Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Amiens

Ah, at last a decent bakery in the city center! Previously, the Amiens inhabitants had to buy poor quality baguettes that quickly become stale, and in addition, quite expensive. But Nature de Pain has recently arrived and has considerably raised the level. The bakery, a depository of the brand's main store, located at the exit of the city and therefore not very convenient to access, will have no difficulty in delighting gourmet people eager to buy good bread and why not, some pastries. And furthermore, it will be a pleasure because you will be welcomed with a smile most of the time!

The Belgian specialist known for its white-coated chocolates, although all the chocolates (and there are dozens and dozens of references) stamped with the brand are good. Léonidas is present all over France, so it's not a small artisan chocolatier, but it does have real know-how. Numerous assortments to offer. You can also enjoy ice cream, one of the best things you can do on a long summer's day or a long winter's evening.

Here, the vendors offer and detail homemade chocolates in all their forms and flavours. Everything is made from the finest ingredients in the back shop of this luxury chocolate factory. In the summer, you can sit on the small terrace in front of the shop window. Stéphane Bisson, a pastry chef and chocolatier, is the one who works in the laboratory. Although the concept was originally all chocolate, the range has gradually expanded to include pastries and a delicatessen section with the emblematic Picard cake. Always at the top of the line. Stéphane Bisson's pleasure is also to train apprentices and give them the taste and passion for well-made chocolate..

Le Petit Poucet has been a friendly institution since 1956.

It is in a former mansion that Hubert Fournier, the pastry chef, has installed his creations. The pleasure is both visual and gustatory. As you contemplate the shop windows, you're dying to taste the dozens of pastries that are bursting with colour and flavour, such as the red fruit charlotte or the gourmet chiboust. We also fall for macaroons and chocolates with a variety of flavours, as well as iced desserts such as raspberry vacherin.

This family-run business, renowned in the region, has built its reputation on its famous macarons d'Amiens.

A very popular address during the festive season, as much for admiring the shop window as for shopping!

Mamatte bakeries and pastry shops are now a must in Amiens and Longueau (1, avenue de l'Arc). Here, it is not by salesmen that you are welcomed but by "pamperers" who bear their name well!

There is a nice selection of breads, made every morning on the spot, cakes, pastries but also sandwiches, pies, salads, to accompany you throughout the day. You can also sit down in the bright and pleasant dining room. More than a bakery, a real place to live where good food is king!

Le Comptoir de Mathilde is coming to Amiens. Admittedly, with nearly 80 stores, the brand is no longer truly artisanal, but it has imposed its universe: vintage and slightly retro decorations, a colorful and acidulous atmosphere, and above all an infinite choice of sweets with a playful presentation. Because Le Comptoir de Mathilde offers a vast choice of chocolate "to be broken" with a small wooden hammer, or simply in bars; without forgetting the marshmallows, candies, spreads... The chocolate offer is completed by two grocery departments, savory and sweet. Pretty boxes and assortments are also available. Something to offer or to treat yourself to a nice gourmet gift.

A true chocolate prodigy, Nicolas Haag makes us dream with his chocolate creations. For 22 years, he was the head chocolatier at Le Petit Poucet, an institution in Amiens, before launching his own adventure, first in Plachy-Buyon. The opening of the Amiens store enabled him to make himself known and recognised. With Anne-Sophie, his wife, who joined him 11 years ago, they are keen to pass on their passion. In the shop, there are chocolates to be tasted and dessert chocolate. Several pastries are added to these sweets such as the "Amandina" made with pistachios and morello cherries. Note that Nicolas also offers training courses.
