As the holiday spirit fills the air, Le Bristol Paris is preparing a festive season celebration dedicated to the art and craft of French gastronomy. In a feast for all five senses, the Palace hotel will be decorated by Studio Björg, from the scintillating façade to the elegant lobby and corridors, creating an artistic winterscape in red, white and gold where traditional Christmas trees and wreaths intermingle with a majestic ‘tree of life’ arrangement on the lobby’s central table. Sculptor Ulderico Pinfildi will enhance the dining room at Epicure with a bespoke Neapolitan nativity scene. To honour the tradition of giving and creating unforgettable memories, Le Bristol Paris has curated a selection of exclusive experiences and gift ideas, perfect for spoiling loved ones or oneself during the holiday season.
Le Bristol Paris’ Yule Log Cake, a delightful gourmet creation
Debuting this upcoming season, Pastry chef Yu Tanaka’s first annual Yule Log dessert is a work of art in white and red. In contrast to the traditional chocolate delight, the chef version is composed with a smooth almond mousse and crunchy almond biscuit balanced by the pleasing acidity of pink grapefruit gel and a floral infusion from candied rose petals. The cake is topped with meringue for a delicate flourish. Yule log cake (5/6 people) – limited edition on order at the Epicerie des Ateliers du Bristol and on Click-and-collect from December, 20th to December, 26th 2023, 130 euros.
