DUPONT AVEC UN THÉ

Chocolatier
2.9/5
32 reviews
Closed

This tea room is seductive just by its name. Our senses are awakened as soon as we walk through the door. The pastries make your head spin and the madeleines, the shop's flagship product - especially in Cabourg - keep their promise. An emblematic house on the Norman coast, this Dupont "avec un thé" is well established in several cities on the coast, Cabourg, Deauville, Trouville and Dives-sur-Mer, with an undeniable success. In 1990, Jean-Pierre Etienvre, meilleur ouvrier de France, refined the brand and made it a must for all the sweet tooth. The creations are bold, fine and delicious. Certainly, a hot chocolate or a pastry at four o'clock at Dupont's, in the small room on the ground floor, or in the largest one on the first floor, is not cheap. So, each time, we say to ourselves: "It's good for once", while off-loading a few euros off our wallet. Despite the crowds, the staff is charming and bend over backwards to please. How can you resist? Besides, you only have one life with a big "L", right?

LE FOURNIL DE MATHILDE

Bakery
3.5/5
26 reviews
Closed - Open to 06h30

Here's a bakery that is smart! From its easily accessible location, its parking right in front of the store, its opening times and especially its baked breads with wood fire, sandwiches, pastries, and other small salted or sweetened ovens. Not to mention the pizzas that can be ordered at midday and evening at the Caen boutique (only at noon in Hérouville). Personally, we admit a weakness for the Indian sandwich (traditional baguette, chicken, curry, dried tomatoes), whole grain stick whose inimitable taste lingers in the mouth, salted butter caramel crème brûlée (what a delight!) and for macaroons... Others, like the world's great, have trusted Olivier Hamelin, an outstanding baker and owner of Baker, to treat their bread with cider during the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the landing. Respect!

A pastry shop that has become a real institution! A "reference point for people", some would say.... Indeed, the company, born in 1929, knows many celebrities, to whom it dedicates most of its creations. You will find Antoine de Caunes pie, Karl Zéro or Emma cake (De Caunes, too). Beyond their names, whose good taste could be discussed, the pastries themselves are truly delicious! You can also have lunch: quiches, puff pastries, salads... with an excellent tea and of course conclude with a sweet celebration. An essential address, to be tested!

Closed - Open to 12h30

Looking for inspiration? You're bound to find something to please you when you come to the Atelier du Chocolat. The traditional flower bouquet is too old-fashioned, it fades - and to top it all off for the gourmands: you can't eat it! So why not play the card of originality and opt for a chocolate composition instead. Dark like passion, white like purity or milk like tenderness, your sweetheart will undoubtedly be delighted. Take a journey of the senses from Sao Tome to Madagascar, passing through Venezuela. Stop for a bite of raspberry or orange chocolate, take off again to taste almond or hazelnut chocolate. And for the more adventurous, or mischievous, consider taking a piece of chocolate with Espelette chili (there's a reason the parent company is in the Basque Country, in Bayonne). And don't worry, no burning mouth, you will only feel a slight tingling at the end. Cherry on the cake (and not on the chocolate), at l'Atelier du Chocolat, the smile is unbreakable.

When you enter this boutique, a benchmark established in 1978, you're greeted by the sweet smell of yesteryear... All the pastries and confectionery you can imagine. On the shelves, nothing but goodness and quality. A well-known and recognised pastry and chocolate shop, where the Easter and Christmas transitions are brilliantly staged. We also love the candy aisle, where you can rediscover candy canes. Don't leave without the famous Houlgatais (large or small), the house speciality, a perfect blend of meringue and old-fashioned praline. It's all we can say!

The beautiful effect starts with the appearance of the shop. Chocolate tones have an imposing wooden furniture, harmoniously designed by a clever light game, and the appetite for sweets has no difficulty in coming. Then the pleasure of tasting. The macaroons in mind (attention they are not in self-service!), fall into several perfumes: traditional chocolate and raspberry, at the most surprising verbena-lavender, which has our preference. But, of course, you can enjoy other homemade specialities, such as torchettes, or almond patties, just as delicious.

French breakfast means: baguette, croissant and pain au chocolat. And that's where Yan and Pauline come in, since they took over the bakery 2 years ago, "the cherry on top of the breakfast cake": the chocolate praline bread! To try it is to adopt it. Viennese pastries, pastries, especially the Grand-Mère flan, the old-fashioned way with cream and wooden circle. The bread will also delight you: red label flour, natural yeast. Last but not least: the burger buns that will ensure a round of applause at home during the meal.

You will find Monbana products of course as well as new delicacies, each more tempting than the next.

Closed - Open to 06h30

Located on rue Saint-Jean, as indicated by its name (please note, don't mistake it, it's the last right by going to the bridge), this pastry bakery actually reserves some delights, as its name also indicates. Start with bread: if you like cereals, the norlander is to test absolutely (it looks like vollkornbrot, but less compact). Chopsticks, cereals or simple versions are also excellent: It would be a wish! Another wonder: the macaroons (certainly in the top three of the best in Caen!). On the pastry side, even if you don't play the card of refinement with regard to aspects, it's tasty and the little touch of the "homemade has its charm". If quiches and other pizzas also suffer from an unlikely aspect, you can opt for sandwiches. A good plan for a small break, including at lunchtime, because there are high tables. If you are bored, you can always watch passers-by and other car drivers on Rue Saint-Jean…

Discover because they are a little out of the way. It is so rare to find such a good baker as a pastry chef. Special breads are eaten out of sheer greed: seeded string, païsou, and above all the vollkornbrot on Saturdays... The pastries are light and refined (Ah, the Saint-Mathieu with its light cream with praline accents and its biscuit). For dinner on Saturday evening, savoury pastries (puff pastry with finesse) and let them know that they are chocolatiers! Furthermore, for receptions, it is also an address to remember: small savoury pastries, sweets, and other pastries, make your choice!

Here everything is fresh and homemade, from the mayo to the chicken cooked on the spot to the salted butter caramel. We recommend the zebra bread (with coal and corn) as beautiful as good or the macaroons. As for the croissants, they are to die for! Listening to his customers, he adapts to their requests to concoct new recipes like this cookie without hazelnuts or almonds. At the top!

Everything is delicious, from the Tradition to the honey sourdough baguette and the gluten-free recipe. There's also a wide choice of sandwiches, grignettes (sweet or savoury mini-ficelles), pizzas, quiches... On the sweet side, we fall for their pink praline brioche every time! And the viennoiseries, tarts, etc., are a real "killer". In short, it's hard to leave with only your baguette under your arm!

As soon as you enter this promising little shop, you are torn between the colourful and well-stocked shelves and the smile of the saleswoman. About fifty varieties of jams will make your head spin and countless calvados, as the name of the shop announces, will add to your dizziness. The jams are the work of Dame Rhubarbe, a good fairy who officiates a stone's throw from Honfleur, and who only buys her nectars from local producers. Stop on the flower of salt milk jam, much more subtle than salted butter caramel and definitely divine! Calvados are also more than fifty in number, divided between the Domfront tradition - a blend of pear and apple -, the Pays d'Auge PDOs with double distillation, and the classic and essential single-distillation calvados. From this visit, we keep a sweet taste: we dipped our finger in the jars or almost, and the welcome leaves a smile on our lips.

The traditional bread, guaranteed without additives, made from selected yeast and naturally fermented without adding yeast, is a masterpiece. A real top model of bakers' plates that this Paris-Brest (created by Gaëtan Paris, the best worker in France), in its crunchy, soft, golden, authentic crust. Valérie and her husband Jean-François Lemoisson have been in the profession for generations. Her parents had a bakery in Trouville. The Lemoisson family has always been in the hotel-restaurant business - his great-grandmother had even created Hotel Notre-Dame in Bayeux. After several years of training and work in renowned establishments (Bernachon in Lyon, palaces in Switzerland, Caen… among others), they returned to the countryside, "where the great uncle was a colonel of the fire brigade." If you step into this esteemed place of gourmet sweets, you will succumb to some works of art that you will hardly dare to put in your mouth. Saint Ouen (almond meringue with nougatine cream) and the Royal (layered praline with chocolate foam) are two specialties among pastries and other sweet creations that will not leave your taste buds indifferent. Real wonders! Consider "Lemoisson" for your family celebrations!

The story began in 1877. The Witness family is located in the heart of Caen. Master chocolate makers from generation to generation, Witnesses passed the torch in 2007 to Étienne Dolfi (famous for its confectionery establishments at the Mother of Family). However, the original sign has been preserved as well as the specialties of the house: The Toucan (hazelnut pralines with cocoa curved nougatine), True Normands (with calvados), Ladies of Caen (orange paste with orange-flavoured grapes) and of course Caen Bisous (pink chocolate in the form of a mouth, white chocolate foam also flavoured with calvados). Yes, we are well in Normandy and the flagship alcohol of the department is to honour, but rest assured here, it complements and does not overwhelm! And when the winter season arrives, you'll have the opportunity to buy their delicious frozen marestas, certainly they are not cheap, but considering the quality and the short production time of this delicacy, it would be a sacrilege to miss out on it!

Here you'll find confectionery and products from the Chocolaterie du Drakkar. Among the specialties: Bayeux chocolate (hazelnut coated with dark chocolate from Madagascar), Drakkar (a funny little potato shape, but a meringue mousse with praline to die for), Duc Guillaume (with Calvados) and Cans-cans. The latter, dedicated, according to legend, to chatty gourmets visiting the chocolate factory, form a trio of fine champagne ganache, raisin and rum marzipan and Cointreau praline. The list goes on... In 2006, Mr. and Mrs. Hurel opened a small chocolate museum in Nonant (Bayeux exit, opposite Janjac, you can't miss it). The museum is upstairs, the store on the first floor, with a view of the laboratory... How can you resist? It's fine and can be eaten without hunger.

No matter where you are, no matter what your hunger - small or large - this is as important as it is welcome. In the heart of the city centre or in front of the Zenith, the quality is the same. For our part, we are looking for Saint-Pierre Street where the choice is a little more varied and a warmer frame. The building has been hosted by the bakers for a hundred years and has kept its stamp, almost smells. Exposed stones, chandeliers, panelling, a large fireplace, old-fashioned tiles, the shop is of the greatest effect. It contains the entire range: breads (several cooking in the day, which make it possible to have croissants all the time), the fougasses, the benoitons, the sandwiches (can be eaten on the ground with the formula of the debout), the pastries (the sugar pie… yum), the small salted or sweet furnaces and other pastries (chocolate fluffy, really mellow). At the Zenith, if weather permits, you can enjoy the terrace. We are still cracking for the cramique, the speciality of the North and Belgium (that with sugar…) and the square to the cream, a thousand sheet, without laminated in the middle, but with much more cream! Everything to soothe the greatest and immediate gourmet desires. "Greed begins when you are no longer hungry," said Alphonse Daudet. A wise word to meditate by regaling! Still a small bite?

The second shop established at 5, rue Eugène Maës (also accessible by Detolle boulevard) makes tobacco and is well-deserved. It must be said that in this famous house, they know how to make bread, so taste the crisp wand Father Toulorge (wheat, malt, and leaven flour) or the Zélie with three crusts and its flour with the delicate hazelnut taste to convince you. In the case of pastries with Isigny PDO butter or pastries, you can only recommend them too: Sumatra (brownie biscuits, feuilletine, creamy and black chocolate foam) and the other 3 chocolates are excellent, the Tahiti with exotic sweetness (Bavarian vanilla and white chocolate, red fruit jelly, and pistachio biscuit) will delight you and not to mention the delicate dessert cassis purple, in the shape of the ear, enhanced by a white cheese point, if not pleasantly surprised by its taste buds. For a quick and cheap meal - useful when time is running - the midi formula with a sandwich, drink, and dessert proves to be a very efficient and smart plan. Think about it...

With a shop and a workshop located in Lisieux, Emmanuel and Emmanuelle had the good idea to extend their fame to Pont-l'Evêque. The chocolates come straight from their artisanal factory in Lisieux, where visits to the workshop are organised, allowing you to discover the secrets of their specialities. The praline macaroon made with soaps remains their undeniable success, but they are constantly renewing their gourmet creativity: chocolate and pure alcohol, nougat almond pastes and a new box called "Pont-l'Evêque", which is presented as a box of cheese to share. More than forty kinds of chocolates to make and create personalised compositions in this small chewable address. Their passion is unfailing and their chocolates will melt the amateurs.

There are places that go unnoticed, where you don't even push open the door! This bakery is a perfect example. Here, Charlotte and Pierrick give pride of place to the art of the homemade sandwich. Their experience in fine establishments enables them to offer a varied selection of sandwiches. Even traditional dishes have their own sandwich version. The bakery also offers divine viennoiseries, including the squirrel's nest, and organic breads with original flavors.
