Zest is the name of the Boulangerie-Pâtisserie run by Cyril Gaidella, Champion de France du dessert 2017, which is delighted to be opening in Neuilly-sur-Seine, just outside Paris. Come and discover its sourdough breads, homemade viennoiseries and delicious, gourmet pastries.

After a stint with Eric Kayser and many years as executive chef at Boulangeries l'Essentiel in Paris, where he appeared on La Meilleure Boulangerie de France with Anthony Bosson (winner of the Ile-de-France region), Cyril Gaidella, Champion de France du Dessert 2017, decided to strike out on his own and opened his boulangerie-pâtisserie in Neuilly on the outskirts of Paris, a stone's throw from Parc de Bagatelle, last February.

There was already a boulangerie-pâtisserie on rue Ernest Deloison in Neuilly, but taking over the business meant rethinking everything. Saying goodbye to ready-made flours with various additives, Cyril has since switched to sourdough bread using Laurent Foirien's flours from Ferme d'Edviliers in Gezeran, Yvelines.

We've also moved on from industrial doughnuts to homemade viennoiseries. As the chef is of Alsatian origin, you'll also find kouglof and other pretzels to discover in the store.

When it comes to pastries, you'll be spoilt for choice, from Paris-Brest to flan, strawberry flan and the house's signature lemon tart. Good, finely selected products, seasonal fruit and a lot of hard work - that's what makes a good marriage.

In this bakery-pastry shop, a bar offering hot beverages and fresh orange juice awaits you. The tea room, with its many tables, is the perfect place to relax and enjoy pastries or coffee with a croissant. Cyril Gaidella's future ambition is to offer lunch and tea time in this space, which has yet to be refreshed.

In short, if you're looking for a good bakery-pastry shop with genuine home-made products and quality raw materials, this is the place.
