Carouge, this little gem with its cobbled streets, is a true invitation to indulgence. Let's set off together to discover its sweet treasures.
Mr. Renou has created a true culinary identity recognized far beyond the borders of Carouge. In his shop, two worlds are unveiled, offering an unforgettable experience for visitors. On one hand, the pastry area, where each creation is the result of meticulous attention, reflecting the finesse and delicacy of the pastry arts. On the other hand, the world of chocolate, where the "Mac'sablés" reign proudly.
Invented by Mr. Renou, these "Mac'sablés" are a bold blend of the traditional macaron and the shortbread biscuit, sublimely coated in chocolate. Although they were conceived elsewhere, it is here, in this shop, that you can taste these marvels. They perfectly embody the harmony of textures and flavors, making each bite a unique gustatory adventure.

Pastry classes: For those wishing to deepen their passion for pastry or simply live a unique experience, Mr. Renou offers pastry classes on Thursdays, Wednesdays, and weekends. It is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of pastry alongside a "Meilleur Ouvrier de France". Do not hesitate to inquire and book your spot for an enriching culinary adventure.
Although every Mac'sablé is a discovery in itself, the lemon one is particularly remarkable. The freshness of the lemon, combined with the sweetness of the shortbread, creates a perfect balance.

Recommendation:
The chocolate fondant is an experience not to be missed. When slightly warmed, it becomes the ultimate chocolate paradise. A tip? Put it in the microwave for 15 seconds and let the flowing heart overwhelm you with happiness. Beware of addiction!
Rohr is much more than just a chocolate or ice cream shop, it is a true institution in Carouge. The reputation of its chocolates precedes its frozen delights, but it is undoubtedly its ice creams, considered the best in Carouge, that have made the establishment famous. Each creation is crafted with love, passion, and unparalleled know-how, transporting gourmets to authentic flavors that recall the sweets of yesteryear.
Recommendations:
Before leaving, don't miss their famous homemade cookie topped with a scoop of ice cream. This combination is a true symphony of textures and flavors.
Rohr’s Black Forest cake is another marvel to be savored. A delight that charms as much by its presentation as by its flavors.
Hans Rohr, the founder of the establishment, was known not only for his talent but also for his generosity: every evening, rather than throwing away unsold cakes, he would offer them to the less fortunate. A philosophy of sharing that has endured through the ages.
