My wife has followed Carette on Instagram so we knew it was going to be good. It was excellent! We were there for a small bite in between tours and we are certainly happy we stopped by. First, the neighborhood where Carrette is located is very pleasant with a park across the street full people enjoying the weather in Paris. The staff welcomed us and sat us quickly next to a young lady finishing her dinner (late lunch?). We ordered a dessert (a pastry with hazelnut cream) and three finger sandwiches (ham and tuna)- they ran out of chicken finger sandwiches, unfortunately. Everything was first rate and delicious. The tuna can be a hit or real miss and it was scrumptious. The hazelnut dessert was great. Our waiter was very nice and his English was far better than our French. We will be back! As for the nice young lady we sat next to: she turned out to be an American living in Paris. She was so very kind to us all and we appreciated her taking the time to converse with us about her time in Paris. To say the least, she was very impressive and humble at the same time which is unique. Enchante!

Found this place on TikTok and it was so good I went twice. The service was amazing. The atmosphere was perfect , right across from a beautiful park. The quiche was delicious as well. I will come back, mark my words.

Fast to get a seating outside. The waiter knew we came for the pastries and chocolat chaud (a hefty 12 euros ~ 13 USD). The menu was a bit confusing and the specials across the walls of the interior and exterior weren't on the menu. (Missed out on some dishes we would have tried). The hot chocolate was great, however, it is something I would experience once with this price tag. Additionally, I wish the croissant was heated up. Super cute spot near a gorgeous park!

Stopped in for an afternoon snack before an appointment, luckily just as the rain started. Ordered the famous hot chocolate, 10/10 as expected, an order of fries and the ham & cheese sandwich. With a side of mayo, some salt and pepper, those fries were out of this world! Mayo with with sandwich was 10/10 as well! Skip the hyped Trocadéro location if you're not needing pics for your social media, come here to get in fast and eat yummy food!

Came here for the famous hot chocolate and it was worth the visit! Super rich in flavor and the whipped cream was a plus but definitely wasn't needed honestly, the hot chocolate was great by itself. Their croissants and sweets were yummy as well and there was only a little bit of a wait when walking in

Who knew a plate of scrambled eggs can be that good? This restaurant is really popular and I had an amazing and filling meal here. Thankfully, when we arrived there wasn't a line but still had to wait about 5 mins. A line quickly formed behind us - we got lucky! I ordered the scrambled eggs with ham and it was delicious. It was cooked to perfection and it was so creamy. They ran out of croissants so I had to settle for the chocolate pastry roll. It was still good. I also wanted to try the onion soup so I got that as well to share. And of course I had to order the hot chocolate. It is a must! It's so rich and chocolately. It wasn't too sweet and was perfect with the cream that it came with. Don't miss out on trying Carette when in Paris. :)

Loved that I could get a hot chocolate and delicious French pastries 9 pm at night from Carette! I was staying in a hotel not too far from here, so when the late night munchies hit around 8:30, I looked for patisseries that were still open nearby and to my surprise, came across Carette. My friend and I made it by 9 and opted to sit outside as it was a nice day out. There was no wait this late at night. They have a full menu of food and drinks, but I knew what I was here for... the hot chocolate and some pastries! The hot chocolate with whipped cream (chocolat Carette) is the popular thing to get here, but because it was late night, I opted to skip the whipped cream and got just the regular hot chocolate for $10. Our server also went over the pastries they had left, and one of their monthly pastries sounded amazing with strawberry cream, so I got that. I really enjoyed both my drink and the pastry. The hot chocolate tasted very rich and chocolate-y and wasn't nearly as thick as the hot chocolate from Angelina. I preferred this hot chocolate more as it felt like an actual drink. The portion is pretty large too, definitely enough for two people to share. The strawberry cream pastry (called chou hibiscus according to my receipt) was really good as well. The cream inside went well with the strawberry jam and the breaded section. It was light and perfect for a late night snack! My friend got a tea called the blanc and enjoyed sipping away at it.

What is a trip to Paris without some hot chocolate? I visited Carette for this reason but I also had some food that was quite tasty. I stopped by right when it opened on Sunday morning because I wasn't sure if it was going to be busy. There were a few parties but we were seated right away. I recommend sitting outside because there's a nice park in front of the restaurant so there's a good calm vibe out there. The hot chocolate was perfect. They bring it to you in a container and pour it out in front of you. You can probably get two cups of hot chocolate from that container but it's for a single person. They won't give you two cups to share it even though it's totally shareable. It comes with fresh crème and it's a must to mix in there. I was very pleased with my very first Parisian hot chocolate. Make sure to order a croissant to dip in there. I also had the quiche lorraine which has egg and bacon. It was the perfect savory item to balance out the sweet hot chocolate. My husband had a crepe with honey that he enjoyed. The honey came in a small personal glass jar, which was a cute touch.
