The best pastry shops Drôme

It's the kingdom of chocolate and pogne! An address of excellence that delights sweet tooths. It was in 1891 that Jean-Pierre Lionneton opened the first Lionneton bakery in Ardèche. The company has continued to exist without ever renouncing its origins and its traditional, artisanal pastry, chocolate and bakery work. The range of chocolates and pastries is an enchantment for the palate as well as for the eyes. The pogne de Romans is among the best in the appellation area and the bread menu is just as good. More than one reason to stop by.

Founded in 1964 by Jean-Charles Giraud, and later joined by his son Louis, this gourmet brand welcomes us to its attractive boutique just down the boulevard. Maison Giraud is renowned for its pastries, chocolates and ice creams, as well as its catering service. The Giraud patisserie also combines a downtown tea room with a renowned catering service. In a hurry at lunchtime? Try the menu of the day with salad, dish of the day and pastries, on the terrace if the weather's fine, or on the mezzanine, in the warmth of the interior.

An exceptional house that now has three addresses in Montélimar, in the city centre and on the outskirts. Here you can find good cakes, bread, chocolate, and of course nougat: from traditional recipes to more daring creations. During the Christmas holidays, you can even order the basket of the 13 Christmas desserts. The whole is run by a pastry chef-chocolate maker-confectioner awarded a diploma of Best Worker in France. The plus: possibility to order online. Good to know: the boutique route de Marseille is open 7 days a week.

In the heart of the city, you can find a great choice of homemade cakes - including a variety of cookies, cookies, pastries, tartlets… - or low-quality artisanales. Chocolate achievements are also to recommend a new welcome to indigestible indigestible.

Beautiful brick architecture, bay windows and an arbour terrace for this Maison Guillet store, run by Lou and César Guillet (^3rd generation). Committed to the bakery tradition, La Fabrique offers long opening hours, top-of-the-range pastries, fresh viennoiseries and a savoury range of quality snacks. The bread is often organic, always made with natural sourdough and local flours, and the result of slow kneading and long fermentation. And the 3 bars of chocolate in the pain au chocolat are the hallmark of this gourmet house!

A renowned patissier-chocolatier-glacier and a gourmet address well worth a visit. In 2021, Franck Broyer gave way to one of his employees, who has successfully taken over the business, respecting the original quality. The store window is a real eye-opener. Individual cakes, entremets to share, chocolates, macaroons, order cakes... One thing's for sure: you won't leave without your selection of gourmet treats. We always recommend this fine patisserie with the same conviction.

A collection of pure butter sweet cookies and pure olive oil savory crackers with seeds, 100% organic and handcrafted, using mostly local ingredients: that's the commitment of this young gourmet brand that set up shop in Grane, in the Crestois region. Since then, we've been enjoying the crunchy little squares as aperitifs, with pumpkin or black cumin seeds, chocolate and sunflower seeds, lemon and poppy, lavender and many other flavors. Shortbread can be eaten in one bite, and so can crackers!

This is one of 4 Pascalis addresses specializing in Romans pogne. The company has been in existence since 1892. It is also present in Romans, as it should be, and in Bourg-de-Péage (new address in Chanas-Corson). A house that knows how to handle orange blossom and praline, butter and marshmallow. Sweet versions of the great local traditions, such as the pogne de Romans and the suisse de Valence, a famous shortbread available in different sizes, as well as the saint-genix and the craqueline, are the stars here. On-site: a pogne museum (free).
