Chef Pierre Gatel to Debut Cafe Breizh This Week

A new bakery will debut in Spring Valley this week featuring some high-caliber chef credentials behind the scenes. Cafe Breizh will debut its 2,308-square-foot space at the Apache Center on Dec. 1, close to the intersection of Spring Mountain and Fort Apache toads.

Partners in the venture are Jerome Marchand and chef Pierre Gatel, who spent 11 years at the Wynn and Encore resorts rising to the position of executive pastry chef. His earlier career includes time spent working in New York with Francois Payard and Alain Ducasse.

The partners were both born in Brittany, or Breizh as it is known in the local Breton language. Marchand's specialty addition to the project will be authentic Bretagne galettes.

Already recommended by the team, Salad Nicosie, Croque Monsieur, chicken and Gouda quiche, crepes with apple and salted caramel and Paris–Brest.

The cafe will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m and an outdoor patio is also on the way.
