Paris S'éveille, Palet d'Or

In the afternoon, I tried going down to Paris S'éveille, as I was thinking they might have a new cake, which have been rare from them, so I've fallen behind in that respect. I went with Palet d'Or, which seem very familiar, as something that I ate in, but I can't find any record of it and the experience wasn't that familiar, so I'm not sure what I'm thinking of. This is a layer of dried fruits and almonds under passion fruit sauce (congealed). I suppose the sauce and the whipped cream on top are what make it a cake versus a cookie, but I'm not going to quibble, as, whatever you call it, it's quite nice. I can say that this is excellent, which usually I can't about their new cakes. They've been playing around with fruitier cakes for a while, but it seems now like they're finally getting the hang of it.

Saturday: Palet d'Or

Finally went to the Palet d'Or chocolatier/café. Not sure of the names, since didn't have when I ordered, but close to Vogue for the chocolate pistachio and maybe Al Cioccolato for the chocolate cake with some nuts. Both definitely good and nice atmosphere café, but nothing exceptional to take me back, although the chocolates were also good (caramel, cognac, and praliné).
