L'Ogre de Carrouselberg

About

L'Ogre de Carrouselberg is a fine pastry shop in Vieux-Lille, awarded the 2024 « Best Pastry Discovery » prize by La Liste guide. Created by Stéphanie Touzet, former pastry chef at Café Pouchkine in Paris and Maison Méert, and Matthieu Buchalski, a former graphic designer, this boutique embodies a poetic vision inspired by a Flemish tale. Delicate creations prioritize local and seasonal ingredients: Phalempin strawberries, Aire-sur-la-Lys coffee, Avesnois apples. The unmissable specialty is the P'tits Pouchins—small rectangular choux pastries filled with light vanilla and orange blossom cream. The limited pastry range evolves seasonally, ensuring impeccable quality. Intimate and refined atmosphere with on-site tasting available.
