The "Pécan" galette by Cedric Grolet
We start without further ado with the galette Pécan by Le Meurice pastry chef Cedric Grolet. A traditional galette in shape but surprising in taste. This year, say goodbye to frangipane and apple, and hello to pecan. Straight from the United States, pecans are combined in this galette with flaky brioche and almond cream.

The "Nutcracker" galette by Nina Métayer
This hazelnut frangipane-flavored galette des rois is inspired by Tchaikovsky's enchanting ballet. For this galette, Nina Métayer teamed up with her friend Alexia Lepelletier to make the crunchy tuile: the round dance at the end of the ballet, bringing together all the dancers. An invitation to share and enjoy being together.
6-person galette: 34 euros
