Master Pâtissier Florian Poirot is opening a new branch in Shambles on Friday, October 25.
Originally from Nancy in the north east of France, the pastry chef became UK pastry champion and in 2017 represented the UK at the World Pastry Cup in Lyon, and was awarded best sugar showpiece.
As the Press previously reported, Florian moved from France to York with his wife Celine almost ten years ago to work for Nestlé as a senior confectioner.
Florian said : “I’m absolutely delighted to be expanding into York and really excited to be based in Shambles.
“Over the last few weeks my family, our team, Celine and I have been working hard to get the new store ready to meet our new customers.
“Pastry has always been my passion, and I can’t wait to share with you what we do.”
