No one can deny the popularity of Macaroons and we doubt that there’s a better Caroonist* in Poland than Monsieur Armand. For the uninitiated sweet tooths out there, Macaroons are small, light circular biscuits, smooth on the inside and crunchy on the outside made using a set of base ingredients of ground almonds, sugar and egg whites. That however simplifies the art as the finished products are small works of art, coming in a wide range of colours and flavours depending on the imagination of the person preparing them. In this case, it’s Monsieur Armand, who honed his art in his native France. The shop is a best-kept secret in Gdańsk Old Town, as ul. Świętego Ducha is a few steps back from the main drag and much quieter than you'd expect. You can buy these sweet little packets in singles or create your own selection boxes in quantities from 6 to 112.
