They have some lockers up front for your belongings and a coat rack. Our guests were late. The ladies let us in to a waiting area where they had snacks and coffee/tea. We hung out on the couches. The chef was so kind as to wait to start the class for us and she even stayed late so we had our full class time. Wow. We made croissants and other pastries. The recipes were given to us via QR code at the end of the class. We were able to ask questions throughout. Chef was making jokes and making sure everyone was pulling their weight. In the end, she created a gorgeous table scape of our items and even organized them as to who made what. We worked in teams and I think the lady team items looked better than the guy team items. Haha. Everything tasted good though! Chef opened a bottle of champagne for us at the end and we drank and ate. We took everything home in large paper bags to savor again. The class was so fun and very safe. It was worth every penny. In fact just being on their email list is worth it. They have wonderful emails with recipes!

The experience started with shopping at the local market, which was such a fun and authentic way to…read morelearn about French ingredients and culture. Fabrice is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about food. He encouraged us to step outside our comfort zones and try new things, which made the experience even more memorable. A couple of things to know before you go: there is quite a bit of standing throughout the class, and there is a TON of food. Seriously--skip breakfast that morning because you'll be enjoying a generous meal by the end! The only downside was that our class was combined with another family whose dynamic was quite different from ours, but that didn't take away from the quality of the experience itself. Overall, this was a wonderful way to spend a day in Paris. We learned so much, enjoyed incredible food, and created great memories. I would absolutely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and authentic Parisian experience.

The class was held in French and i was the only student who did not speak it so they gave me an interpreter who professionally translated everything our teacher was saying. Speaking of the teacher, he was very friendly, engaging and skilled . Their kitchen is huge and really well equipped. Our class i think lasted about three hours and it was pure joy. We made two kinds of very tasty ice-cream. The process was rather complicated but it was very well explained, not rushed and it was just fun. We also made meringue, sauce and some edible decor to go with the ice-cream. Of course at the end of the class we ate our creations. It tasted really good. They gave us the recipe and step-by-step instructions to take home. I would give this place ten stars. I will definitely attend more classes at the Ritz when i visit Paris next time.

This cooking…read moreschool is extraordinary and the two ladies that guided us through the day were very friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of the food, cooking method and presentation. Never are you in such a position to cook this way yet I was able to bring lessons home to our own kitchen. The day started with meeting the concierge who guided us 'behind closed doors' and into the depths of the Ritz. Surprisingly, the back of house is quite nice and took me by surprise. We met our two chefs in a good size room adjacent to the main kitchen. The lesson room included a full kitchen, a large prep table, selves full of dry goods and china, and a large dinning table. From the first moment we started preparing courses and learning about every step. Wine and small dishes (we prepared) were served throughout the day. Finally, my group and our two chefs sat down for a lovely meal and interesting conversation (in English). A great experience.

I really like BHV Atelier des Chefs :) I initially preferred the other ones, but after going here…read morethree times in a row, I can't help but like it more. Once you figure out exactly where it is (all the way to the back, on the 3eme etage), it's much more fun. (I got lost the first few times, trying to look for the exact address - all you have to do is get off at the Hotel de Ville stop, go out the exit "Hotel de Ville" and BHV will be right there. No need to find the exact address on rue de verrerie). The prepatory space is transformed into a dining space, and it's all enclosed in a glass room - so even though there may be people peering into you, you eat in relative privacy. The chef is really nice, friendly, and can speak some English, though one of my favorite memories is this: "Here, you rape ze lemon -" Everyone tries to restrain their laughter politely, but a man intercedes. "En anglais, "rape" veut dire ... violer." LOL. (In case you don't get it, "raper" is the term used for peeling or removing the skin) The meal afterwards is delightful, and I always sign up for the free dessert & coffee (though you can get tea instead) & wine deal. 15€? Awesome. :)
