The restaurant Les Confidences, which draws inspiration from the Japonisme movement that gained popularity in the 19th century, combines a light sea-green color with glossy black tables in an outdoor winter garden. The theme extends over to the food, as Chef Michele Fanciullo serves up flavorful, nutritious, and light seasonal dishes. For classic Parisian pastries, head to Le goûter du San Régis. Chef Jessica Prealpato, who was crowned “World’s Best Pastry Chef” by World’s 50 Best and “Pastry Chef of the Year” by the Gault & Millau guide in 2019, created the “French goûter,” a famous French pastry. Using ancient flours, raw sugars, and unidentified plants, herbs, and flowers are characteristics of the Cheffe pastry-making method.
