Zazzi confectionery
Posted by Ágnes Taraszovics · Jul 3, 2015

A bit of France in Budapest.

Yes, we are really into confectionaries these days, but we found another one you must know. Not just a pastry shop, but a touch of France in the Zazzi confectionery, where the counter is like a lovely cake exhibition and each piece is a true masterpiece both in taste, appearance and composition.

The pastry shop opened in 2005 in Solymár, but since 2013 it operates is Budapest, in the 3rd district. The owners are interesting in their person, because Margit Varga and MD. Melinda Erdős are a master of arts and a laryngologist chief medical. But Margit went back to school and learned the craft of cakes, and she also went out to France regularly to master her knowledge and gather inspiration for the unusual flavor combinations. The goal was to familiarize customers with these unique, aesthetically desirable and rare pastries. And it went so well, that we would recommend this French-themed pastry shop even to our French acquaintances.

Because the specialties of Zazzi are the French-inspired pastries: macaron, fruit-, chocolate- and caramel-mousses; but of course there are home-made / home-styled cakes and traditional Hungarian pastry products in their selection. Looking at the pastry counter we can’t count the variations on our two hands, but fortunately the owners thought of the greedy and indecisive customers: small and large tasting trays can be purchased, in which the most of the pastry palette can be found.

The base of their confectionery philosophy is always working with high-quality materials (from real, first class fruit and chocolate), in a handcrafted manner. They don’t manufacture old-fashioned cakes, complying with requirements of the masses, rather bring the new-wave French desserts to the Hungarian capital pursuing a self-proclaimed gastro-mission. Zazzi found its own place on the market, where the cubist shaped carbohydrate bombs can explode sufficiently high.

After the exotic, colorful and savory pastries of Zazzi Confectionery, there was only one thing that could break our distraction: there is no ice cream. Probably this is not a drama for you, but here in Hungary it’s an ingrained thing, that pastry and ice cream go together. But not here: Zazzi deliberately goes against this trend. They say: ice cream from the ice-cream parlor. So we compensated ourselves with a strawberry-moussed – cactus moussed masterpiece. It was a more than good replacement.
