The best bakeries Nord

After having seen his croissants elected the best in the region, Maxime Brice is once again in the spotlight... on television this time. His establishment in Marquette has been named "Best bakery in Hauts-de-France" by the M6 channel! This is not surprising when you know the talent of this craftsman who has truly elevated his know-how to the rank of art. The apple cakes and turnovers are a true enchantment of flavors. And what can we say about the bread that can be adapted to the master's desires? A delicious bakery!

Alex Croquet is a real enthusiast and describes himself as a bread nut! He likes to offer his customers breads that are rich in taste, with a creamy crumb. A real delight. He has chosen to ban chemical additives to have breads that fully express their tastes, textures and aromas. In addition to organic breads, he offers red label flour breads, brioches, cakes, puddings, croissants, pains au chocolat, muffins, pies and other pastries. And the prices are very reasonable for products of this quality!

The house participated in the show " La Meilleure boulangerie de France" on M6 and was ranked among the top 10. For Patrick Doucet, bread is a passion. For more than 25 years, he has been defending the French tradition and know-how in this field. He selects his flours with the greatest care with the sole aim of offering you authentic breads. On the sweet side, the artisan-creator offers pies and cakes with original flavors. Exigence, quality and authenticity are the pillars of the philosophy of the master Doucet!

Michaël Legrand, who took over this bakery and pastry shop in 2012, has met the challenge of maintaining the excellent reputation of his predecessor and imposing his name! The Maison Legrand bakery and pastry shop has quickly become a reference. The bread is delicious, crunchy and tender at the same time, the pastries are crispy and the pastries are still tempting. Original information: Maison Legrand took part in the show " La Meilleure Boulangerie de France " by presenting its speciality: the speculoos sacristan!

The little bakery on Rue des Bouchers cultivates its old-fashioned spirit inside and out. Here, ancestral methods and gestures are scrupulously respected to produce doughs and breads with an authentic taste and inimitable crispness. But at Pain de nos ancêtres, it's the homemade gingerbread that's the talk of the town: a beautiful brown color, perfectly spiced and as moist as a cake. You'll also find a wide selection of viennoiseries, sweet and savoury tarts and speciality baguettes.

Portugal invites itself to Lille! Or at least its pastéis de nata, the famous and delicious golden egg tarts, sprinkled with cinnamon or powdered sugar. A former Portuguese investment banker who trained in a pastéis de nata factory in Lisbon, Paulo arrived in Lille to follow in his footsteps, with the traditional recipe in his suitcase... Success came quickly, and his azulejo-clad stall in Vieux Lille is always busy! To take away in beautiful boxes of 2 or 6, or to enjoy on the terrace with a small bica (espresso).

One of the best artisan bakers in the metropolis is located in Wambrechies. Don't hesitate to travel a few kilometres to taste its special breads, organic breads, pure butter pastries or its wonderful. Olivier Vandromme is more than just a baker, he is a true creator who loves to share his know-how and his passion. And here we also like to share the know-how of other local producers. The strawberry tarts are thus filled with the fruits of the Lambin family, producers of Wambrechies! Note also that Olivier Vandromme is part of the Mange Lille collective. The master likes to share his art and values. A very nice address!

Efficiency, speed, traffic is a practical bakery. Open 7 m/7 from 6 a. m. to 15 p. m. it can save you early risers (croissants, chocolate bread) and cool snacks (sandwiches, compound salads). We're far from traditional bakeries, but there's an account to eat on the thumb.

What a joy to find addresses like this one again! Always a vast choice of breads - how difficult it is to choose! - and viennoiseries, each more appetizing than the last. In addition, there are various baguettes, sandwiches and pastries. Moreover, the bakery has obtained the PTINOR label thanks to its local organic bread made with natural leaven. But what we like most here is the friendly and expert welcome. Ask them questions and you'll learn a lot about the origin of the breads and cereals offered.

When Kristina and Mathieu opened their first high-quality artisan bakery-patisserie, they wanted to help the people of Lille (re)discover the true nature of bread. Mission accomplished, thanks to their baguettes and special breads made with organic flours, their assortment of homemade viennoiseries and pastries (croissants, pains au chocolat/raisins, apple turnovers, éclairs, Paris-Brest, mille-feuilles, tarts...), as well as their many variations of sandwiches, salads, quiches and pizzas for your best lunch breaks!

What's on offer? Who's got their mouth watering?

Christophe Paresys has been warmly welcoming you to his bakery since 2006. From breads and baguettes to viennoiseries and individual pastries, sandwiches and hot toast, all his dishes are a hit. Generous and deliciously gourmet, they are sold at prices accessible to all budgets and served by a young, dynamic and very pleasant staff. The owner himself is very friendly and happy to chat, which doesn't spoil anything. A small, family-run bakery that ticks all the right boxes!

A very pleasant bakery in the neighborhood that has made its clientele real accustomed. The bread is good and varied and the price is not excessive. A warm and friendly welcome. We get used to it very quickly and we love to return. In addition, you will be tempted by a small pastry, it is 16 hour… Or a generous bakery? An address for small gourmands.

Mamatte is a traditional bakery offering innovative homemade sourdough and specialty breads. It's a pastry shop presenting French classics in generous, shareable slabs. An exceptional all-you-can-eat brunch and coffee corner. It's a caterer of varied, comforting recipes. And above all... it's a "Mademoiselles" bar with croissants topped to the minute with gourmet preparations!

In short, this bakery is a modern gourmet kingdom not to be missed!

The décor is refined and elegant, as if to better emphasize the shapes and colors of the creations of the owner: Marion Desurmont. Passionate, she works the material with talent, whether it is organic flours to realize her breads mixing perfectly soft and crunchy, chocolate that she knows how to balance in creations to fall, or fruits and sweet flavors that she sublimates to perfection in her magnificent pastries.

And of 4 ! In 2022, Cécile Trotreau's know-how is once again recognized by Gault & Millau! As its name indicates, you are not entering a bakery, but a bakery-grocery in bulk-art gallery. Quite a program! Organic flour from the North, organic and as much as possible local ingredients, a homemade leaven... But the most important thing is obviously the taste. A golden and crunchy crust, a soft crumb... : everything is perfect !

A gourmet's Ali Baba's cave! As you enter, you'll be impressed by the sheer quantity of goodies on display behind the windows. It doesn't take long before you're lost for words! Did you come for a sweet treat? Now you're looking at the homemade quiches and hot dogs out of the corner of your eye. Were you looking for something salty? But these shells (the house specialty!) with chocolate chips look devilishly good... A place where having eyes bigger than your belly is a quality! What's more, you'll be greeted with a smile and the prices are very affordable.
