Prep-Cook (Laduree - Aventura Mall)

About Us

The story of the Ladurée macaron starts in the middle of the 19th century with Pierre Desfontaines, who first thought of taking two macaron shells and joining them with a delicious ganache filling. The recipe has not changed since. Ladurée is a veritable song to sweets and pastry innovation. Every moment of creation is an intense experience. Ladurée offers a wide range of classic and seasonal macaron flavors, as well as a full menu featuring delicious salads, sandwiches, soups and more.
