Tapisserie

Bertrand Grébaut and Théophile Pourriat opened Tapisserie on rue de Charonne in 2021 partly because diners at their Clamato kept asking to buy its maple-syrup tart to take home.1

Why go

Grébaut and Pourriat already ran Septime and Clamato, their seafood restaurant, on the same block. Grébaut told David Lebovitz in 2021 that the two had both become parents and were more tuned in to sweets.1 Grébaut died in July 2026, at forty-four.7 Fanny Payre, who had worked at Septime and at D'Une Île, their inn in Normandy, was the pastry chef when the shop opened. Time Out's April 2026 list of the best bakeries in Paris put Tapisserie first and named her as chef.1 2

Come for the chou à la flouve (a cream puff), filled with cream infused with flouve, a grass that Lebovitz found scented like hay. He wrote in 2021: I don't think I'll ever tire of the earthiness of the hay flavor, especially when it's as spot-on as it is in the creamy choux puffs at Tapisserie.1 Le Fooding's critic in January 2022 described an ultra-silky cream infused with hay, which has caused more than one customer's knees to buckle in delight (€2 each).3 The maple tart from Clamato, known there as La Clamatarte, was a wonder of maple syrup caramel, crispy pâté sucrée, and crème chantilly to Lebovitz in 2021.1

Tatiana and Katia Levha, the sisters behind Double Dragon and Le Servan, told the MICHELIN Guide in January 2023: We usually go to Tapisserie, the pastry shop of One Star and Green Star Septime. They have the best lemon tart and also one of the best galette des roi.4

Order this / avoid

Order: the vanilla flan and the apple tart. Time Out Paris, April 2026: Chef Fanny Payre's vanilla flan and apple tart are both rustic and delicious, as are the fontainebleau.2
Order: the lemon tart, the Levha sisters' pick (2023).4
Order: the kouign-amann, a buttery, brittle, caramelized pastry. David Lebovitz, 2021: remarkably on the lighter side, more cake-like than rich-and-flaky.1
Order: the blackcurrant tart in its season. David Lebovitz, summer 2021: On the edge of almost being almost too-tart, these tartes are just right.1

What locals & experts say

Barney O'Kane, a chef, to Service95 (captured August 2024): It's down the street, so its baked goods are best enjoyed after putting your name on the list for Clamato.5
Time Out Paris, April 2026, on the baking: it uses organic, stone-ground flours with character, local creameries and fair trade sourcing.2

Good to know

When to go: Le Fooding wrote in 2022 that the viennoiserie comes out at 8:30 and the Clamatarte and the other tarts between 11am and noon.3
Carry the maple tart flat. Lebovitz, 2021: the filling is quite coulante (runny) so it's not something you can eat on the go.1
Days: open every day on Time Out's April 2026 card. Lebovitz had it shut on Monday in 2021, so check before a Monday visit.2 1
The other shop: Tapisserie Rive Gauche, at 16 avenue de La Motte-Picquet in the 7th, has a terrace and savory plates (Time Out, 2022).6
Getting there: Métro Charonne.2

Verdict

should-visit — Go to Tapisserie for the chou filled with hay-scented cream, the maple-syrup tart from Clamato and the lemon tart the Levha sisters called the best in 2023. Lebovitz found the maple tart's filling too runny to eat on the go in 2021.
