Chef Romuald Guiot
French-trained pastry chef Romuald Guiot, formerly of three-Michelin-starred La Maison de Marc Veyrat and a finalist on Season 8 of Food Network’s Spring Baking Championship, is opening a vegan bakery and wine bar at 169 West Green Street in Pasadena in early October. Guiot moved to the U.S. in 2015 to open La Mirabelle bakery in New York City before settling in Los Angeles with stints at Pitchoun Downtown and Porto’s Bakery in Buena Park. Guiot spent the past year catering private events while getting the new business off the ground.
Concept
The pastry side of the operation is called ID-Eclair and specializes in classic French pastries, along with riffs on eclairs, which the chef considers his favorite pastry for its portability and versatility. The wine bar, La Cave, will pour mostly French varietals that Guiot plans to pair with plated desserts. Follow on Instagram for the latest news on La Cave.
