This very refined deli is one of my favorite places in Bordeaux!…read more Let's start with the shop itself: it's beautifully organised, and the team is fantastic. They are very helpful, and really know what they are talking about. What will you want to buy: everything! Cheese, hams, crackers, fruit and vegetables... Olive oil from Italy, spices, you name it! Everyting is delicious as you can imagine. They serve lunch but make sure you book in advance, they can accomodate up to 12 people. The cost for a meal is less than 10 euros, and less than 13 for a dish and desert.

Items Selected: Gateau Basque…read moreWinter Fruit Clafoutis Financier Butter Croissant Canele Madeline Apple Tart Located not far from a culinary arts center as well as several stores selling artisan goods both edible and not, those unaware of Bordeaux's bakeries may pass right by the bright red building housing La Fabrique Pains et Bricoles, but for those fortunate enough to enter inside the aroma of burning wood and yeast is but the first of many rewards, the quality of each item tasted setting a standard unrivaled by anywhere else in the city. Focused on old-world technique, the selection of breads varying by day along with a collection of pastries and viennoiserie, it was largely a matter of planning and favorable traffic that saw me arrive just after doors opened at 8am on Monday when bakers were still present, and with most options still warm the question of how much to order was largely that of preferences alongside those of capacity. Undoubtedly a place where anything but a "one of each" order will see desirable items left behind, the prices shockingly low with a total bill of just €10.45 for seven selections akin to robbing the place, it was in a chilly Place Camille Jullian that I sat to partake, first bites of the airy croissant awash with butter as golden flakes fluttered away in the stiff breeze. Taking a unique approach to presentation, the apple 'tart' a delicate finger of stewed fruit between layers of buttery cake with a toothsome texture while the financier was a smooth orb dusted with powdered sugar atop rich nutty notes, those fancying clafoutis should make an early morning visit to La Fabrique Pains et Bricoles a top priority, the version offered in late November a creamy masterpiece with raw sections of citrus and stonefruit on top and cooked bits at the still steaming center. Turning to classics at the end, a Madeline with light lemon as good as any straight from the pan, it should seem obvious that when in Bordeaux the canele is nothing short of mandatory, this version as good as any found outside the restaurant setting while the flawless Gateau Basque was a hearty way to finish, the double layered shell rich with almond flour around a pastry cream center.

Lucky for us, this boulangerie was just a 2-minute walk from our AirBnB during our recent stay in…read moreBordeaux. Located right next to the Saint Michel cathedral, it faces the open square and is surrounded by several other cute restaurants and shops. There is no seating inside, but there is plenty of seating in the square. It's a popular spot so there is usually a line, but the lines moves quickly. Of course, order your daily baguette here (we did!). But in addition to their fresh baked breads, they also offer some pastries such as classic French croissants, cannelés, madeleines, and more. I found their prices to be extremely reasonable compared to other boulangeries in the area (we did our own boulangerie crawl), and the service was fast and friendly.

But they are even tastier. Apparently they have custard and rum inside but I couldn't taste either. Price is pretty reasonable at 6 for 6.5 Pain au chocolat was also fairly good.

And this one little bakery is the one we keep returning to. The bread is simply divine, with the best texture and flavor, and made on site with organic and fresh ingredients. There are many varieties, wish we had time to try them all, and my favorite is one with chocolate. My only complain is that it's take out only. There is not even space where you can stand to eat, and they don't sell any coffee or drink. The counter is a mere foot or two from the door, enough space to place your order, and behind the counter you see the production facility, and that's all there is. Baking is all they do, all they focus on, and they sure do a mighty good job of it.

After 5 days in France and trying multiple bakeries, croissants, and baked goods, I ended the trip…read morewith this bakery and it was the best one of all the ones I had tried. I got 2 sandwiches - one with chicken, lettuce and tomato, and one with ham. I liked the ham one better than the one with chicken, but they were both good and the bread and ingredients were very fresh. The ham one had butter, the ham was spicy and flavorful, and I wanted more after it was done. The sandwiches were 4.80 euros each, which was totally reasonable. The baked goods were even better, as I got the chocolatine (chocolate croissant), for around 1 euro and it was super flaky, with many layers, and the right amount of chocolate inside. I wish I could have eaten 2 of them. We also got a tarte aux pommes (apple tart) which was equally as delicious: flaky, not too sweet, with a decent amount of sliced apples on top. I wish I could have tried more of their things, but really glad I had a chance to try a variety of savory and salty things. I would definitely come back here again and recommend it if you're in Bordeaux.

You'll find the "traditional" baguette (my favorite) still warm, displayed amongst a variety of baguettes and freshly baked breads. The breakfast pastries (as we Americans like to call them) are divine. Simple, delicious and always fresh. The "pain aux raisin" is a favorite along with the traditional croissant and the heavenly almond croissant. Get there early and you'll see all the fixin's for the sandwiches freshly prepared and waiting for your selection. I've never indulged in their dessert style pastries though they too look inviting. I'm too busy shoving bite size pieces of warm baguette into my mouth to give it more thought. Lucky me, this little jewel is located just at the end of my street! I've experienced warm baguettes at all times of the day. You will not be disappointed if you pop into Le Pain d'Elise!

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!
