Rebecca Rhomer

Trained by the greatest chefs like Cyril Lignac, Rebecca Rhomer opened her own restaurant in 2019. Called Riv'k, it is located in the heart of the Marais, a very select district of the capital. Of Israeli origin, the chef offers dishes with flavors from her childhood. She mixes them perfectly with flavors from Asia, in homage to her travels. We eat revisited Tunisian fricassee, avocado spring rolls with ponzu and tahina sauce or even Moroccan butternuts. Three years after its opening, the restaurant is still a hit and there is plenty! At 28, Rebecca Rhomer is about to embark on the opening of her second establishment. We can't wait to test!

Named Pastry Chef of the Year two years in a row before the age of 30, Nina Métayer now has her own bakery/pastry shop: the Délicatisserie located in Printemps. This chef trained by Jean-François Piège or Yannick Alléno, masters the creation of gourmet and refined cakes. We love its perfectly dosed lemon tart, its praline puffs and its delicious puff pastry brioche, perfect for a snack.

It was in the gourmet restaurant Le Pré Catelan and in the kitchens of the Élysée that Christelle Brua launched her career. Just that ! Passionate about chocolate, the one who was voted best pastry chef in the world in 2018 opens her chocolate shop in the center of the capital. It is more precisely in the rue du Cherche-Midi, in the 6th arrondissement that it will be possible to taste its delicious chocolates. The opening is timely since you can find eggs or bells for the Easter holidays. The official opening date has not yet been announced. All that remains is to wait.
