Why it's worth it

La Mère Poulard has kept its recipes unchanged since Annette Poulard set up at Mont-Saint-Michel in 1888, and its big pure-butter galette is one of the abbey's signature souvenirs. Reviewers call the biscuits addictive with a melting, buttery bite, a clear step up from ordinary Czech butter biscuits.

Taste

Large round pure-butter biscuit with a touch of milk; crunchy yet melting, richly buttery, sweet without excess
