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

  • 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

  • Éclair au ChocolatLong choux pastry filled with dark chocolate pastry cream and topped with glossy chocolate fondant, crisp-shelled and creamy within.
  • 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.
  • Paris-BrestA wheel of choux pastry split and filled with hazelnut praliné mousseline cream, scattered with toasted almonds.
