Starring the Éclair

Gerbeaud Café celebrates it’s 160th anniversary this year. On this noble occasion, we recall the great works of Hungarian confectionery history, which are presented in the original and in a modern version as well.

From August until October we offer the Éclair anno and 21st century.

The éclair originated during the early19th century in France where it was called “pain à la Duchesse” or “petite duchesse” until 1850. Some food historians speculate that éclairs were first made by Antonin Carême (1784–1833), the famous French chef. The word comes from French éclair ‘flash of lightning’.
