The story
Le Pende de Copen on the Champs-Élysées has drawn sharp criticism from creator Franchino Er Criminale in his video *Boulangeries criminelles HIT a PARIGI*. Calling it “a disappointment,” he found the New York roll “disgusting with chemical pistachio cream” and deemed the pain au chocolat “completely raw inside”—unacceptable for a Parisian bakery. He awarded a 6 out of 10 and disputed the venue's Google rating of 4.6, asserting it “doesn’t exist.” While the restaurant classifies itself as fine dining, this single reviewer’s experience raises serious questions about its pastry execution and online credibility.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
Le Pende de Copen’s pain au chocolat earns rapturous praise for its shatteringly crisp, buttery layers. The overall vibe is one of unpretentious, deeply satisfying French comfort.
“This pain au chocolat is a bit anemic. It's a bar, but listen to it crunch — wow. The lamination is huge, but it's completely raw inside. Look, you can see it's completely raw. How can you tell me this is okay? I'm in the capital of the croissant, I should find a decent one everywhere. This is unacceptable.”
What creators say
1 creator has covered Le Pende de Copen. Most active: Franchino Er Criminale
Le Pende de Copen was a disappointment. The New York roll was disgusting with chemical pistachio cream, and the pain au chocolat was completely raw inside. For a bakery in Paris, this is unacceptable. I give it a 6 minus. It has 4.6 on Google, which is not a real rating — it doesn't exist.
Dishes mentioned
New York Roll al Pistacchio
This New York roll doesn't inspire much confidence. The colour of the pistachio is a bit too green — like Hulk, like swamp green. And indeed, I can say it's disgusting. Classic chemical pistachio cream, and I don't like the pastry at all.
Pain au Chocolat
This pain au chocolat is a bit anemic. It's a bar, but listen to it crunch — wow. The lamination is huge, but it's completely raw inside. Look, you can see it's completely raw.
