5. Aux Merveilleux de Fred: Flaky Brioche Feuilletée

Aux Merveilleux de Fred entrance — Aux Merveilleux de Fred / Facebook

Aux Merveilleux de Fred is a patisserie chain best known for its meringue-and-cream merveilleux, but its brioche feuilletée, a flaky, laminated brioche, is worth the trip in its own right. There are branches across Paris, including 94 rue Saint-Dominique (7th), 2 rue Monge (5th), and 24 rue du Pont Louis-Philippe (4th), so one is usually near wherever you are exploring.

6. Bread & Roses

Bread & Roses, at 62 rue Madame in the 6th arrondissement, is an English-style bakery, patisserie, and tearoom that opened in 2004 on the corner of rue Madame and rue de Fleurus. Its ancient-grain brioche loaf, with a soft crumb and deep aroma, pairs well with the house hot chocolate, and the tables make it an easy spot to sit down rather than grab and go.

7. Maison Landemaine Beaumarchais: Creative Flavors

Maison Landemaine Beaumarchais establishment — PSampaio / TripAdvisor

The Beaumarchais branch of Maison Landemaine, at 28 boulevard Beaumarchais in the 11th arrondissement on the edge of the Marais, leans into creative brioche flavors such as orange blossom, or fig and almond. The crumb is light with a crisp outer crust, and the chocolate-ganache brioche is a standout. It is a handy stop before or after wandering the Marais.

8. Maison Landemaine République: Pastries and Babka

Near Place de la République, this Maison Landemaine branch is a reliable stop for pastries, including the escargot: a flaky, chewy spiral filled with pistachio cream. It is an easy place to pick up a brioche or a weekend babka while exploring the 11th arrondissement.

9. Ten Belles Bread: Classic French Recipes

Ten Belles Bread, at 17-19 bis rue Bréguet in the 11th arrondissement, is a bakery, cafe, and coffee roastery rolled into one. Alongside crusty sourdough and pastries baked throughout the day, it turns out a chocolate-and-raisin brioche, and the house coffee is some of the best in the neighborhood. It is a good place to slow down over a brioche and a flat white.

10. Mamiche: Chocolate Babka and Brioche Buns

For a modern favorite, head to Mamiche, a women-run boulangerie with shops in the 9th (rue Condorcet, in SoPi) and the 10th (near the Saint-Martin covered market). It draws daily queues for its chocolate babka, a rich, swirled brioche, and its glossy brioche buns, which also anchor its popular sandwiches. Go early in the day, as the babka regularly sells out.

Brioche in Paris: Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best brioche in Paris?

For a classic, Patisserie Stohrer (51 rue Montorgueil, 2nd) is the traditional choice as the city’s oldest patisserie. For a pink-praline brioche, François Pralus’s praluline (35 rue Rambuteau, 4th) stands out, and for babka-style brioche, Maison Landemaine and Mamiche are the names to know.

What is brioche?

Brioche is a soft, enriched French bread made with butter and eggs, which give it a tender, cake-like crumb and a golden crust. It sits between bread and pastry, and is eaten plain, topped with pearl sugar, or filled, as in a babka.

How much does brioche cost in Paris?

A single brioche bun or slice in a Paris boulangerie usually costs about €2 to €5. A whole praline brioche or a babka loaf costs more, often €10 to €15. Prices are approximate and vary by shop.

What is the difference between brioche and babka?

Babka is made from an enriched, brioche-style dough that is rolled with a filling, usually chocolate or cinnamon, then twisted so the filling swirls through every slice. In Paris, Maison Landemaine and Mamiche are known for their chocolate babka.
