About french bakeries
There is a particular smell to a French boulangerie at eight in the morning – caramelised crust, warm butter, a hint of yeast – and plenty of British bakeries now manage to bottle it. Some are run by French bakers who trained in the compagnonnage tradition; others are British-owned shops that have mastered the classics. Either way, they share a focus on bread made fresh through the day and viennoiserie laminated with butter.
What to order
- Baguette de tradition – Creamy, irregular crumb and a crackling crust – eat it within hours.
- Croissant au beurre – Crisp, shattering outer layers and a soft, buttery honeycomb inside.
- Pain au chocolat – Two batons of dark chocolate in croissant dough, the French breakfast staple.
- Pain aux raisins – A spiral of laminated dough, crème pâtissière and raisins.
- Pain de campagne – A larger country loaf that keeps for several days.
