coarse almond paste formed into a dense cookie or confection. Often confused (due to the very similar spelling) with the French Macarons which are entirely different in tatse and appearance. But there's no reason for a place like Sucre to make that mistake (unless they just think Americans are hopelessly stupid!)

Laduree spells them macaroon as well on their website:

[N.O.Food]

Larousse Gastronomique spells it with two O's. Laduree uses two O's on its english page but one O on its French page. Apparently, the double O is just an english spelling. It appears either spelling is correct.

I like the macaroons at Sucre.

The macarons are quite good, and Sucre is about the only place in the area you'll find a real French macaron.

the bakery inside Roosevelt does a near clone of the ones found at Sucre.
