The New Bristol Paris Tea Time by Maxence Barbot
Autumn carries a certain charm, that first cool breeze that calls for comforting indulgence. At Le Bristol Paris, it also marks the long-awaited unveiling of a new Tea Time. This season is special: it’s the first imagined by Maxence Barbot, newly appointed Pastry Chef of the Palace, who brings his own poetic vision to this most Parisian of rituals.
In the hushed elegance of Café Antonia, the Chef reinvents the French art of afternoon tea with his signature precision and grace. His menu unfolds like a gourmet stroll, a journey through textures, aromas, and childhood memories revisited. The rhythm of the seasons inspires his creations, the ingredients guide his hand, and the magic of Le Bristol Paris does the rest.
Here, nothing is left to chance: the talented artisans of Les Ateliers du Bristol Paris have joined forces with Maxence Barbot to compose this exceptional experience.
Three Acts: Savory bites, pre-dessert, and a selection of pastries, served with a glass of champagne or a sparkling alcohol-free alternative.
Available daily from now at Café Antonia.
Le Bristol Paris Ode À Un Art De Vivre
As Le Bristol Paris celebrates its centenary, Flammarion pays a vibrant tribute to this legendary house. In a magnificent 240-page volume, author Laure Verchère traces the story of a place shaped by vision and audacity, first by Hippolyte Jammet, a bold young entrepreneur in 1925, and later elevated by the Oetker family from 1978 onwards.
Exquisite craftsmanship, haute gastronomy, and a rare sense of attention to detail: within this elegant and timeless haven, the art of personalised hospitality ensures that every guest feels truly unique.
Author Laure Verchère, whose previous works with Flammarion include Le Grand Hôtel et Le Café de la Paix, Thomas Bastide Design, and Sybille de Margerie, celebrates through this book the timeless beauty of a palace that has become a symbol of the French art de vivre.
