6th Arrondissement (St.-Germain)
Bread & Roses
This unassuming bakery on the cusp of the Luxembourg Gardens offers a range of pastries, breads, and lunch dishes. Its corner placement, with hanging flowers above the adjoining sidewalk, offers a chance to people-watch from either outside or through the large windows. Bakery offerings include dense multigrains, breads stuffed with fruits or green olives, and tarts filled with everything from chocolate to strawberry. Savory selections range from goose liver pate to puff pastries topped with tomatoes, onions, and marinated anchovies.
Insider Tip:
While offering both, Parisian bakeries tend to specialize in either pastries or breads. For this particular bakery, Bread & Roses' name says it all.
