Sébastien Vauxion opens a patisserie-café in Annecy

Pastry chef Sébastien Vauxion, named Gault & Millau Pâtissier of the Year 2023, is about to enter a new phase in his career. In April, he will open his first store in Annecy, on rue de la Poste. Well-known for his work at the prestigious K2 Collections in Courchevel, Sébastien Vauxion is bringing a personal project to fruition here, while continuing his current activities.

An accessible, welcoming place

Named Sébastien Vauxion Pâtisserie et Café, this new space is above all warm and open to all. Designed to be much more than a high-end patisserie, it will feature a coffee corner and seating. The offer, both sweet and savoury, will be varied, with a particular focus on plant-based creations. The chef wants everyone to feel at ease, whether savoring a pastry with a coffee, or enjoying more sophisticated pastries.

An ambitious team and project

To bring this new venture to fruition, Sébastien Vauxion has surrounded himself with talented collaborators. Cécile Forestier is associated with the project, while pastry chef Nicolas Mormile will be in charge of in-store creations. A barista and a dedicated reception team will complete the team, guaranteeing quality service.

This organization will enable Sébastien Vauxion to remain loyal to his position at K2 while fulfilling a childhood dream: to open a place that reflects his image in an urban setting.

A chef who challenges codes

Sébastien Vauxion is renowned for his innovative vision of patisserie. In his restaurant Sarkara, in the heart of the K2 Collections, he has introduced a novel concept: an entirely pastry-based menu that sublimates fruits, vegetables and herbs, without the use of added sugar or salt. This singular style, a blend of technique and creativity, has made him one of the most daring chefs of his generation.

With this boutique in Annecy, he hopes to reach a wider audience, while remaining true to his principles of excellence and innovation. This new project embodies his desire to combine accessibility and refinement, offering a unique gourmet experience in the heart of the city. A promising address to keep a close eye on for all pastry lovers.
