A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
The METIS choux dessert is served with pastry cream. It offers a finish to dinner for anyone who enjoys pastry with a creamy filling. Ask your waiter about the portion weight and serving details.
Flavour and serving
Pastry cream is the dessert's listed accompaniment. Taste the pastry and cream together to appreciate their contrasting textures.
Choux differs from cheesecake and chocolate tart in its cream and pastry format. If choosing by filling at the end of dinner, pastry cream is the guide here. Taste a complete bite of pastry and cream before sipping your drink. During a shared dessert tasting, this lets you compare the dishes themselves before coffee or tea changes the impression.
What to try alongside
Choose coffee or tea separately with the choux. If several guests are sharing the dessert, discuss a convenient serving format when ordering.
If you have a food allergy or intolerance, tell your waiter before ordering. Ask the restaurant team about the full ingredients and possible substitutions.
