A Toast to Summer in Paris

Welcoming a breezy summer on the Parisian skyline, the most luxurious Cheval Blanc opens its rooftop garden with an array of delicious treats.

From 2 June 2022 until 15 September 2022, Cheval Blanc Paris invites guests to enjoy the warmth of summer on its rooftop garden. Located on the seventh floor of the hotel, the 650sqm panoramic garden is lush with trees and flowers. The most beautiful landmarks of the capital are in plain sight, on one side stretching from Notre-Dame to the colonnades of the Louvre, and on the other from the Eiffel Tower to the top of Montmartre. Aglow with the rays of the sun, this floating garden is a destination in its own right, dedicated to the French art de vivre at its most relaxed. Everything here exudes joie de vivre and conviviality

For this new creation, Arnaud Donckele has worked with Chef William Béquin to compose a concise and colourful menu of unparalleled freshness, where lunches and dinners centre on strawberries and tomatoes. Travellers making their way to Paris will be astonished by a tomato French toast with a Green Zebra tomato sorbet, as well as other delights sharing pride of place including Cornue tomato stuffed with bulgur “Return from the Islands”-style prepared in the bread oven, and another tomato dish with a juicy stuffing of beef, pequillos and sage.

For dessert, Pastry Chef Maxime Frédéric has created a menu where the strawberry is the delicious medium for the many expressions of the sweet joys of this destination: try the île flottante with wild strawberries and orange blossom, or the shortcake with Ciflorette strawberries and rhubarb jam.

On the western side of the terrace, Head Bartender Florian Thireau makes sublime ultra-fresh cocktails that complement the sunset over the Sacré-Cœur, creating drinks that are as innovative as they are delightful. In a nod to the Mediterranean menu of Le Jardin de Cheval Blanc Paris, you will find great classics like the Pisco Sour, the Daïquiri and the Margarita, reworked and refined with surprising ingredients. Select olive oils are the keystone of these summery recipes. The technique is exacting, the result is explosive. With a Strawberry Daïquiri in your hand as the sun hits the horizon, the whole of the City of Light opens up before you as an ever-changing work of art.
