Patisserie Fouet

Summary

Patisserie Fouet is another one of those Japanese French style dessert places where they also have a prix fixe (3 desserts).

The yuzu jelly was ok. It is not like the panna cotta pictures on Yelp. It tasted like one of those raindrops that had some yuzu flavors in it. I didn’t care too much for it.

The yuzu sugar sugar came with yuzu mousse, green tea sponge cake, Japanese yam, and black sesame ice cream. The red shell was made from a candy cane type of stickiness. I wasn’t too crazy over this because it sticks to your teeth. The black sesame was definitely one of the stars for this.

When you break the candy cane covered shell, the inside has a yuzu mousse with cake and strawberries. This was actually pretty good, but it made me regret a little that I didn’t instead opt for individual desserts. The candy shell was by far the least favorite of this dish. I wish they used something else that didn’t stick to your teeth as much as this did. Maybe a chocolate shell?

The last was an almond cookie which had chocolate underneath the cookie. The almond cookie was pretty mediocre at best. It was mediocre at best.

If I came here again, I would definitely have ordered individual desserts over the prix fixe. It’s simply not as good as Chikalicious or Patisserie Tomoko. A huge let down was the yuzu sugar sugar, as the casing of it stuck to my teeth excessively. Artistically, it was pretty to look at but uneventful to eat.

Final Verdict

Don’t go for the dessert tasting. Order the desserts individually instead.

Yelp Jabs

Through its dessert tastings, Patisserie Fouet has cemented to us why it has been, and remains, one of our favourite dessert adventures thus far in NYC.

For a dessert connoisseur, I’m surprised that this person(s) hasn’t yet checked out Patisserie Tomoko or Gabriel Kreuther’s Chocolates. Their review, albeit positive, is an unrelented circular mess of words with no direction and purpose. Try hard Yelp writers at their finest.
