Full menu

Viennoiserie

Pain aux RaisinsA spiral of croissant dough spread with crème pâtissière and rum-soaked raisins, soft in the middle and crisp at the edges.
Chausson aux PommesPuff pastry turnover filled with chunky apple compote, scored on top and glazed to a lacquered finish.
Kouign-AmannA Breton pastry of laminated dough layered with sugar and salted butter, baked until the outside caramelizes into a toffee-like shell.
Brioche à TêteFluted brioche with a little topknot, rich with eggs and butter, yielding a golden, faintly sweet crumb.

Pain

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.
Brioche NanterreA loaf of buttery brioche baked in a pan from several dough balls, ideal for toast or pain perdu.

Pâtisserie

Mille-FeuilleThree layers of caramelized puff pastry with vanilla pastry cream, iced with marbled fondant; crisp, creamy, and messy to eat.
Paris-BrestA wheel of choux pastry split and filled with hazelnut praliné mousseline cream, scattered with toasted almonds.
Tarte aux FraisesCrisp pâte sucrée with vanilla crème pâtissière and glazed fresh strawberries arranged in tight rows.
OpéraThin almond sponge layers soaked in coffee syrup, alternated with coffee buttercream and ganache under a glossy chocolate glaze.
