We stumbled upon Perrin while exploring Bordeaux and decided to stop inside for some high-end…read morepastries. It was absolutely fantastic! I ordered the lemon tart and my boyfriend ordered the chocolate eclair. We were both blown away by how good both choices were! The tart was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, just small enough to eat on-the-go while we continued our walk. The eclair was very tasty as well. They paid a lot of attention to detail in making the filling, rather than just blasting it with as much sugar as possible like many bakeries do. We actually ended up coming back here the next morning to get a box of snacks for our train ride to Arcachon. We snagged a delicious strawberry pastry, a rocher, another eclair, and a chocolate cake-like pastry. The strawberry pastry was much milder than the other deserts and a great way to start the day. The rocher was a very rich chocolate moose encased in a hard chocolate shell mixed with nuts, and topped with a gold flake. Note, I only tried the sweet deserts. There was a large selection of artisan baked goods, ranging from eclairs to gold-foiled tarts. They also had a large selection of cookies, gift bags, cakes, breads, scones, sandwiches, and cheaper breakfast snacks. This is a must-try in Bordeaux.

The baguette is best consumed within a few hours of getting it. It wasn't very salted, so it's best with some salted butter or cheese / charcuterie.

The waiter was so impressed with my wife's French that he gifted up an extra pastry for the road. Very French place. Would go back anyway!

I saw some instances where someone who came in later got served first.

There weren't a ton of restaurants that popped up near us on Yelp but Au Pétrin Moissagais had good reviews and most importantly, croissants! I arrived in minutes and was greeted with the wonderful smell of fresh bread. The place was cozy and boasted various baskets of baked goods throughout the room. I turned to the woman behind the counter with my best: "Bonjour parles-tu anglais?" In return, she gave me her best "no." Determined not to leave empty handed I smiled and pointed to these puff pastry things behind the counter, and like a child, confidently held up three fingers. Next I stopped in front of what appeared to be chocolate croissants (no signage) and held up 2 fingers. You get the drill... When it came time to pay I had successfully ordered 3 puff things, 2 chocolate croissants, 3 plain croissants and 3 pieces of brioche. My total? €12. Five minutes later I was back at the apartment with my spoils. The puff things were filled with lightly sweet cream and were just delicious. The chocolate croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky and gone in no time. The brioche definitely needed butter (if only I knew the French word for that) but still fresh and tasty. I was so happy to have found this place and at €12 for 11 baked goods, it was a steal. If you are staying nearby this place is a must try. Merci!

Such a great brunch place! There were tons of good breakfast options like pastries, quiches, and…read moreeggs, but they also had great lunch foods like bowls and sandwiches. I ordered a latte and the croque monsiuer. Everything was delicious and pretty reasonably priced for Bordeaux. The staff was also super kind, and the atmosphere had really great brunch vibes. Glad we found this place - we loved it!

I felt that the service was lacking, they were more into talking amongst themselves than with customers which always creates a not so warm ambiance. The hot chocolate: I've had better. On the other hand the gluten free chocolate cake was very rich and yummy so I have to give them credit for that. They also have savory dishes if you want to stop by for lunch. Out of all the coffeeshops in Bordeaux, Mona was just okay for me.
