Outstanding viennoiserie and breakfast pastries – worth the wait
Cédric Grolet Opéra is primarily known for its viennoiseries and breakfast pastries, and this location fully lives up to the reputation.
The products are exceptional: technically flawless, intensely flavorful, and beautifully executed. Prices are undeniably high, but you truly pay for what you get — top-tier ingredients, precision, and consistency at the highest level.
Unlike the Le Meurice boutique, takeaway cannot be pre-ordered here, so queuing is unavoidable. For this reason, I strongly recommend going early in the morning, as the most popular items tend to sell out quickly.
The laminated pastries are among the best I’ve tried: perfectly crisp, deeply buttery, and incredibly light despite their richness. Everything feels meticulously crafted, from the dough to the final glaze.
A must-visit if you’re interested in world-class viennoiserie, but plan your timing carefully to avoid disappointment.
