The chocolate cakes all had a perfect caramelized base crust that is surprisingly good. They open early and close by 7pm. And let's face it, what else can you do if you're stuck in Ferney Voltaire on a cold winter day but snack on some pastries with a cup of hot tea while looking out the window of your hotel room at snow, buildings and roads?

Needless to say they also have these little round cheese breads, imagine a cream puff but its cheesey and savory inside instead of the cream....my husband bought a bag of 10 one Saturday morning....they are a bit bigger than bite size...I think I ate 8 of them with my coffee....DIVINE. Mille feuille, known in the US (well NJ) as a Napoleon , is by far the best here I have ever tasted...It has the perfect ratio of creme:pastry:frosting...too many places skimp on the creme inside or frosting on top but La Fournil has it SPOT on. The only downside is I never get a parking spot nearby and they have no parking but its worth the trip to find parking and go inside.

I had been avoiding BdB because it seemed a bit too organized and a bit too clean to have a real neighborhood feel. They had many tempting pastries and chocolates that were tastefully presented in a large display, but (1) it was 7:30 am and too early for a piece of tart or a slice of cake, and (2) I had decided to sample the croissant at each bakery for a fair comparison. Although admittedly I did cheat a little bit and get a croissant des amades (CHF2.20--quite reasonable!). I was expecting a more manufactured taste than the small hole-in-the-wall bakery that I visited last week, considering the larger scale of BdB. Surprisingly, the croissant had a nice, slightly imperfect density and light sticky glaze that made it evident that they were home-made, and the almond paste inside was also a good texture of graininess. In fact, it tasted much fresher than the croissant I had purchased at the smaller bakery. As there are plenty of other bakeries in the area that I have yet to visit as I continue on my quest, I cannot say at this point that I've found my neighborhood baker. But if I'm looking for a little treat, I would not hesitate to go back to BdB to try their many other tasty-looking offerings.

This little cafe is absolutely amazing and definitely my favorite spot in the city. For 9.90, you can have one of four meal combos: two sandwiches, a dessert, and a drink; a soup, a sandwich, and a dessert or drink; a quiche, a dessert, and a drink; or a salad, a sandwich, and a dessert or drink. You can't go wrong with any of these, because everything I've had here has been delicious. My personal favorite items: the pistachio chocolate mousse, the carac, the spinach quiche, and the espresso. (Definitely the best espresso in the city, in my opinion.) Service is great, there's wifi, and the atmosphere is cozy. You can't go wrong.
