A quick visit to Laduree in Harrods at the end of last week to view their gourmet delights for Christmas had me astonished at the length of the queue to eat there for afternoon tea. It must have taken an hour to be seated and apparently it has been that way all summer.

Good idea to visit in the winter months then for those that love their mouth melting vivid intense tasting macaroons.

A new flavour with exotic fruits and Mango and orange colour for this winter in the shape of a golden sun, a chocolate Yule Log covered in macaroons and a sweet new set of bags with a doggy print and logo are amongst the new offerings for Christmas this year.
