Moist carrot cake, our signature slice
Moist · creamy frosting · made on site
Moist, as the English say: a tender crumb packed with freshly grated carrot, gentle spices and silky frosting. The cult-favourite carrot cake up on the Butte, baked every day and served in or to take away, steps from Lamarck-Caulaincourt metro.
What makes a carrot cake moist
Three secrets to a tender slice
A moist carrot cake is no accident: it's the meeting of a generous carrot, a measured balance of spices and a frosting whipped to order.
The carrot, key to moisture
Freshly grated and used generously, it releases a natural moisture that keeps the crumb tender for days, without the slightest dryness.
Spices, all in gentleness
Cinnamon first, a touch of ginger and nutmeg: they perfume without ever dominating, letting the carrot and the fresh cheese breathe.
A creamy frosting, whipped to order
A barely sweet cream cheese, smooth and glossy. Its dairy freshness cuts the cake's richness and marks the real ones.
The house slice
A moist carrot cake, home-made every day
You don't come to Berchoux for the carrot cake by chance. The slice is tall, the frosting generous, the crumb fragrant with gentle spices and studded with tender carrot. It's the dessert that stays with you after lunch on the Butte.
Baked on site by the chef, it follows the same spirit as the whole menu: seasonal produce, nothing industrial, everything made in the kitchen. Served all day, it suits an indulgent coffee as much as the end of a meal — enjoy it in the dining room or take it away to a Montmartre bench.
A moist slice that wastes nothing
Our carrot cake is part of a flexitarian, anti-waste kitchen we've run since 2020. Seasonal produce is worked on site, nothing is lost, and the indulgence is there from morning to evening.
Using the carrot
Slightly bent carrots, irregular sizes, peelings: carrot cake turns often-rejected produce into a generous dessert, with no waste.
Cooking in season
Following the market guarantees carrots at their best — sweeter, more tender — and limits waste.
Right-sized portions
Made the same day in measured quantities, home-made carrot cake avoids the surplus of mass-produced pastry.
Choosing an anti-waste carrot cake isn't going without: it's a fresher, better-thought dessert, in tune with responsible cooking.
The chef
Thirty years in starred kitchens, one slice of cake turned cult favourite.
“A good carrot cake means time, good produce and nothing superfluous. The moisture is generosity — and carrot.”Julie Berchoux, chef
Before opening her table in Montmartre, Julie spent thirty years alongside Robuchon, Ducasse, Taillevent and Fauchon. She now puts that rigour at the service of unpretentious baking — and a carrot cake praised even by the English-speaking press.

The perfect moment for a moist slice
Carrot cake is rare in that it spans the whole day. As a lunch dessert, it ends a meal on an indulgent note; at coffee time, it turns a break into a small pleasure; at teatime, it finds its favourite ground.
Served at room temperature rather than cold, it delivers all its moisture and fully releases its aromas. A detail that alone marks a caring address.
