I don’t remember why I went into Boulangerie La Feuillette. Maybe I was hungry. Maybe I was lost. Maybe I followed the smell of melted cheese like a cartoon mouse in a trance. What I do remember is stepping through the doors and thinking: “This is not a boulangerie. This is a carbohydrate cathedral.”
The place is quite cosy and chique at the same time. Roughly 47 different types of bread silently judging you from behind glass displays. I felt underdressed. I’d come in for a snack and suddenly found myself in a Gatsby party hosted by croissants.
I didn’t panic. I locked eyes with the display and there it was—like a shining golden artifact from a forgotten civilization: the fougasse steak haché.
A pizza? A burger? A sandwich that fell into a focaccia and got stuck? I didn’t know. I didn’t care. I ordered it. And reader... I ate it.
It tastes like rebellion. Like someone took a bakery internship, got bored, and said, “Screw it, we’re putting meat in the bread.”
The dough was pillowy but had that perfect outer chew. Inside, the steak haché sat like royalty, surrounded by melted cheese and Boursin. Might have been magic. Hard to say. Every bite was warm, juicy, and borderline emotional. I made eye contact with a stranger mid-bite. They nodded. They understood.
☕ Other important facts from my noble quest:
The coffee came fast and strong, like a tiny French slap to the face.
The staff were pleasant and efficient—think Formula 1 pit crew, but with aprons and more smiles.
The ambiance was 1950s Paris café meets suburban megaplex. A strange but oddly comforting mix. Like your grandma redecorated a Starbucks.
😬 Any downsides?
Sure. Not everything in the display looked equally fresh. I saw one croissant that looked like it had been through some things. But I forgave it—maybe it had a rough morning. Also, you could argue the prices are a bit “tourist surprise,” especially if you just came in for a pain au chocolat and leave with a small mortgage worth of pastries. But honestly, I’d pay again for that fougasse. Twice, even. Maybe with change I find...
Read moreGreat place for a quick lunch or to pick something up on the way to the seaside. They have a car park but it can be busy around lunch time. The staff is friendly and the place looks gorgeous. There is a ton of options for food, from pastries, bread, sandwiches, pasta, risotto,... It all looks and tastes very fresh. Their set menu is great value and the food really worth it.
They make their bread on site, we has the Chicken Baguette with their Home Made Lemonade (sugar on the side !!!) and finished with a light Strawberry Crumble !!! I would...
Read moreAprès un passage dans la boutique , dès l'entrée une ambiance particulièrement triste et pesante, l'équipe de vendeurs semblent bien triste, pas un sourire, un léger bonjour du bout des lèvres, quel dommage!!! Il y a quelques semaines j'étais venue acheter quelques produits et l'ambiance,l'accueil etaient beaucoup plus chaleureux et surtout les vendeurs avaient le sourire, je me souviens très bien de la jeune vendeuse souriante et agréable qui m'avait servi et très bien conseillé, il me semble qu'elle s'appelle Enora. Quelle déception de mes achats hier, j'ai acheté 2 macarons individuels à la framboise, 2 tartelettes au citron meringué qui semblaient très appétissant mais en réalité sur un macaron certaines framboises étaient moisis, et il y avait très peu de crème, (j'ai du le mettre à la poubelle), par rapport à l'autre macaron qui était beaucoup plus haut!!! Extrêmement déçu de cet achat et au vu du prix payé franchement c'est désolant!!!! La qualité n'est pas au...
