Pierre Hermé Paris Singapore clinches the title of World’s Best Pastry Shop 2026

Singapore has a new sweet claim to fame. Pierre Hermé Paris’s flagship at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) has been named the World’s Best Pastry Shop 2026 at the La Liste Pastry Awards.

This is an achievement worth celebrating – La Liste is a reputable French-based global guide that ranks restaurants, pastry shops, and hotels using a scoring system that compiles reviews from hundreds of guides, critics, and online sources.

The pastry’s winning outlet is the brand’s largest flagship in the world, sitting at Weave in Sentosa. It’s also Pierre Hermé Paris’ first store in Southeast Asia.

Pierre Hermé is a French pâtissier often dubbed the “Picasso of Pastry” for the way he treats desserts like creative, almost architectural works rather than traditional sweets. He built his reputation at major Paris maisons such as Fauchon and Ladurée before founding his own house, Pierre Hermé Paris, in 1998. Known for bold, unconventional flavour pairings and meticulous technique, he helped redefine the modern macaron and is often credited with pushing the boundaries of confectionery.

Inside the flagship at RWS, there are Singapore-exclusive creations designed for local palates and ingredients, including The Jardin Peranakan, which folds in pandan, coconut, and kaya. Alongside it sit classics like Mogador and Infiniment Praliné Pistache.

The range goes far beyond macarons, too. Indulge in handcrafted chocolates, intricate pastries, finely tempered bonbons, pralines, and seasonal cakes. Singapore’s boutique also introduces the maison’s first-ever Ice Cream Bar and Bubble Tea Collection, reinterpreting signature flavours into chilled, drinkable formats.

Reacting to the win, Pierre Hermé noted that the award reflects the “passion, dedication, and talent” of his teams and credited the partnership with Resorts World Sentosa for helping bring the vision to life.
