Trends / Food & Drink

People travel from all over the world to taste some of Europe’s most succulent sweets. From Austria’s sachertorte to Germany’s Black Forest cake to France’s crème brulée, Europeans know how to do dessert. With pastries sold at nearly every coffee shop and café in Europe, it can be hard to know where to start when searching for Italy’s best tiramisu, but a company in the United Kingdom, Thomson Lakes & Mountains, stepped in to solve all your confectionery conundrums.

Secret Sweets is a website that can point you in the direction of a location’s most divine desserts. Once on the website, select a location and designated sweet, like a Portguese pastel de nata. The website will tell you what the treat is made of and where to find the best version. Secret Sweets even includes a fun historic tip about the origins of the dessert and includes a full recipe so you can make your own at home.

Secret Sweets only shares the best place to find the dessert in its city of origin, so for the best biscotti, the site recommends a spot in Prato, Italy, and the best Vichy Pastilles can be found at Universal Café in (where else) Vichy, France.

If you’re planning a trip to Europe, visit the website in advance to learn whether a city on your itinerary is covered by the sweet site, and allow yourself to indulge.
