CHEVAL BLANC PARIS' Maxime Frédéric is Awarded Pastry Chef of The Year by the Gault & Millau Guide

CHEVAL BLANC PARIS' Maxime Frédéric is Awarded Pastry Chef of The Year by the Gault & Millau Guide - Cheval Blanc Paris would like to thank the Gault & Millau Guide for awarding Maxime Frédéric "Best Pastry Chef of the Year" during their Awards Ceremony on November 29, 2021.

This symbolic reward highlights the extraordinary talent of the young Pastry Chef working at Cheval Blanc Paris. Since the opening of the hotel last September, Maxime Frédéric surprises with new Parisian sensations: from breakfast to dinner or an afternoon goûter. Alongside Chef Arnaud Donckele, he constantly rolls back the boundaries of culinary techniques with desserts that are more like sculptures. Throughout the seasons, he has achieved the feat of reinventing the entire sweet offer of the four restaurants of the Maison - Plénitude, Le Tout-Paris, Langosteria, and Limbar, the restaurant where he elaborates and shares his passion for a cuisine of desire, mixing bakery and pastry, flavors from the garden, vegetables and grains. Simple and sincere, just like him.

The "Best Pastry Chef of the Year" award sounds like a consecration for this grandson of a dairy farmer from Normandy. Maxime Frédéric has, he says, "milk running through his veins". His signature: a perfect knowledge of raw materials, primarily wheat and flour. And a virtuosity that transforms pastry and bakery into authentic emotional experiences, whatever the time or the ritual of the day.

About Cheval Blanc Paris

In 2021, the Cheval Blanc collection unveils its City House in the heart of Paris, in the historic Samaritaine building. The 72 keys, divided into 26 rooms and 46 suites, as well as the living, dining and wellness areas, have been designed by architects Edouard François and Peter Marino and are dedicated to the French art of living, with a bold, contemporary spirit. Chef Arnaud Donckele orchestrates the gourmet restaurant Plénitude, while pastry chef Maxime Frédéric creates a pastry shop in Limbar. On the 7th floor, Le Tout- Paris, a contemporary Parisian brasserie, and Langosteria, an Italian restaurant, complete the culinary offer and open onto a generous tree-lined terrace with the most beautiful views of Paris. A swimming pool with mosaic waves and the Dior Spa Cheval Blanc invite guests for a sensory experience in the universe of the House of Dior. Designed by sailor Maud Fontenoy, Le Carrousel children's club exalts the family spirit. Cheval Blanc Paris is more than a new address, it is a destination.
