La Baguette Artisan Boulanger became our go-to breakfast spot while we stayed in Tavira. They have a wonderful selection of French-style pastries. We tried nearly all of them. The tarte au pomme was outstanding. The puff pastry was incredibly light and flaky without any greasiness. The apples were sweet and perfectly cooked. There was a clear glaze on top of the apples that just gave the pastry a beautiful appearance. The chocolate croissants were superb, with a beautifully laminated puff pastry and chocolate on the interior was soft and melted on the tongue. The caracol, raisin roll, was excellent with sweet raisins, and a puff pastry and a custard swirl. The outermost layer of the caracal was crispy, while the inside was unctious and sweet We also enjoyed a slice of their large levain and baguette for our lunches - Wow, both were amazing.

Read moreThis is almost reason enough to come to Tavira alone. We come here every morning when we are here and eat like kings for under €10 per person with loads of drinks and bread and pastries to take away. We had a lemon tart (citron meringee) that is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, period. Insanely tasty and would love to eat it every day of my life. The owners are a French family who are attentive and kind. We came early in the morning with our kid and one morning when we were extra tired the owner made us a special pick me up concoction without us even asking. They are sweet and kind and serious about great food. I would go here every day of my...
