The George V Paris 2026 hosts an exceptional Easter tea time—an ode to spring

The Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris is offering an exceptional Easter tea time at La Véranda from March 27 to April 6, 2026. Indulge in flavors of chocolate, strawberries, and rhubarb… A delicious experience crafted by Michael Bartocetti, Guillaume Cabrol, and their talented team.

For Easter 2026, the Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris is offering a truly enchanting experience with its exquisite Easter tea time in the Orangerie, available from Friday, March 27 to Monday, April 6, 2026. Nestled in the heart of the 8th arrondissement, this luxurious palace has assembled a team of talented creators: pastry chef Michael Bartocetti, along with two-starred chef Alan Taudon and baker Guillaume Cabrol. Together, they have crafted a collection of treats as visually stunning as they are delicious, featuring rich chocolates, seasonal fruits, and nostalgic childhood memories.

What makes up the Easter tea time at the George V in 2026?

The tea time kicks off with a savory note courtesy of Alan Taudon: a delicate tartlet filled with a fluffy soufflé of aged Comté cheese, matured for 36 months, finished with a drizzle of 25-year-old balsamic vinegar. A refined beginning that balances creamy textures with a subtle sweet-acidic tang.

The journey continues with a pre-dessert featuring mango: a tulip-shaped tartlet filled with roasted mango slices and fresh cream, paired with a mucilage-based sorbet and a mango juice reduced with a touch of mild vinegar. This combination offers a refreshing and lively palate, perfectly balanced in an elegantly refined bite.

What follows feels like a nostalgic throwback: a vanilla Liège waffle, served alongside early season strawberries known as ciflorettes, a fresh strawberry ice cream, and a dollop of raw cream. Each person assembles their own perfect bite—delicious, spontaneous, and truly indulgent.

The highlight of the tasting is a fluffy crêpe filled with Samana black chocolate from Valrhona and Peru, offering spicy and delicately fruity notes. It’s served with a scoop of cacao nib ice cream and vanilla, all nestled in a crisp, thin gavotte biscuit.

And to end on a sweet note, a melt-in-your-mouth marshmallow coated in 40% Peruvian milk chocolate slips into each bite like a whispered secret.

Rhubarb, juniper, almond: the delights of the spring table

The buttery puff pastry tartlet with juniper berry cheesecake offers a surprising twist with its spicy notes and creamy, melt-in-the-mouth candied rhubarb, served alongside a homemade almond milk ice cream. An unexpected harmony of tartness, sweetness, and richness.

Highlighting this special tea time, Guillaume Cabrol crafted a cake shaped like a scallop shell, generously studded with chocolate chips and topped with a crust of sobacha infused with buttery, cocoa-rich flavors. An artisanal touch that brings to mind the schoolyard snack, but in an infinitely more refined way.
