Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris and its Michelin-starred restaurant, Il Carpaccio, present their Easter 2024 creation. This year, a collection of three exceptional Easter eggs has been created in collaboration with Chefs Oliver Piras and Alessandra Del Favero, inspired by the work of Italian artist Lino Tagliapietra.

How about a change from the traditional Easter egg? This year at the Royal Monceau Raffles Paris, it's not the Pastry Chef, but Chefs Oliver Piras and Alessandra Del Favero from the Michelin-starred Il Carpaccio restaurant, who unveil their chocolate creation. And as you'd expect, it's bound to have a touch of Italy about it.

To impress us, the Italian chefs are inspired by the work of Italian artist Lino Tagliapietra. His Murano glass sculptures, known for their delicacy and free forms, serve as the muse for this exclusive pastry offering, offering a fusion of visual art and gustatory pleasures.

The collection is particularly inspired by Tagliapietra's Dinosaur series, evoking the drama and precision of glassblowing. The chocolate interpretation pays tribute to this technique with the most graphic eggs. Premium Italian ingredients, such as Amalfi lemon, Piedmont hazelnut and Bronte pistachio, enrich these creations, highlighting the richness of Italian flavors.

The eggs, presented on a chocolate base, feature a double shell of couverture chocolate, filled with praline or confit. The first shell, in 56% Pure Venezuela dark chocolate, contains a coffee praline with fleur de sel. The second egg, in a 42% Madagascar shell, celebrates Amalfi lemon with a peel confit, and the third, in 66% Pure Venezuela chocolate, offers a Bronte pistachio praline, revealing intense notes and a caramel finish.
