We are thrilled and so proud to be named "Best New French Bakery" by Thrillist's 2015 Best of Charlotte Awards. We couldn't have done it without the support of our loyal customers and for this we thank you! Merci mille fois! Chef's response to learning the good news? "Champagne, everyone! Champagne!"   Read Thrillist's Best of Charlotte 2015 Awards Here! Galettes des Rois, or King's Cakes, are delicacies that generally turn up all over the world in the period between Epiphany and Mardi Gras, otherwise known as the Carnival season. The cakes vary from country to country but, luckily for us, the most popular French version (a delicate puff pastry-almond cream confection called a "Pithivier") originated mere kilometers from where Chef Sylvain is from in the city of Pithiviers! Charlotte can now enjoy basically zero degrees of separation from the real thing. Call to order your Galette today! Each King's Cake contains a collectible porcelain French "fève" that determines the King or Queen and comes with a crown for the winner. Be sure to catch Chef Sylvain on WBTV on Saturday, February 6th at 7:20 AM! He will be showing his authentic Galettes des Rois and sharing the story of the French King's Cake! Don't miss it!
