Stéphane Tranchet of Le Burgundy Hotel may not be on the radar for many people, but this talented pastry chef is well known in the industry. I first heard about him from my chef at Un Dimanche à Paris, then subsequently from the head pastry chef at Le Meurice, both of whom highly applauded chef Tranchet’s work. He started at Pierre Gagnaire (three Michelin star restaurant in Paris) as a commis, then worked his way up to become the head pastry chef at  Pierre Gagnaire’s tokyo outpost. Upon returning to Paris, he worked as sous-chef of Christophe Michalak at Plaza Athénée, then moved over to Le Burgundy as the head pastry chef. Pedigree, check.

To sample some of chef Tranchet’s work, I went to Le Burgundy on a quiet Monday for afternoon tea in their lovely courtyard.

Tea time at Le Burgundy, just like at most other hotels, comes in two options. The first is the a la carte option, where you choose individual pastries (€12 each) from the pastry trolley. Just look at this display. Wow.
