What about palaces, then?

At the Royal Monceau, Quentin Lechat comes up with 3 creations: a strawberry and whipped cream tart, a thick and indulging Carré Chocolat and the delicious Perle Vanille you must try. Vanilla caviar, vanilla praline core and lemon form this creation. From €8 to €10.

For the Crillon, Matthieu Carlin plays the freshness card and serves his rhubarb and strawberry with dill from Brittany. Picture this: crunchy rhubarb, light mousse and the minty taste of dill from Britanny, so good. Price: €6.

As for the Lutetia, Nicolas Guercio goes all out with scrumptiousness with a hearty Rocher and runny praline (€8) reminding us of his revisited Paris-Brest. Enjoy a hazelnut, almond and vanilla praline chou pastry in several textures.

Moving on to the Bristol, Pascal Hainigue plays the cards of freshness, yumminess and show. Will you resist the pistachio Paris-Brest (€8) flavored with orange blossom? We fell in love with the 100% Noisette – or 100% Hazelnut – that is a must (€8). And for people craving something fresh, the chef serves a minute-made dessert thanks to nitrogen. Strawberry in all its states or Fraise dans tous ses états (€12), from ice cream to the fruit.

As for restaurant Ferrandi Paris, Anne Coruble from the Peninsula will serve Vanille Grillée Glacée – or Iced Grilled Vanilla – with crystalized tobacco leaf.

In other words, as we said earlier, the hardest part is to make a choice now. Stay tuned to find out more about treats and pastries to enjoy at Taste of Paris 2022.
