Carl Marletti, a pastry chef by passion

 

The chef reveals his love for pastry after training at the Etiolle hotel school and completing several internships at renowned establishments. Under the guidance of mentors like Bernard Erctor and Patrick Campagnol, he flourishes in learning new techniques and the art of decoration.

As a pastry lover, Marletti shares his passion through creations reflecting his love for flavors discovered during his travels worldwide. In 2009, his exceptional skills are recognized when he is named the best pastry chef of the year and wins titles for the best lemon tart, best strawberry cake, and best mille-feuille in Paris.

In 2007, he opens his first boutique, marking his creations with a distinctive signature: a delicate silver leaf.

The collaboration between Chef Marletti and Le Bayadère resumes in 2021 for the hotel's reopening. Beyond the typical professional relationship, a true alliance is formed characterized by constant exchanges and attentive listening.

Chef Marletti, like Le Bayadère, places special importance on using seasonal ingredients and creatively incorporating flowers, a major inspiration for him. His iconic pastry, the "Lilly Valley," reminiscent of a Saint-Honoré with a delightful touch of violet, is influenced by his wife, a florist.

Within three months, his pastries stand out for their precision, indulgence, and a palpable human touch. Chef Marletti's imprint becomes a true added value to our gastronomic offer, delighting even the most demanding palates. His pastries pair perfectly with Dammann teas, offering a high-end and truly unique sensory experience.
