Cédric Grolet launches his tea time at Opéra and reservations are now open

The pastry chef is once again making a splash with the launch of his first tea-time offer in his Opéra boutique. Here are the formulas on offer for both small and large appetites.

While Cédric Grolet makes millions of people salivate on social networks, the idea of waiting for hours in front of his store is enough to make many people cold.It's now possible to reserve a table at his Opéra establishment, to enjoy a superb tea time, offered for the first time since the patisserie opened in 2019.

Goodbye to queuing

Since August 9, 2023, Cédric Grolet and his team have launched their palatial tea-time offering, to be discovered from early afternoon. You can reserve a table at 1, 2:45 or 4:30 p.m., to devour this offer comprising a savory dish, a sweet assortment of "Fleurs" - Cédric Grolet's signature cakes, to which the pastry chef has devoted an entire book - a hot drink and a cold beverage for 65 euros per person. For an additional charge, a glass or bottle of champagne can also be added to this offer.

For breakfast lovers, the pastry chef has also launched a gargantuan offer served from 9:30 to 11:45 a.m., including a viennoiserie, a savory dish, a sweet dish (usually mini flower waffles), a hot drink and a cold or iced beverage.

While these two new formulas will help you avoid queuing in front of the store, you'll need to be patient, as most weekends are already fully booked until the end of October. However, you can try your luck during the week, from Wednesday to Friday, and hope to get your ticket more quickly... provided you pay when you reserve.

Michel Sarran signs the menu for a new immersive restaurant in La Grande Motte
"The table where it all happens". This is the slogan of Groupe Partouche's new immersive restaurant, I-Motion, which Michel Sarran will take the helm of in a few days' time. Conceived as a culinary spectacle, the venue promises an experience where gastronomy meets emotion. The Pasino La Grande Motte inaugurates its new restaurant, inspired by the world of gaming, which will open its doors on January 21, 2026. A proposal that aims to push back the boundaries of traditional dining to offer a moment out of time. A moment of sight, sound and taste I-Motion brings the experience to the table. In an intimate setting, around a table seating just 14 guests, guests experience almost two hours of immersion, at the heart of the Pasino Partouche in La Grande-Motte. Sounds, images and flavors combine to appeal to all the senses. "Each tableau is conceived as a stage where subtle effects combine to surprise and amaze," declares Groupe Partouche. Each guest takes part in this living spectacle, where the scenography sublimates taste and awakens emotion. A menu imagined by Michel Sarran Michel Sarran explores a new facet of his "emotional cuisine", in a menu conceived as a sensory narrative. "Each dish corresponds to a different mood, passing in turn through hushed, mysterious, aquatic or sparkling atmospheres", explains the group. The menu reveals itself progressively, service after service, through evocative titles such as the aperitif "Casino Lounge", the main course "Casino Sous l'Eau" or the dessert "Grande Roulette". The walls and the table itself reveal a staging designed to accompany each stage of this unique six-course menu. Light projections and sound effects punctuate the tasting experience. "This project was born of a shared desire to offer a total experience, where gastronomy is experienced as much as it is tasted. Each sequence has been designed to surprise, move and leave a lasting impression", says the chef. Single menu, €175 per person (vegetarian menu available). Food and beverage pairings extra. Reservations now open on theI-Motion website
