Christmas tea time at The Peninsula Paris 2025, a gourmet and refined tea time

Want to enjoy a gourmet and festive moment in December? The Peninsula Paris unveils its Christmas 2025 tea time at Le Lobby restaurant, a delicate experience created by pastry chef Anne Coruble, to be savored from December 1 to 30, 2025.

Let's discover the Peninsula Paris's Christmas tea time, set in the majestic decor of Le Lobby restaurant, a former ballroom where the elegant ladies of the last century showcased the Parisian art of living. Located on Avenue Kléber in the 16th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe, this luxury hotel invites us to enjoy a magical gourmet break throughout December.

Take a comfortable seat beneath the delicately gilded ceilings and sculpted moldings of this legendary room. This historic venue has welcomed Marcel Proust, Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, and George Gershwin, who even composed his famous "An American in Paris" here in 1928. It is in this refined atmosphere that chef Anne Coruble offers her sweet creations, designed to awaken the senses. To accompany these delicacies, don't forget to order the house's delicioushot chocolate, perfect for warming up in December. Unless you prefer matcha...

On the menu for this gourmet afternoon, the chef creates a beautiful harmony of cinnamon, citrus, and chocolate. We love the Givré Cinnamon Roll, delicately flavored with cassia cinnamon, which brings sweetness and comfort from the very first bite.

The spiced Fleur de Nonette, filled with orange marmalade, combines tart and spicy notes for a perfect balance.

The lemon meringue tart offers a bright and delicate freshness that contrasts beautifully with the warmer flavors of winter.

You'll also be surprised by the pine nut, rice, and yogurt mochi, a creation that plays on melt-in-the-mouth textures and subtle woody and milky flavors.

To round off this tasting in style, the marbled praline speculoos tablet takes us back to our childhood with its indulgent, nostalgic flavor, combining crunchiness and sweetness.

Each creation is a journey in itself, where childhood memories and winter flavors come together with elegance. Anne Coruble, known for never repeating a dessert and thus forcing her creativity to constantly renew itself, offers a sweet and magical experience in the heart of Paris. We particularly appreciate the attention paid to local and seasonal products, an approach dear to the chef, who supports producers in her native Normandy.

The setting of Le Lobby restaurant also makes all the difference. This carefully restored former ballroom features high ceilings, refined moldings, and paintings that reflect the glory of the Belle Époque. You feel transported back in time to an elegant and timeless Paris, where the art of hospitality becomes the art of emotion.
