Le Gourmet , our favorite gourmet address

Opposite the iconic department store, Le Gourmet has, in just a few years, become the place to be for Parisians. The place invites you on a culinary journey, where chic meets the excellence of the most prestigious artisans. Here, you can savor Pierre Hermé‘s daring macarons, Christophe Adam‘s reinvented éclairs, or Yann Couvreur‘s delicate, poetic creations. Pastry virtuoso Philippe Conticini presents his finest creations.

Maison La Durée, already present at 40 boulevard Haussmann with its elegant tea room, recently opened its counter there, offering its legendary subtly flavored macaroons and ganaches of rare finesse. Tea aficionados are also well catered for. The finest tea houses and iconic counters such as Mariage Frères, Dammann Frères, Palais des Thés and Kusmi Tea enrich the offer with exceptional white, black and green teas. Chocolate lovers are not left out. The counters of La Maison du Chocolat and Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse promise intense pleasures, from silky ganaches to exceptional bars.

Le Gourmet is more than just a tasting experience: it’s a veritable temple to gourmet delights, where you can stroll around, contemplate each window like a work of art, and put together your own basket of delights to extend the experience at home. Every department exudes sophistication and culinary poetry, transforming a gourmet break into a moment of accessible luxury, a must for sweet tooths.
