World-renowned pastry chef Cédric Grolet has brought his signature artistry to Monte-Carlo with the launch of a new tea room and boutique at Hôtel de Paris.
You may have already had the pleasure to visit this summer: in July, the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo welcomed a new name to its storied halls, Cédric Grolet—the acclaimed French pastry chef known for his beautiful creations and innovative approach to classic pâtisserie. With the opening of Cédric Grolet Monte-Carlo, a tea room and boutique in the hotel’s elegant patio, Grolet brings his distinctive style to the heart of the Principality.
Named the World’s Best Pastry Chef by The World’s 50 Best in 2018, Grolet has established an international presence from Paris to Singapore. Now, in partnership with Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, he takes on the role of executive pastry chef at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, overseeing all pastry offerings across the hotel—with the exception of Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse.
The Tea Room offers all-day service, starting with deliciously refined breakfast options—chia bowls, egg muffin toasts and French toast—followed by a simple but elegant lunch menu and culminating in a curated afternoon tea featuring Grolet’s signature floral and fruit delicacies. Guests can also visit the boutique for take-home delights, including seasonal creations made exclusively for Monaco.
Grolet’s arrival marks not only a milestone for the chef but also a significant moment in Monaco’s ever-evolving gastronomic landscape. As he notes, “The Principality has a quality and high standards that resonate with my everyday work. The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is a Société des Bains de Mer hotel that fully corresponds to what I do today. For me, it’s the reward for 25 years of work.”
