Ycone Paris
A treasure trove of familiar and exotic treats
The ancient art of pastry-making is a feature that unites the souls of Arabia and Europe, and at Raffles Bahrain it is brought to life by the founder of Ycone Paris, French master patissier Yazid Ichemrahen. At our beautiful, relaxed patisserie, take a rare moment to discover his signature savoury and sweet dishes, and choose from the artful display of Viennoiserie, mini pastries and cakes. Enjoy at the table with a selection of exquisite teas and juices, or take home to your villa. In Chef Yazid's dexterous hands, every intricately designed gem-like pastry has a story to tell.

Meet the chef
Pastry Chef Yazid Ichemrahen
French pastry-maker and Ycone founder Yazid Ichemrahen transcended his humble beginnings to become the youngest ever World Pastry Champion at the age of 22. The creation of his brand, Ycone Paris, was based on his skilful interpretation of three desserts inspired by his childhood, with which he has touched millions of hearts: the Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée, the banana bread that his 'Tati' made for him on Saturday afternoons, and the chocolate fondant that he would have on his birthday. Yazid worked for the world-renowned chef Alain Ducasse and has collaborated with many luxury brands outside the sphere of hospitality, including Dior, Louis Vuitton and Chaumet. Today he constantly travels the world in search of inspiration, and has written a book, Reve D'Un Enfant Etoile, chronicling his life story and passion for pastry.
