(SPOT.ph) After making an appearance in Rockwell (opened in 2015, closed in 2019), the iconic French patisserie finally returns—this time, with a little more oomph. Maison Ladurée, the Parisian institution famous not just for its pastel-hued macarons but also for its luxurious tea salons has opened its first grand flagship boutique in Southeast Asia. Expect interiors in the softest pinks and greens, unapologetically feminine details, and desserts that are as photogenic as they are decadent.

Stepping into Maison Ladurée feels like entering a tea room from a set on Bridgerton, or for the cinephiles, to the set of the cult-classic film Marie Antoinette (2006)—the embodiment of European opulence. The interiors unfold like a tribute to French art de vivre, reimagined with a touch of local flair: soaring ceilings swirled with psychedelic patterns; chandeliers drooping like pendulous white blooms with teal tips; ornate crown molding; and wallpaper etched with palm trees—a quiet nod to the (our) tropics, seamlessly woven into the Parisian aesthetics. And you shouldn't miss the arched mirrors framed with solihiya.

There are cushioned seats dressed in velvet, in the most elegant shade of old rose. Look closer at the throw pillows and you'll catch the nod: soft, round, and two-toned like strawberry-pistachio macarons (which, now, we wish were part of the menu). The marbled tables feature ribbons of blue and orange that mirror the more modern swirls on the marble floor.

Maison Ladurée’s interiors are obvi maximalist, yes—but everything is thought through, intentional, and cohesive. Every element competes for attention, every element feels like the centerpiece, and yet somehow, nothing feels out of place... even if you came in wearing a ball gown, a towering wig, and bejeweled from head to toe.

On The Maison Ladurée Menu: Savories, Coffee, Tea—and The Main Event: Dessert
The strongest magnetic pull in Maison Ladurée? No contest—your feet will take you to the dessert counter, which you will find to your left as you enter. It gleams like a treasure chest, only instead of gold, it displays golden-brown pastries and pastel-colored confections.

There's a display of golden-brown, flaky pastries such as the Croissant Ladurée (P220), Pain Au Chocolat (P280), and Walnut Croissant (P270). For afternoon tea or dessert, take your pick from the selection of sweeter and colorful confections—the likes of Fondant Au Chocolat (P1,300), Chocolate Caramel Hazelnut Finger and Raspberry Rose Finger (P500 each), Raspberry Passion Tart (P450), Vanilla Millefeuille (P500), Vanilla Flan (P600), and the all-pink Isaphan (P720): a rose macaron with raspberries in the middle, and topped with rose-scented cream, (more) raspberries, and lychee.
And, of course, what would Ladurée be without their two iconic bestsellers?
There's a huge area solely dedicated to Eugénie (P155 each): a shortbread with an oozing filling, encased in chocolate debossed with the letter L (for Ladurée) that's enclosed by a laurel wreath. Flavors range from the classic: Caramel, Vanilla, Hazelnut, Chocolate, and Strawberry, to the floral and unexpected: Rose, Pistachio, and the cult-favorite Marie-Antoinette Tea, an aromatic blend of Chinese black tea, rose petals, citrus, and honey.

Then, the Macarons (P145 each)—arguably the star of the show, Ladurée's raison d’être. These are given even bigger space, with flavors neatly arranged by color like an edible Pantone chart. There are dependable staples: Vanilla, Chocolate, Coffee, Almond, Raspberry, Lemon, Caramel, and Rose. And then the slightly more adventurous: Passion Fruit, Orange Blossom, Pistachio, and, once again, the Marie-Antoinette Tea.
To the right of this (literally) sweet sight is the coffee station, designed to exist separately from the dessert counter for those who want to grab a cup of joe and waltz away as you rush to the drowning click-clack of the keyboard. Not to worry, Maison Ladurée won't give you a hard time choosing a drink—the menu is streamlined but thoughtful, with espresso-based beverages, cups of silky hot chocolate, and an elegant selection of teas.
Among the standouts are Ladurée’s Création Teas (P250 each): house-blended infusions that marry French tea tradition with the flavor profile of a dessert. There’s the signature Mélange Ladurée, the fragrant Marie-Antoinette, the exotic Mille et Une Nuits, and Jardin Bleu Royal, which you can choose from for your afternoon high tea.
Lord forbid you miss it: Maison Ladurée has savories on the menu too. Served during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the BGC flagship brings in Ladurée's bestsellers: the Croque-Monsieur Ladurée (P1,150), a decadent take on the French classic; Oeufs Bénédicte (starting at P850), served plain, with bacon, or smoked salmon; the deeply comforting Soupe à l’Oignon Gratinée (P690); and the Crab Cake (P920), with a golden crust and rich, creamy center. For something heartier, there’s the Ladurée Burger (P1,050), made with wagyu beef, and the Entrecôte (P3,500), a rib-eye steak in peppercorn sauce.
In most restaurants, the savory mains steal the spotlight—but not at Maison Ladurée. Here, they’re just the prelude. The real headliner? Dessert, always.
