Angelina

I spent my fall semester of college abroad in paris, and Angelina was a favorite stop of mine.

I came here with a friend for lunch and it was wonderful. My quiche was delicious, and of course we both had the hot chocolate. As soon as it touched our lips we couldn't stop smiling and laughing, it was that delicious. If you love, really love chocolate, this will do the trick.

And, if you want to come here just for the hot chocolate but don't want to wait in line (the lines do get ridiculous), simply walk to where you can buy the pastries to go. You can order the hot chocolate to go; it comes at the perfect temperature, and it's at least 2-3 Euros cheaper than if you sat there. (Although I recommend sitting there since it's like going back to the belle epoque.)

It is a bit pricey, but you can't beat the location.

I went to Angelina's with 3 friends a few months ago and we had a delightful hour or so marvelling at the ludicrously rich hot chocolate. The decor was beautiful; very french and sumptuous. the waiters were very nice too - not overly effusive, but helpful in advising us about the different chocolate drinks available. We hadn't booked a table, but only had to wait about 5 minutes to be seated. this is well worth a visit if you are in the area!

Took a group of 8 women there for late lunch in March 2010. Everyone was really looking forward to it.

We had booked a table. Taxis were late - we arrived 10 mins late - we had no table!

We waited..... and were finally placed upstairs in the corner. No atmosphere, no glitz or mirrors PLUS no menu, no waiter for 20 minutes. When we received our lunch order it was exactly an hour since we had sat down!

French fries - stone cold. Tea, tasteless and cold. No milk or sugar came with the tea. Sticky table, not wiped.

My group were let down and do not speak well of this establishment. Because of the experience they felt it was a very expensive meal & poor value.

May I recommend Laduree or Mariage Freres instead?

I love this coffee shop. The hot chocolate is to die for and is amazing and like nothing I have ever tasted before!!!

I bought 3 bottles of the hot chocolate mix back to the uk and can't wait for the day you can order it online. Certainly a place to check out if you are in Paris - hot chocolate and a Mont Blanc cake - heavenly!

Mum & I came to Paris for 1 day in October last year and this place was the highlight. Without doubt the best omlette & quiche ever tasted! The Mont Blanc & hot chocolate are well worth coming for alone. It's a bit pricey but the food is so good it's worth every penny. There are often queues so allow plenty of time. I would go back to Paris just to visit Angelina again.

I love this place. Me and my family came to Paris in April of last year. I loved the hot chocolate. The pastries were yummy too. I would recommend Angelina to others.
