Revolutionary Chef Pâtissier Pierre Hermé has already made waves on this side of the channel with his ‘adult macarons’ at the Pierre Hermé boutique pâtisserie in Selfridges Food Hall. Happily, he is now opening his first London store in the heart of elegant Belgravia.
Pierre Hermé is known for his unusual and exotic macaron flavour combinations such as olive oil and vanilla, strawberry and wasabi, Venezuelan chocolate and apricot and pistachio. Pierre Hermé macarons are typically intense and sometimes sharp – a world away from Ladurée’s sweet, pastel-coloured treats.
Holding court at Lowndes Street, just off Belgrave Square, Pierre Hermé brings his signature macarons, selection of fine chocolates, seasonal collections and Pierre Hermé Paris products to the London store.
The London store mirrors the sleek, contemporary design of his Paris and Tokyo stores and it promises some of the most spectacular window displays on this side of Brompton Road.
Pierre Hermé opens on 1st September at Lowndes Street, Belgravia, London.
