Bakeries & Pastry in Paris

Viennoiseries, baguettes and sandwiches dominate the reviews of these fifty bakeries, and the baguette de tradition comes up at thirteen of them, but at several shops one item leads the reviews. At Boulangerie Idoia on Rue d'Avron it is gâteau basque, with cherry and Espelette pepper also mentioned; at Boulangerie Dupuy on Rue Cadet, tarte tatin; at Ogateau, a pâtisserie on Rue des Pyrénées, pavlova and Saint-Honoré; and at Boulangerie du Parc Monceau on Rue de Prony, salads.

Organic baking is the focus at Boulangerie Bacillus on Rue des Dames, whose reviews talk about brioche and cinnamon rolls, and at Les Voisins on Rue de Buzenval, which sells its bread by the whole, half or quarter loaf. Maison Hecht on Rue du Rocher has a faïence-tiled shopfront, and Boulangerie Leroy Monti on Avenue Daumesnil a small tasting area. Almost all list €1–10 per person.
