Exquisite Festive-Season Desserts and Delicacies

Gourmet, Forest-Inspired Yule Log

Co-conceived by The Peninsula Paris’s Pastry Sous-Chef, Anne Coruble, and Executive Chef David Bizet, this year’s festive Yule log evokes sensory memories associated with woodlands. Its organic shape recalls the roots and branches of forest trees, as well as crackling embers in a fireplace. The log’s flavours, meanwhile, conjure the olfactory experience of wandering through an apple orchard: its crunchy chocolate shell contains layers of vanilla ganache infused with grilled apple leaf, a creamy ganache made with applewood-smoked Madagascan chocolate, and smooth apple-infused caramel.


Decadent Chocolate King Cake

To further sweeten the holiday season, The culinary team at The Peninsula Paris has created a supremely indulgent, all-chocolate traditional Galette des Rois (“King Cake”) – which is sure to delight both adults and children. The delectable dessert comprises flaky, cocoa-flavoured puff pastry; a rich almond-chocolate cream made with the finest Indonesian dark chocolate; and a chocolate ganache infused with smoked salt.

Sweets and Savouries at the Christmas Chalets

The Peninsula Paris’s two beloved Christmas chalets will return to the Terrasse Kléber, where visitors can enjoy delicious savoury and sweet creations throughout the month of December. This year’s offerings will include French toast with Comté cheese, truffle-and-Wagyu beef waffle, lobster and citrus baba, praline-filled brioche, and chestnut-blackcurrant pancakes. Festive holiday drinks – like pepper-spiked hot chocolate and warm white wine mulled with Christmas spices – will also be served.

Special Holiday Restaurant Menus

Each restaurant at The Peninsula Paris will offer sumptuous festive dinners on both 24 and 31 December, accompanied by holiday-themed music. Lavish brunches will also be available on 25 and 26 December 2021 and 1 and 2 January 2022.
