The House.
A touch of Paris 1900 — designed for a refined moment, simple and out of time. In Miraflores today, and wherever the house is invited tomorrow.
— The beginnings
How is a house born.
Lima · 2025
The house came into being in Lima, in 2025. That year, Hugo married in Peru and decided to settle there. He had just spent eight years far from the kitchen, in tech — another trade, another world. But the passion had never really let him go.
It was in his Lima apartment that the concept took shape — with pencil, at the counter, at the table, the way one composes a menu. A menu, an atmosphere, a standard — everything he had kept in his memory from the French culinary school and the kitchens of his childhood, finally set down on paper. A house to build, at his own pace, by his own markers.
« La Crème de la Crème was born from a wedding, a return to the source, and a conviction: that it was time to go back to the stove. »
— The concept
Paris 1900, at your table.
La Crème de la Crème is a café and salon de thé inspired by Paris 1900 — where classic elegance meets a French pâtisserie that is at once exacting and contemporary.
Not just another French café. A refined, warm, visual and sensory world — one the house will carry with it, wherever it sets up.
« Here, time has stopped. »
— The atmosphere
Time on hold.
At La Crème de la Crème, time is not merely a clock on the wall. It is an atmosphere. A memory. The house thinks of itself as a refuge — a place to slow down, where every detail tells a story, where the past quietly informs the present. A setting we will know how to find again, identically, wherever the brand puts down roots.
— The thread
Time, like a thread.
Inside the house, time is the thread that ties everything together. The clock, the illustrations, the calligraphy — every detail recalls a time when people paused to savour a coffee, a pastry, a conversation. A signature that will travel with the brand, wherever it puts down roots.
— The experience
And if luxury was taking it slow?
Soft music, hushed conversations, a calm light, pâtisseries of the finest order — in Miraflores today, elsewhere tomorrow, the atmosphere simply invites you to take your time, to slow down.
