The best galettes des rois de Paris

Looking for the perfect traditional galette , a signature brioche or a deluxe version? We have prepared our best-of galettes des rois to order fissa for the Epiphany of January 6th. There's more to draw!

This new signature galette from the house is a bit like the embodiment of our winter in the form of a dessert: a cup of hot chocolate that warms the heart, like those little delicacies that we allow ourselves without feeling guilty on very cold days... without obviously forget the marshmallow option! As adorable as it is addictive...

Its composition: a crunchy caramelized inverted puff pastry filled with a fondant mixture of almond cream and dark chocolate. The decorations that make it so charming are in chocolate sauce and volutes of marzipan. Mmmhh…

Galette hot chocolate , €70 for 6/8 people, available online and in Lenôtre boutiques (pre-order recommended) from January 2 to 31.

It's the most glam nugget of this selection, to be grabbed at the pastry shop at 30 Montaigne : this canonical space where you think Dior , dress Dior , breathe Dior and eat Dior . This unique galette imagined by Jean Imbert and his pastry chef Romuald Bizart is a real little luxury to put on a beautiful plate to honor it (and to honor the well-known delicacy of the couturier), unless you taste it directly on the spot!

Its composition: a delicate almond frangipane sublimated with a biscuit in the shape of a wind rose , this iconic code of the house.

This year, we are not celebrating the galette des Rois but the galette des Reines ! A collab' under the sign of responsible consumption that sublimates the taste and flavors of the season.

Who else than Quentin Lechat , Pastry Chef of the Royal Monceau , and the insolent team of The French Bastards to imagine such a foordporn and delicious cake? Understand: a Cruffin XXL , hybrid delicacy between the croissant and the muffin in total overabundance of chocolate kif.

In other words: the regime is dead.

Le Cruffin des Rois , €60 for 10/12 people, available in The French Bastards boutiques and in click and collect on the weekends of January 8 and 15, and at the Royal Monceau-Raffles brunch on Sundays January 9 and 16
