Full menu

Viennoiserie

  • Croissant au BeurreAn all-butter croissant with a honeycombed interior, shattering crust, and deep caramelized color from a long, slow proof.
  • Pain au ChocolatCroissant dough rolled around two batons of dark chocolate, flaky and buttery with bittersweet pockets.
  • Croissant aux AmandesDay-old croissant soaked in syrup, filled and topped with almond cream and sliced almonds, then rebaked; dense, sweet, and crisp-edged.
  • Pain aux RaisinsA spiral of croissant dough spread with crème pâtissière and rum-soaked raisins, soft in the middle and crisp at the edges.

Pain

  • Baguette TraditionMade only from flour, water, salt, and leaven, with a crackly crust, irregular holes, and a creamy, wheaty crumb.
  • Pain de CampagneA rustic country loaf blending white and whole-grain flours, leavened with levain for a thick crust and mild tang.
  • Pain aux NoixHearty whole wheat loaf packed with walnuts, earthy and faintly bitter, a natural partner for a cheese board.
  • FougasseProvençal leaf-shaped flatbread slashed with openings, brushed with olive oil and studded with olives or herbs.

Pâtisserie

  • Paris-BrestA wheel of choux pastry split and filled with hazelnut praliné mousseline cream, scattered with toasted almonds.

  • OpéraThin almond sponge layers soaked in coffee syrup, alternated with coffee buttercream and ganache under a glossy chocolate glaze.
  • Tarte TatinUpside-down apple tart of butter-caramelized apples on a pastry base, deeply amber and soft-set, often served with crème fraîche.
