Ladurée, the gourmet break at Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann
Ladurée unveils a refined tea room in its own image at Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann. Ladurée offers a sweet oasis for all Galeries visitors!
Ladurée Belle Époque
Located on the 1st floor under the Galeries Lafayette Cupola, this tea room is the perfect embodiment of French art de vivre. The décor, inspired by the Belle Époque and designed by Studio Ravn, pays homage to Haussmann’s architectural heritage. The twisted mouldings, large volumes and furniture carefully selected by decorator Claudia Ravnbo give the place an atmosphere that is both prestigious and warm, while retaining the Ladurée codes. A cocoon of softness after the shopping sprees in a winter garden.
A complete gourmet menu
Today, under the direction of Executive Pastry Chef Julien Alvarez, World Pastry Champion in 2011, the House revisits its classics and offers new recipes and innovations such as the Eugénie gourmandise, inspired by Empress Eugénie. Since its launch, it’s been hard to resist the temptation of this crunchy, gluten-free cookie, with its melt-in-the-mouth center and exquisite chocolate coating.
Ladurée offers a varied selection of sweet and savoury dishes that will appeal to gourmets. On the menu: the famous macaroons (that goes without saying), pastries and viennoiseries signed by the house, and simple light dishes such asavocado toast or croque-monsieur (enough to re-energize after heating up the credit card). You can also treat yourself to a full breakfast, lunch or tea time, depending on the time of day.
Over 160 years of history
Founded in 1862 by Louis Ernest Ladurée, the company has become a benchmark in French pastry-making. A precursor of the tea room concept, Ladurée has evolved with the times while preserving its unique savoir-faire. Renowned for its daring creations and refinement, today it embodies Parisian elegance and the pleasure of indulgence.
To dine at Ladurée is to indulge in a suspended moment in a refined setting. An address not to be missed for an exceptional sweet break.
