Feel like I've tried macarons everywhere in this city and am consistently drawn back to La Bamboche (close second is Bobette and Belle). Here's why:
Bamboche consistently has the best pistachio and salted caramel (which are my two favourite flavours) and then they always have two or three flavours of the month, which are a bit exotic and fun.
The shell is nice and firm and you get a perfect crunch when you bite in, but then is incredibly soft and lush the rest of the way through. Their non-chocolate fillings are always silky smooth and have a great flavour profile.
I know some people are only looking to flavour, but to me texture is just as important with a macaron. Tastes are obviously very subjective and what you look for may be different than me, but I've tried Nadege, Rahier, Ruelo, MoRoCo, Thuet, Bobette and Belle, Patachou, and Thobor's and none of them are as good as Bamboche in my opinion.
Bamboche currently has a hazlenut flavour with a great chocolate center - yum.
