115 foodies rated 5- Awesome! I would recommend it!
145 foodies rated 4- I love it!
106 foodies rated 3- We had a good time.
  46 foodies rated 2- It is OK.
  10 foodies rated 1- Thanks, but it could be better.

I like macarons that are executed well– with a smooth glossy shell, crispy feel on the first bite, chewy as you eat along, and with the flavors exploding in your mouth.  

My top  French Macarons in Manila are Lusso’s Macarons,  Empire Macarons, and Christa’s Kitchen Macarons.

I personally like Empire’s Pistacchio. Some foodies recommend the Chili Choco and Salted Caramel flavors.

The Story of Empire French Macarons:
by Georgia Rocha

I started Empire in 2008 because I love to bake. My specialty, macarons, came from the prodding of my husband who was so fond of them and, together, we discovered a suitable recipe and created the different flavors we have now. Empire is a home-based business, and proudly boasts of using the traditional method of macaron-making. We also offer souvenir packages, macaron towers, and macaron cakes.
