The Mille Foglie earns singular praise for its exquisite layers, while reviews paint the Shangri-La Paris dining experience as one of refined, luxurious elegance.
“The puff pastry looks like tree bark with double cream, one vanilla and one coffee. An intense coffee aroma hits you. The puff pastry is perfect. You taste the vanilla, the slightly toasted pastry. Underneath it's a sorbet. It's genius. A coffee sorbet. Underneath is pure coffee, above delicate vanilla. The sorbet underneath is incredible, not cloying at all. Temperature-wise I didn't even recognize it. It mixes perfectly with the Chantilly, camouflages itself, but still gives you that freshness of a sorbet without you noticing. I place it in S tier.”
