Full menu

Viennoiserie

  • 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.
  • Croissant au BeurreAn all-butter croissant with a honeycombed interior, shattering crust, and deep caramelized color from a long, slow proof.

Pain

  • Pain de SeigleRye bread with a dense, moist crumb and earthy sourness, traditionally served with oysters and salted butter.
  • 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.

Pâtisserie

  • Tarte au CitronSweet shortcrust shell filled with sharp, satiny lemon curd, sometimes crowned with torched Italian meringue.
  • Mille-FeuilleThree layers of caramelized puff pastry with vanilla pastry cream, iced with marbled fondant; crisp, creamy, and messy to eat.
