Guidekin's take

Croissants, pain au chocolat and pain aux raisins made from scratch in a group of eight, rolling pin in hand.

The chef walks you through the dough theory first, so the lamination actually makes sense.

In our comparison: #58 of 89 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
