Just as we leave our New Year’s Eve tables, the kings are already knocking on our doors. At the editorial office, we were prepared. From Marrakech to Casablanca, Shoelifer has listed 5 sure bets for finding your galette for 2025. Crispy to perfection, golden just as they should be, and crowned with unique flavors… they are irresistible.
The rose praline from Hicham Aouad
The “galette des rois” with rose pralines from Les Ateliers du Chef is a little wonder. The choice was not easy among the wide range of galettes for 2025 offered by Hicham Aouad’s team. To name a few, there’s the Half-Dark Chocolate, the Passion Coco, and of course the Traditional… At the editorial office, we succumbed to the Signature galette made with delicious sugar-coated almonds, a Lyonnaise specialty. Beneath its golden-hued puff pastry, the frangipane with rose pralines plays on both visual and taste contrasts. First crispy, then creamy and soft while still slightly crunchy. The best way to understand it is to taste it!
The Rose Praline Signature Galette from Les Ateliers du Chef – on order – 290 DH (10 people) and 350 DH (12 people)

The apple-cinnamon from Paul
Paul’s galette des rois never disappoints…and you know it. But this year, it is offered in a particularly indulgent version: made with pure butter, of course. Also, it tempts you with an almond cream and cinnamon-flavored apple for something new. Under a braided, flaky pastry, the creaminess of the frangipane is slightly enhanced by a barely crispy streusel. It’s a truly interesting variation in the list of galettes for 2025. Even better, the bakery-pâtisserie offers it in individual portions, so you can indulge even when you’re alone.

Apple-Cinnamon Almond Galette – 280 DH (8 people) or 32 DH per individual piece
The exotic from Hélène Darroze
Tahiti vanilla, frangipane cream with preserved lemon and fresh garden zest, Hélène Darroze’s signature galette is an invitation to travel. The orchids of Polynesia are known to produce the best vanilla in the world, and the lush gardens of Marrakech grow fleshy, juicy lemons. The star chef of Royal Mansour Marrakech has this year initiated a fusion of exceptional products to offer a subtle blend of flavors. Sweetness and freshness, smoothness and bitterness. Behind its delicately crispy puff pastry, the melting creaminess of the frangipane will not leave you indifferent. Whether you find the bean or not, if you love citrusy and slightly spicy vanilla notes, you’ll surely go for another serving!

The classic from Pierre Hermé
We couldn’t consider a list of galettes for 2025 without including the one that caught our attention at the Pierre Hermé boutique at La Mamounia. Classic, but a must-have: the Infiniment Amande Galette. The master pâtissier highlights all the facets of the almond. Under a golden and crispy puff pastry, an almond cream enriched with roasted almonds reveals a delicious balance. A must-try!

The pecan from Terra Mia Café
Terra Mia Café has become one of the must-visit spots in the ochre city. Under the guidance of Chef Daoud Essadiq, the patisserie offers, among others, a selection of galettes for 2025. The pecan one has won the editorial office’s heart. Traditional yet slightly reworked, it is ultra-gourmet. Its puff pastry encloses a pecan cream that is simply irresistible. This superfood from America is especially nutritious, which helps alleviate any guilt…
