When winter comes, we love the return of tea time by the fireside. If you're visiting the Château de Versailles, Versaillais or Yvelines, or simply in search of gourmet treats, don't miss a visit to the Waldorf Astoria Versailles - Trianon Palace.
Indeed, this winter and since early November 2023, the venue has been offering a new culinary experience: an all-Chocolate Tea Time, imagined by renowned pastry chef Eddie Benghanem. This season, Tea Time is transformed, offering a symphony of flavors in which chocolate plays the starring role. To sample it, note that it is available on weekends from 3pm to 6pm at the Bar Galerie, a venue as warm as it is refined.
Eddie Benghanem, master of sweets at the Trianon Palace since 2008, presents a Tea Time in two parts: a sweet and a savory tasting, both centered around chocolate. He explains: " This winter, I wanted to revisit our usual Tea Time by sublimating chocolate in particular, this 100% regressive product that has conquered all generations since the dawn of time. "
Savory tasting:
Sweet Tasting :
We liked the amuse bouche that cleanses the palate well before starting the cocoa adventure, the original savoury part between freshness and flavours and the lightness of the sweet chocolate part. If you like to discover different flavors, from tangy to full-bodied, around chocolate in all its forms and origins, you've come to the right place. Far from being heavy, this tea time is all finesse. Accompanied by an unctuous hot chocolate to complete this chocolate adventure, we're filled with magnesium (that's important).
This gourmet escapade costs €49, including a choice of hot beverage. It's a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere of the holiday season, while savoring fine culinary creations.
As a reminder, Eddie Benghanem is famous for his innovative desserts and seasonal interpretations of the Saint-Honoré, white peach with herb sorbet, or verbena, mirabelle and lemon berlingots. Each creation reflects his expertise and passion for patisserie, making every visit to the Trianon Palace an enchanted interlude. And if you're looking for a Bûche de Noël that will enchant young and old alike, Eddie has something to tempt you.
