An Exploration into French Food

Which French treats will you (re)discover at café Gourmand? Find out more here:

French Bread & Pastries

As we make everything from scratch, we are limited in time and space so, on a daily basis, we offer you a small quantity, but top quality, of traditional treats you would find in any French artisan bakery:

Baguette Tradition

Croissants Pur Beurre* (Full butter croissant)

Pains au chocolat

Chouquettes

Financiers

Choux Chantilly

Fruits tarts

…

*Our croissants strictly come as they are. We DO NOT offer jam and/or butter with them as we don’t do that in France.

But don’t worry, once you try them, you will see the difference between our croissants, made with the Best butter in the world (Isigny Ste Mère), and the ones you find in other food places (which sell industrially made, ready to bake frozen croissants, made with margarine instead of butter).

As per the Traditional way, we only make Almond croissants when we have left over croissants, as they MUST be made with croissants from the day before.

During the weekend, you will find;

Brioches

A selection of special breads

Suisses

Pains aux raisins
