The traditional pastry flan is one of France’s favorite desserts. And in Paris, sweet tooths are such fans that a Flan Festival was born. The idea, by Fou de Pâtisserie? Bring together in one place the best flans in the capital, to be enjoyed without moderation. Also in Paris, a flan bar with an original concept is making a name for itself. It offers what many consider to be the best flan in the Paris region. Vanilla, praline-pecan, black sesame, matcha, chocolate, coconut or even crème brûlée… the menu offers flans in all their forms, to the delight of gourmands. But one question remains: what really is the best flan in Paris? Several food influencers agree on the same address, nestled in the heart of a Parisian patisserie you’ve probably already heard of…
We’ve found the best flans in Paris, prepared by the French Dessert Champion
These are undoubtedly the most creative, daring and tasty flans in the capital. Yes, Nèulo Pâtisserie stands out for its talent to constantly reinvent itself to surprise sweet-lovers. For Epiphany, for example, it came up with Flangipane, an original creation that marries the textures and flavours of flan and frangipane to perfection. Another reason why Nèulo is so much in the news is that its flans are signed by an expert: Pierre-Jean Quinonero, Champion de France de Dessert 2021 and winner of the Michelin Guide’s Prix Passion Dessert in 2023. A track record to match his creations.
Here, of course, the classics are the order of the day, with a perfectly mastered version of the traditional flan pâtissier. But this veritable temple of flan also shines with its revisited, often surprising interpretations. In addition to the limited-edition Flangipane, you can discover unique recipes such as the lemon tart-style flan. Our favorite? The house’s signature marble flan, with vanilla and chocolate: a real treat!
Quite simply“ÉpoustouFLAN”.
Food influencer Paname_in_my_belly agrees: for him, Neulo’s flans are the craziest flans in Paris, worthy of the nickname ÉpoustouFLAN. At Leparisdalexis, Neulo flans are also among the best in the capital. And at Paris Secret, we have to confess: Neulo has become a bit of our HQ. Among our favorites? The chocolate-pistachio flan, inspired by Dubai’s ultra-gourmand tablets, or the Bounty-style flan. Foodporn alert!
