It's a must-have for the month of January. The galette des rois is back on the shelves of our favorite bakeries and pastry shops. But no way we're biting into a plain frangipane! So, we're introducing you to the most incredible galettes to sink your teeth into at the start of 2025. 

No rest for the brave! Hardly has the Christmas and New Year's feasting come to an end, and we’re already diving into the aromas of almond and butter filling the house. And that couldn’t make us happier, because galette des rois is just delicious! But to switch things up a bit, this year, we suggest checking out some more original creations among the finest galettes in the capital. And don’t worry, there will still be a fève. Phew!


Nina Métayer’s Galettes

With roots in La Rochelle and adventures in Mexico, Nina Métayer's galettes des rois, an extraordinary pastry chef who needs no introduction, are a true invitation to travel. The first pays homage to her hometown, La Rochelle, and takes the shape of a beautiful compass dusted with cocoa. The second represents the rose window of the newly inaugurated Notre-Dame Cathedral, featuring a frangipane with light notes of caramelized cinnamon. Lastly, the third awakens deep notes of...a quality rum, a hint of amber exoticism that transports us from the other side of the Atlantic.

The Galettes by Jeffrey Cagnes

Jeffrey Cagnes is going all out for Epiphany, treating us to not one, not two, not three, but four exceptional creations. First up is the hazelnut galette, featuring reverse puff pastry and hazelnut frangipane, along with a delightful praline, crushed hazelnuts, and caramelized almonds. It's a paradise for all nut lovers! Jeffrey Cagnes has also whipped up a more classic galette, with rum-flavored frangipane, and lastly, a galette in collaboration with the brand Cupra that blends the sweet aroma of...the almond and hazelnut with dark chocolate and brownie. Finally, the pastry chef also offers a version of the king cake in a babka style with pistachios, orange blossom, and candied orange.

The Almond and Black Sesame Marble Cake from Ginko

Since 2022, at Ginko, chef Sayo Yamagata (a Californian with Japanese roots) and chef Othman El Ouraoui (of Franco-Moroccan descent) have been elevating traditional pastries by infusing the richness of their multicultural heritage. For Epiphany, these two ex-Bristol chefs have whipped up a classic galette featuring a generously buttery, crispy puff pastry, filled with a luscious frangipane cream enhanced with almond milk syrup and sprinkled with crushed almonds. And that’s not all! They’ve also created a more unique marbled galette, with a meltingly soft and slightly sweet frangipane that blends the sweetness of almonds with the deep roasted notes of black sesame. The fève, by the way, was designed by ceramist Angela LY, who crafted each one by hand in her workshop in the 17th arrondissement.

The Kings' Margherita from La Felicità

A Galette des Rois with an Italian twist, or almost... The pastry chef of La Felicità, Thomas Zachariou, has prepared a camouflaged galette that looks like a Margherita pizza for this new Epiphany. And not only does it look amazing, but its recipe is too! It features a generous frangipane with almond cream, topped with hazelnut praline and roasted hazelnuts, all wrapped in a crisp puff pastry, and finished with little clouds of white chocolate resembling mozzarella. Mamma mia!

The Galette des Rois from La Réserve

Pastry chef Jordan Talbot will also have his say for Epiphany with his own creation made for La Réserve. What's on the menu? Of course, frangipane, delicately flavored with orange blossom and Mexican vanilla, covered with a flaky pastry sprinkled with caramelized Valencia almonds and crispy gavottes. And inside? A porcelain fève signed by Jacques Pergay and handmade in the workshop of the family factory in Limoges, all shaped like the iconic door of La Réserve. The little extra sp;: if you find a red bean, you’ll get a hot chocolate for two to enjoy in the cozy atmosphere of the palace!

The winning fève from SO/PARIS

This year, the galette des rois at the SO/PARIS hotel has been created by the new pastry chef Sylvain Lucas. He puts a modern twist on this classic, which pays tribute to the creative spirit of the hotel and to its restaurant, a must-visit spot for Parisians: Bonnie. The result? A delicious hazelnut frangipane galette that (maybe!) hides a unique fève featuring the image of Notre-Dame. A fève that will make you king or queen, and also offers you a dreamy night at SO/PARIS, adding a little more magic to the holiday season!
