The capital's new culinary destination at 6 Rue de Castiglione. In the heart of Paris's bustling 1st arrondissement, Le Meurice and its virtuoso pastry chef, Cédric Grolet, will open their first pastry boutique for Parisians and visitors from around the world.

 

Step into the unique world of Cédric Grolet, named World's Best Restaurant Pastry Chef by Les Grandes Tables du Monde in 2017, and discover his bold creations for the first time in a store. With his innovative vision, he pairs visual beauty with technical prowess to present a selection of unique desserts, like the trompe-l’oeil sculpted fruits that made the talented pastry chef famous, in extra-clear glass cases. Filled with subtle flavors, this new space will offer exclusive access to Cédric Grolet's creations, finally available in a store.

 

Cédric Grolet likes to share his skill and create moments of togetherness that produce lasting memories, so he has designed innovative experiences to introduce people to his world. His motto is, "Beauty brings them in but taste brings them back." In the boutique, a pastry chef will demonstrate key steps in making certain signature desserts and their raw materials will be placed on display, revealing their secret ingredients!

 

For this project, Le Meurice and Cédric Grolet worked with the French architects' collective Ciguë, together designing a brand-new concept to breathe new life into French pastry. From the first meeting, Cédric Grolet was immediately won over by the ambitious project created by the young team, who stepped into his world and understood his desires. They worked together for several weeks at Le Meurice's pastry laboratory in order to capture the chef's spirit. The materials they chose–enameled lava, waxed brass, Hainaut Blue Stone, and blown glass bells–bring an ultra-modern touch to the space.
