Café Pushkin in Paris

Café Pushkin at Printemps department store is the most exciting thing that happened to the Parisian pastry scene since Pierre Hermé started selling his rose macarons. It’s is a spin-off of the same name pastry shop in Moscow and I suppose it is directly connected with the famous Pushkin café. It sells Russian cakes such as “medovick” (honey cake which I am absolutely obsessed with) or French pastries inspired by Russia such as éclair with vanilla. Finally, if you are not so much into sweet things, you can always buy a pirozhok or two with meat, mushrooms or cabbages and have a glass of kvass (a traditional Russian drink made from rye bread). Na zdorovie!
