It’s so wonderful that NBC has coordinated to show Ina’s Paris favorites to the world as they are extraordinary food artisans. The simple French tart will leave you speechless, it is that GREAT! Merci to the NBC Crew. Xo, Millette
The absolute best loaf of sourdough bread on this planet. Pure bliss. Poilâne is the one and only. Don’t just stop at the French baguette, this is totally different.
My dad always had us stop at this bakery before we left Paris to get bread to take home! He then had it shipped to him when it became possible! Beyond amazing,I still dream about their dense walnut bread!
"How much carbs have we had?? It's nothing but carbs..." Americans will never understand the French way of life. Counting or worrying about carbs while in France is pointless
It’s a real small store too! But large tastes. It’s in the 6th, I believe on 8 Rue du Cherche- Midi. I am sure there are other locations, but this is the main bakery. They also carry in many markets!
I have been to this store twice in my visits to Paris. I remember the bread and the raisin bread is the best. I don't remember pastries. I saw the address in a magazine, wrote it down and then several yrs later on a 1st trip to Paris I went there.
i have tried Poilane many times, including the sourdough, apple tarts, brioche, punition cookies etc, you name it. in general Poilane is over rated. Honestly, the best sourdough is from Josey Baker Bread from San Francisco. If you contrast Josey Baker’s sourdough to Poilane’s, Poilane is so dry and not even close. Furthermore Josey Baker is all organic while Poilane is not. In addition Poilane’s famous punition cookies are way overrated IMHO. if you go to Japan, you will discover a dozen of brands that make much better cookies than Poilane. The key difference is the butter. Poilane’s butter is too smelly. The only thing that poilane excels is their. apple tart. You can reserve them by asking the ladies not to put on any sugar.
May I ask what you do for work? And if you’re interested in hiring me? I’d love to be able to afford Paris, Tokyo, and San Francisco on a regular basis.
