Meet Nicolas Guercio

Nicolas Guercio has dreamed of pastry making since childhood, a vocation that would become reality a few years later...
Portrait of the pastry chef.

After studying cooking, he chose to turn to pastry making and began his apprenticeship at the Ritz Paris where he discovered the rigor of palace desserts alongside Pastry Chef Eddie Benghanem.


This was followed by a series of trips to gain international experience. First, London, where he became Sous-Chef Pâtissier for the Hakkasan group, known for its many starred restaurants. Then, the North Island, a very private resort in the Seychelles, where he was entrusted with the position of Pastry Chef, and finally, he moved to Tokyo, where he took part in the opening of one of the Dalloyau catering boutiques in Japan.


As a globetrotter in search of challenges, he moved to Russia for 7 years and more precisely to Saint Petersburg as Executive Pastry Chef for various renowned restaurants and groups. There, he oversaw opening 4 pastry stores as well as creating the sweet menu of the most prestigious luxury grocery store in the city.
Portrait of Nicolas Guercio.

Just before joining the Lutetia, Nicolas spent 3 years at the famous culinary school Ferrandi, as a pastry instructor for the international program. Today, as Executive Pastry Chef at the Lutetia Paris, he expresses himself fully through his creations, both gourmet and creative.


Passionate about his art, he is a fervent ambassador of it. Chocolate, confectionery, pastries, cakes, cookies, and ice cream are all skills that Nicolas and his teams have mastered to perfection and that they put to honor at Lutetia.


Since his arrival, Nicolas has never ceased to amaze with his dizzying sculptures in pulled sugar, trompe l'oeil Christmas logs, and creations that are as tasty as they are unexpected. He works daily to transmit his knowledge and passion to the next generations.
