Boulanger-Pâtissier Arnaud Delmontel has been awarded several impressive distinctions in recent years, including Best Baguette in Paris (2007) and Best Millefeuille in Paris (2010).

But he’s not just famous for his superb fresh bread. The windows of his store on rue des Martyrs are filled with gorgeous displays of colourful, elegant pastries.

House specialities include Le Royal, layers of chocolate whipped cream, crispy praliné and marzipan sponge covered in a thin layer of dark chocolate, and La Framboisine, a flavourful raspberry mousse confection.

Arnaud Delmontel also offers seasonal variations on the classic chocolate tart, for example chocolate-mint, chocolate-caramel and chocolate with pink peppercorns.

Since opening his first store on rue des Martyrs around ten years ago, he has expanded to two other locations.
