Chef Romuald “Romy” Guiot is working on a French vegan bakery at 169 W Green Street in Pasadena called La Cave. Chef Guiot tells What Now Los Angeles that the grand opening of the new store is slated for October. The concept will also have a wine bar and serve plated desserts.
Chef Guiot also owns ID-Eclair, another French vegan patisserie in Pasadena. There, he serves a number of different vegan and gluten-free sweets, including desserts in a jar, edible cookie spoons, cookies, biscuits, canneles, macrons, and more. The shop also offers cooking classes.
A fourth-generation chef, chef Guiot was a finalist on season 8 of Food Network’s Spring Baking Championship. He grew up in France and found his love for culinary arts by spending time in his grandfather’s restaurant. He went on to serve as executive chef for several bakeries in France before moving to the states.
