UPDATE 2020: This app is no longer available.<\/p>\n

Former SFBA chef David Lebovitz<\/a> moved to Paris 10 years ago and has since spent a lot of time researching and writing about Paris pastry & chocolate. He just released an updated version of his iPhone app, Paris Pastry Guide,<\/strong> which documents the scene, and you can get it for just $0.99 if you download it before 12 midnight, Sept. 5, 2014 Paris time.<\/p>\n

\"Christian<\/a>
Mentioned in David Lebovitz’s Paris Pastry Guide: Christian Constant\u2019s chocolate ganache tart, which we enjoyed in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris as we decided to start CBTB.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With over 1,000 pastry and chocolate shops in Paris, David doesn\u2019t try to cover every one. Instead, he has included only the ones he thinks are worth your while \u2014 which still comes out to well over 300 places all over the city.<\/p>\n

Find the best chocolate Paris has to offer<\/h2>\n

For us chocolate lovers, the app includes 74 chocolate shops that cover the gamut from 152-year-old Ladur\u00e9e<\/a><\/strong> to chocolate artist Patrick Roger<\/a><\/strong> and many interesting sites in-between.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a hot chocolate section highlighting 45 shops and caf\u00e9s that offer hot chocolate drinks. I was glad to see it includes the wonderful Angelina<\/a>,<\/strong> which was one of the first places we talked about<\/a> on the CBTB blog.<\/p>\n

David makes it easy to find the good stuff<\/h2>\n

The app is simple to use and features David\u2019s photos of the shops and their offerings, along with his brief review and recommendations. Each shop also lists its hours and location along with a Google map, so if you’re in town, you can find your way through the muddle of Paris streets.<\/p>\n

There are some basic sharing capabilities that didn\u2019t seem especially useful to me. Now, maybe if I was actually in Paris…<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a free Lite version that covers David\u2019s top 25 picks, although that means only a few chocolate shops are included. An updated e-book version and a new Android version are coming soon, according to David\u2019s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
