New look and new offerings at the Lenôtre Victor Hugo boutique

The Lenôtre boutique at number 48 Avenue Victor Hugo (75016) unveils a brand new look, after several months of renovations.

Located between the Arc de Triomphe and the Concorde, the establishment, conceived as a chic and refined living space, unveils a unique dining area.

While chocolates, confectionery, pastries and other cakes designed by the chefs and MOF Lenôtre have pride of place in the shop – like the emblematic Feuille d'Automne or the very exclusive "Victor Hugo" (crispy pecan nut and almond biscuit with brown sugar, vanilla cream, pecan praline, vanilla mousse – €13.20), it is in adjoining rooms that seasonal dishes are now enjoyed at lunchtime and gourmet brunch on weekends.

The latter, offered on Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm (€49) gives free rein to the customers' sweet tooth with eggs Benedict, pastries, fruit juice (organic, freshly squeezed), hot drink and even, a glass of champagne for those who wish.

A tea time is also available (€42), combining an assortment of sweet and savory bites (vanilla éclair, seasonal "Schuss", buns with creamy goat cheese and marinated artichokes) and a hot drink.
