For those addicted to trendy addresses and lovers of Maxime Frédéric 's creations - the Café "Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton" is the must-visit address for gourmands in the fashion capital! In an elegant setting above the LV Dream exhibition, just opposite La Samaritaine, the café treats you to monogrammed sweet creations and an exclusive new savory menu, imagined by the multi-talented Pastry Chef. After touring thefree exhibition highlighting the House's historic and innovative creations, treat yourself to an enchanted interlude at Café Louis Vuitton, in the heart of Paris.
Maxime Frédéric, current 3-star pastry chef at Cheval Blanc, who has worked with Cédric Grolet at Le Meurice and at the Four Seasons Georges V, has been named Gault & Millau Pastry Chef of the Year 2022. It goes without saying that his great talent is recognized and well worth the detour. While you could already enjoy some of his creations at Le Limbar, Plénitude or Le Tout Paris, you can now go along the street to the Café Louis Vuitton. There, in a lush tropical garden setting, surrounded by bay windows overlooking the Seine and the Samaritaine, the address offers a prime view of Paris.
For the first time and in homage to his Norman origins, the Pastry Chef unveils his new savory lunch menu, exclusively for Café Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton. The dishes, delicious tributes to French tradition and the richness of the local terroir, complement the Pastry Chef's exquisite dessert menu. Illustrating the House's expertise in excellence, this tempting menu is designed for sharing, as is a brunch to be discovered every day from 12pm to 3pm by reservation (savory menu only).
Our lunch opens with a stylish, crispy waffle adorned with the Fleur de Monogram, which can be topped with lemon tzatziki or caviar - a real treat!
This is followed by the egg collection, three recipes made from the colorful eggs of rare hens from Maxime Frédéric's family farm. The eggs - plain, chanterelle and truffled - are accompanied by a brioche and monogrammed mouillette, to be dipped without moderation in the egg ceramic to collect the candied yolk at the bottom. Regressive and so much fun!
Meanwhile, a sublime bread trolley, made like a unique trunk, invites itself to our table to offer us 4 varieties, each as tempting as the next: cereal, gluten-free, ...
Then a delicate tartlet with a checkerboard pattern, garnished with lobster and fresh vegetables, makes its entrance. And let's not forget the light, silky monogrammed ravioli with shellfish or ricotta. All these bold dishes reveal Maxime Frédéric's sophisticated finesse, sublimated by Louis Vuitton tableware.
On the pastry side, an exclusive selection of sweets, as exquisite as they are elegant, offer a symphony of flavors with nostalgic notes. Irresistible!
The dessert menu, which changes with the seasons, currently features a precious lemon meringue pie, not forgetting the must-try items - the cloud-sweetvanilla entremet, the woody chocolate from Peru and Vietnam, and the hazelnut praline buckwheat - which will make you melt with pleasure.
And, of course, there's no getting away from the chocolate! The chef, who has become a master in the art of working with chocolate, offers us assortments of chocolates inspired by Louis Vuitton codes, in emblematic cases. Animated creations and gourmet treats to offer or to treat yourself!
Alongside, the boutique is a treasure trove of mythical and often exclusive pieces, from trunks totableware, accessories and the famous city guides. There's even an altar dedicated to the adventures of Vivienne, Louis Vuitton's mascot: Vivienne à la plage, Vivienne se marie, Vivienne astronaute, ... So cute!
