Pierre-Jean Quinonero
Le Burgundy Paris
Paris, France
Not yet 30 and with just over a year at Le Burgundy Paris, Pierre-Jean Quinonero is today’s go-to pastry chef for Parisians with a sweet tooth. Take afternoon tea under Le Burgundy’s glass ceiling, or save space at the end of dinner at Le Baudelaire. At “tea time”, Quinonero offers exquisitely executed favorites such as Paris-Brest and apple and cinnamon tatin. At dinner, his creations become more theatrical, from hazelnut, saffron and lime to a chocolate dish with black cardamom and oabika, the little-used cocoa juice extracted from the pulp. Quinonero is from Auvergne and grew up in a food-loving family. He credits his French and Spanish grandmothers for inspiring his career, which he has honed at Chateau de Ferrieres and the Four Seasons George V.
