Des Gateaux et du Pain

Can pastries taste of nature and humanity ? Yes. Here at Des Gâteaux et du Pain, under Chef-Patissier Claire Damon, the pastry cakes evoke a walk in nature, a childhood scent-memory, a sense of trust in one's own vision, imagination and creation. All that aside, however, these cakes are, frankly, delicious. Several choices : lipstick cake, cashmere cake, vert absinthe, grapefruit cheesecake, blackcurrant-violet Saint Honoré, caramel religieuse, an exquisite lemon tart and even a sultry chocolate cake.
