The best of traditional French pastry has been provided by this hub for both sweet and savory treats, where everything is made on-site.

The Baba au Rhum, which Chef Stohrer created for King Stanislas because the monarch thought the neighborhood French kouglof cake was too dry, is among Stohrer's most well-known desserts and pastries. When he first launched his bakery, Chef Stohrer soaked the cake in a syrup spiked with a herbal liqueur before switching to rum. The menu at Stohrer has grown over the years, but the bakery continues to provide the traditional items for which it is renowned and has solidified its status as a national treasure.
