To celebrate Epiphany, Nicolas Jaulmes, our head pastry chef, reinterprets the traditional galette des rois into an exceptional creation, at the crossroads of art and gourmandise.\nUnder the guise of a book, the galette is revealed as a bold, poetic trompe-l'oeil.\Inspired by the elegant motifs of the Ruhlmann staircase, its decoration extends the Art Deco aesthetic emblematic of the place, while the puff pastry, meticulously worked to the point of illusion, reveals a delicate and perfectly mastered frangipane, a subtle composition where the lightness of the crunch contrasts with the melting sweetness of the almond.\nThis creation fully reflects the spirit of Drouant, where gastronomy and literature have been in dialogue for over a century.

To celebrate the festive season, Nicolas Jaulmes, the restaurant's head pastry chef, proposes a Bûche de Noël in which finesse and gourmandise meet in gentle harmony.\nThis creation sublimates Boskoop apple, buckwheat and salted butter caramel, combined with a hazelnut crunch and a chocolate cookie delicately soaked in apple.\nDelicate and refined flavors, brought together in a perfectly balanced and profoundly generous log.\As its signature, the log is adorned with chocolate shells in the shape of a madeleine, the House's emblematic delicacy, enclosing little surprise treats.Both a temple to French letters and an emblem of grand bourgeois cuisine, Drouant elegantly combines its rich past with a resolutely forward-looking present.This log thus embodies tradition and modernity, for a creation that is both symbolic and delicious.
