Pop Quiz: "Which international city is also known as the City of Love?"
On listening to this, almost immediately, your subconscious mind shall make you travel thousands of miles to a vibrant city full of minuscule buildings and tiny canopy cafes with roadside artists performing on violins and a sweet aroma mingled in the air. You can actually picture couples walking on the street hand in hand, cuddling and kissing in the backdrop of a monumental tower towering above them all with blazing lights.
Yes of course, it's none other than Paris, the capital of France. There's something about French and their lifestyle which oozes love in humongous proportions. It's simplistic and bright architecture makes the girls go "Awww!" and the guys to roll up their eyes, only to be cuddled tightly by their better halves. And this "joie de vivre" experience has now made it all the way over here to the Maximum City - Mumbai!
With a handful of cafes and patisseries in Mumbai, now not only serving French-style meals and coffee but adopting and blending it in with the bright and picturesque French architecture, there's no need to shell out thousands of money to travel all the way to la France to experience their renaissance, as these amazing patisseries are here to offer you the best from the country so popular for popularizing love.

Amongst the handful of patisseries prominent in Mumbai city, the most eye catching perhaps is the "Le 15 patisserie". A brainchild of Pooja Dhingra, le 15 has probably revolutionized the Indian culinary map with it's beyond-heavenly macaroons and Choux pastry.

Ambiance:
The moment you step foot inside this outlet in Andheri west, that French cafe feeling gets to you. The minimalist brick wall architecture, the simplistic wooden architecture and the color combination of bright colors and textures just adds up to the lively feeling. The overturned flower vases on the roof is just another beautiful addition to the bright cheerful ambiance. And right there in front of you stands those delightful arrays of macaroons and desserts waiting for your insatiable desires to make you order one. It's quiet bigger than the one in Khar and adds a more lively feeling.



 Food:
Just one word : M-A-C-A-R-O-O-N-S. Period. The macaroons whipped up by the chefs here are just too good for words. Coming in at a hefty 65 rs, they still pack a powerful punch and unbelievably good taste. In fact, just having one is definitely not an option. Better get your wallets to get a little light, as you just can't stop at having one.

Trust me guys, it's way worth the price tag you are giving it for. It may come in a tad pricey, but all in all, the price tag gets well and truly justified.
