A stone’s throw from the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es, La R\u00e9serve Paris offers a winter tea time with a touch of finesse. A gourmet escapade inspired by childhood memories, where hot chocolate and marbled madeleines invite you to enjoy a deliciously nostalgic moment, a comforting and refined break. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

From November 1, 2025<\/em>, La R\u00e9serve Paris offers a suspended moment every afternoon from 3pm to 6pm<\/em>, around its Signature Hot Chocolate<\/strong>, imagined by J\u00e9r\u00f4me Banctel<\/strong> and Jordan Talbot<\/strong>. In the palace’s elegant setting, this moment becomes an essential seasonal ritual, celebrating simple pleasures with rare precision. Served with two madeleines marbled<\/strong> with a melting chocolate caramel center, this duo of multi-starred chefs create a tea time worthy of the place: refined, subtle and intensely comforting<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Chocolat Chaud Grande R\u00e9serve<\/strong> is like a warm embrace: a combination of dark chocolate from Venezuela (65%)<\/strong> and milk chocolate from Peru (40%)<\/strong>, enhanced by orange peel, a hint of vanilla, cinnamon and spices<\/strong>. The result is a vibrant, enveloping chocolate with controlled spicy notes. Retour en Enfance<\/strong>, meanwhile, lets the purity of cocoa speak for itself in a silkier, smoother and more unadorned<\/strong> version, for a tender, timeless return to our roots. Each reveals a facet of chocolate emotion, between tradition and modernity, complexity and comfort. <\/p>\n\n

These creations are accompanied by marbled madeleines<\/strong>, delicately coated with crunchy dark chocolate<\/strong>, where Madagascar vanilla<\/strong> meets the intensity of cocoa. Their flowing chocolate-caramel<\/g> center surprises with every bite. Subtle, unsweetened and moist<\/g>, they embody the discreet luxury of French hospitality. The choice of tea<\/strong> or infusion, equally refined and perfectly matched, extends the tasting experience. <\/p>\n\n

Enjoying tea time at La R\u00e9serve Paris<\/strong> also means savoring the unique charm of a confidential palace, with its marble fireplaces, wood panelling, Haussmannian volumes<\/strong> and subdued lighting. The attentive service<\/g>, the rare silence and the warmth of the place transform this chocolate break into an intimate and precious experience<\/g>. In the lounges designed by Jacques Garcia<\/g>, time stands still. It’s here that memories take shape, cup after cup. <\/p>\n\n
