Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Route de la soie

It's worth waiting until the end of the week and getting up early (there won't be enough for everyone), to savor the breads of Bastien Malugani. A committed baker who puts his heart and soul into his work. High-quality raw materials: pure organic cereal flour, unrefined Guérande salt, churned butter... The tedious work is made up of tricks of the hand, know-how and a raw, refined passion to be shared between two bags of flour. The Canuses baguettes are magical, as are the traboules, the seasonal fruit tarts to die for, as are the kouign-amann or kannelbullar and the croissants that would get anyone out of bed.

Tonolo is a historical pastry shop, a discreet storefront that has existed since the late ^19th century. Naturally, it is also one of the Venetians' favorites! You can come here to enjoy a coffee with a delicious slice of cream pie, or to take away some sweets, chocolate, pistachio, or cherry or apricot jam cakes. Tonolo's specialties include meringue cake andfrittelle (sugar doughnuts), which are celebrated during Carnival. A real treat!

Voisin is quite simply the first French artisanal chocolate factory founded in 1897, a true Living Heritage Company. The fourth generation of artisan chocolate makers perpetuates the best of the tradition, from the bean to the bar. The house's must-haveis the Coussin de Lyon, a delicious delicacy of incredible finesse. In the many shops in town: Sarment du Beaujolais, Quenelle de Lyon, candied oranges and many other specialities such as Palets. Neighbour: one of the big names in Lyon.

Antoinette makes our heads spin! Born in the ^7th arrondissement of Lyon, the queen of breads - not baguettes, but real breads at Antoinette's - continues to expand her gourmet kingdom, with 4 boutiques in Lyon, including a new one on Avenue des Frères Lumière. All you have to do is bite into a slice of homemade sourdough bread or a piece of rye bread to experience ecstasy. Crunchy crusts, melt-in-your-mouth crumbs, pure pleasure. Individual or shared brioches, not forgetting the brioche des reines.

Of course, this name is not unknown to you. This Swiss pride - the company was created in 1845 in Zürich by the confectioner David Sprüngli before settling in Berne by buying the Rudolf Lindt chocolate factory - never misses to attract the eye of the gourmands on the shelves of our supermarkets with his famous chocolate tablets (ah, the Lindt double milk…) and children with their eggs and other rabbits to the golden bell of Easter. But why a Lindt shop in the VIP square of shopping in Lyon? Because the brand of Swiss chocolate makers is also in excellence. Of course, we can spoil ourselves with many chocolates and homemade creations of exotic flavours - exclusives are in the shop - but at the Lindt shop, you can also enjoy the fountains of pure fondant chocolate by settling at the Chocolate Bar (hot chocolate of course, smoothies, pastries and ice-cream made from Lindt chocolate). In short, all the know-how of a great chocolate maker available to all Lyonnais.

With its vintage decor, it's a favorite of locals and tourists looking for a good ice cream and a break on the quays of Dorsoduro. It's not the trendiest place, but it's a treat! Now's the time to order the local delicacy: gianduiotto, a chocolate specialty swimming in whipped ice cream. Then, with the Zattere as your terrace, you can relax on a blue and aluminum chair and enjoy the sunset over Giudecca, for example.

The Bernachon family, represented by the excellent Philippe Bernachon, has been spreading the word about chocolate in Lyon for over 70 years, perpetuating the tradition of chocolate-making from A to Z, from cocoa bean to bar. In a recently refurbished boutique, complete with cocoa bean world map, gourmets can feast their eyes on exceptional chocolates, such as the mythical Palet d'or, with crème fraîche and dark chocolate enriched with gold leaf, a mouthful of pure happiness, or the unmissable Président, a signature cake. The most cocoa-loving of addresses.

This family business, a veritable institution, now has sales outlets abroad. It is known for its loukoums which are considered to be among the best in the city with their amazing aromas: sesame, orange, mint or resin. Loukoums with kaymak (buffalo milk) are a speciality of the house, while pistachio loukoum remains the most popular. Their shape, more or less regular, proves to us that they are handmade. The rates are displayed. Good to know: you can buy them at the Duty Free at both airports.

Another mouth-watering ice cream shop. In a charming square of the same name, very lively in the evening, here's another good address not far from the Palazzo Ducale, where you can enjoy artisan gelati (prepared without colorants or preservatives). A fine range of chocolate (milk, dark, melting...), nocciola (hazelnut cream), gianduja, almond, macadamia nut or custard... But also refreshing Sicilian granitas. The welcome is warm and friendly, even late into the night on weekend evenings.

There's nothing better than creating a joyful, gourmet universe in a small cake! The Little Petits Gâteaux team will be delighted to help you personalize your cakes. In the Ainay district, a tea room which, despite its half-French, half-English name, claims its "French touch". The real tour de force of this team of pastry enthusiasts is to make cakes that are too beautiful, including the dizzyingly shaped "Layers Cakes", and too delicious to eat. Never nauseating, the cakes are made with fresh, natural ingredients. Colorful, fragrant, disguised, from small or giant cupcakes to custom-made wedding cakes, there's a huge, delicious choice.

This great glacier in the modern garden also has its followers. It certainly offers the largest choice of perfumes from all over the city, including a dozen different chocolates, from ice to yoghurt, soy… But beware of the line, many are prepared for cream (not milk!).

It is the oldest glacier in the city, it has existed since 1880! A reason to get lost in this little tourist district around Piazza Vittorio Emanuele. The Romans love its homemade ice cream and many will tell you that it is one of the best glaciers in the city. In our opinion, Fassi's advantage lies more in its very large premises, which allow you to sit down and take a well-deserved break before heading for Termini!

Without a doubt the best baklavacı in the city. If you want to taste baklava, then you should go to Karaköy's shop. We recommend pistachio, walnut and chocolate ones. If you plan to bring some back to France, employees can pack them for you so they won't get damaged during the trip. Other franchises of the same brand have been opened in Istanbul in the Taksim and Üsküdar districts among others, but the Karaköy franchise offers more choice and is considered THE original store.

It is a mythical address, known to all Romans who come to the historic store behind the San Giovanni gate to taste the specialty: tiramisù. At Pompi's, they prepare it with coffee, of course, but also with banana, strawberry, pistachio or walnut. Purists might cringe and cry heresy, but it's not. Whether you prefer the classic or the twist, Pompi's tiramisù is simply excellent. Other stores in Rome, including one near Piazza di Spagna and one near the Trevi Fountain.

The Dromel Ainé House, founded in 1760, is one of the oldest chocolate confectioners in Marseille. A real institution that has become a must for the holidays and Easter but not only. The cocoa beans are selected for their character and flavour. You will also find here coffees roasted on the spot, excellent teas, the inimitable marrons glacés from Corsiglia, candied fruits, nougats, calissons... A real temple of delicacies in the greatest Provencal tradition!

Now a ubiquitous ice cream shop in Italy, Grom has not given in to the excesses of mass distribution. The principle is simple and rigorous: fresh and seasonal products for this establishment with a pure and modern design. The gelati, whose flavors change with the seasons, are simply exquisite. Its crema di Grom (custard with cookie chips and chocolate chips) has become its iconic flavor. In winter, don't miss the opportunity to try the creamy hot chocolate. Four addresses in the heart of the lagoon.

Founded in 1977, Maison Bouillet has evolved with the know-how and creativity of Sébastien, who has reinvented patisserie with new shapes, new colors and new flavors. Creative patisserie with no limits, real jewels that make you fall in love with them every time you visit: St Ho caramel and vanilla, Baba Too Baba and Crème d'ange that change with the seasons, Lyon-Tokyo, Chiffon Cake... The E-boutique and the numerous addresses (9 in all) are practical ways to sample all the delights of Sébastien Bouillet.

What characterises this bakery is first of all a remarkable welcome and a variety of breads. Every day, there are different breads coming out of the furnaces. Bread in sausage and red wine, figatelli, flax seeds, figs… We also offer very good pastries, but those which must not be missed under any pretext call Royal Chocolate and Chocolate Pear Mousse.

The first bakery to be awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label in 2016 for its bread-making expertise, Maison Pozzoli is part of Lyon's gourmet heritage. A family-run business since 1977, François Pozzoli is one of the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (Best Craftsmen in France), and has passed on his passion to a whole team spread across the 5 stores in Lyon. 100% artisanal production for traditional French baguettes, Auvergne rye bread, T80 bread, machodine - the house specialty - as well as viennoiseries and a dream panettone. Click&collect service in Vaise and Gerland, so you don't have to waste time at lunchtime. Tradition and modernity.

Still an old and known Pâtisserie pastry. Here we specialize in milk-based desserts, including good struck. In winter, taste the famous sahlep, a drink based on orchid. Born in the 1950 s, it is a real institution. It is customary to get there after dinner for dessert. The best Baklava in the city.

Pleasure... this is a word that we love and love more when it refers to sweetness! The Vaise district is home to some really great addresses, including this Plaisir Sucré run by master craftsman F. Breniaux. In a charmingly decorated setting, he offers us, from the outside, quality sandwiches (homemade with homemade bread), but above all sweets that make us happy: homemade ice cream made with local fruit, sweet and savoury macaroons, chocolate candies, candied fruit, cakes (including a new one every month) and a whole range of chocolates nicely packaged in gourmet boxes. An address recommended by Le Futé for every day when you want to treat yourself!

A relatively recent address, distilling new flavours here, notably the baguette, which is very French, between Opéra and Place de France, where all the capital's bobos and expats are crowded. Offering a wide variety of fresh breads, you can stop there, a few tables are waiting for you, as there is enough to make a gourmet break with various sandwiches, quiches and other omelettes, before leaving with your baguette under your arm. The success was such that the sign has opened another address at 37 avenue Mesrop Machtots.

With two locations in Marseille, including the historic Panier, Glacier du Roi has built up a fine reputation over the years. With its production laboratory visible from the store, the emphasis is on the artisanal side of production, with inspiring flavours: turnip, apricot verbena, mango... Sorbets and ice creams are available in scoops and cups, as well as in large quantities with containers so you can take them home with you. The only snag, and not the least, is that the prices are not cheap, being higher than those of other artisanal producers in Marseille. And yet there's an explosion of flavors in these ice creams, which lack a little taste. As for the addition of Chantilly cream, billed at two euros, not to mention the plastic cups which, while attractive, are thrown away once the scoop is finished, it's all a bit clumsy and not too up to date ecologically speaking on the last point. A great success thanks to its location and the many tourists in the area.

This ice-cream parlour and patisserie delights the inhabitants of the Monti district with its Sicilian sweets. In addition to the ice creams, the island's cakes are also very popular:cassata siciliana, cioccolato di Modica, pasticini di mandorla... made with almonds and ricotta, this is a culinary voyage in itself! As all this is very sweet, and you can't always over-indulge in the good stuff (and in Italy, that's much harder than elsewhere!), miniature versions are also available. Another in Rome, via Labicana 126/128, not far from the Colosseum.

On the road to the station, the glacier il Gelatone is a compulsory step for those who are preparing to leave Venice. In this way, you will leave with the sweet memories of sesame, honey and pink grapefruit scents. 

The Riederer confectionery and pastry shop first became famous in Aix-en-Provence, as Frantz Riederer left his native Switzerland in 1780 to open his first tea shop. From now on, in addition to this address in Marseille, two other Riederer boutiques are located in Gardanne and Aix-en-Provence, to the delight of all the gourmands of the department, where the brand offers the tasty creations of chef Emmanuel Schljck in both pastry and catering. The shop on the Avenue de Mazargues is bright and chic. You can buy excellent chocolate for all occasions. Everything is still produced locally next to Aix.

While France remains one of the lands of pastry -and Rue Paul-Bert has at least a famous one…-, the United States is the land of pastry. Often, when travelling to the States, in New York, you wonder why one of these famous bakeries has not opened yet in our neighbourhood. So, that's done two steps from the train station of Part-Dieu with Dorodi Pastry, whose specialty is donut. Donut, it is a little like in our country the eclair or doughnut, a real inexhaustible source of little pleasures that do not really help to lose weight but are so much fun! Donuts in tens with seasonal flavours, but the dark chocolate is timeless in our opinion, muffins and cookies that are each better than the last, as well as gourmet cheesecakes to enjoy with a homemade lemonade. The only concern is that we must keep coming back to taste everything! Note that we can find Dorodi and the charming Myriam on the markets (Croix-Rousse, Quai Saint-Antoine).

Hafiz Mustafa was founded in 1864 in Istanbul. This sign is now very popular with tourists as it offers all the variations of the famous turkish delights. All Turkish specialties are rather good, choose the classics: pistachio baklavas, trileçe (soft raspberry or caramel cake) or milk-based desserts such as sütlaç (rice pudding), kazandibi (chicken breast pudding). When it comes to cakes, you have to like cream... The company has a shop in Sultanhamet and Taksim.

Located in the Vaults of Cathédrale de la Major and beside the MUCEM, Gélateria Major is the new gourmet break of la Joliette. You can choose betweeen 29 flavours of ice creams of which some are made with organic milk, to enjoy in cups, pots or cornets, but also pancakes, waffles, coffee, chocolate and refreshements (smoothies). You can also take your ice creams away and taste them while walking or at your home thanks to the isothermal trays. Homemade ice-creams are manufactured by an Italian ice cream maker with 30 years of experience. Recipes which exude Italy, taste the Stracciatella ice cream! Do not miss either the Rocher ice cream, the Coconut-Mint or Mojito... A warm welcome and magnificent view!

Winners of the 2023 competition for the best traditional French baguette in the Rhône region, head baker Valentin Leemans and apprentice Lucas Cognard of Boulangerie des Canuts can be proud of their achievement. And we're off to this spacious and charming bakery to savor this delicious baguette, and many other traditional French breads - tourte auvergnate, croiroussin... Extra bugnes, delicious pastries, cakes for every occasion, it's a permanent treat. Another breakfast delight: Lyon's best croissants! Sandwiches, salads and tarts for the hungry. A gourmet address to be discovered as a matter of urgency.

Along the Rio Terà San Leonardo, this sweet haven is the best surprise before or after a long walk in Cannaregio. Venetians stop here for a coffee, a brioche or a spritz at the counter, but also for delicious slices of pizza to be enjoyed at any time of the day. Meringues, nougats, marzipan and dry cakes are also on the menu, each one tastier than the last. And during the holiday season, each time of year has its own cake: fugassa at Christmas and chiacchiere at Carnival, for example.

Straight into Piazza Navona, an address that, behind its tourist mask, hides an authentic soul and a well justified reputation: its frozen tartufo (chocolate ice cream covered with biscuit, cream and cocoa powder) is the best in Rome. To be enjoyed on the terrace, if you are willing to pay the price

Charles Menetrier, who took over this veritable neighborhood institution, and Rolande do their job with rigor and passion. Their wholehearted character is reflected in the quality of the breads offered in this bakery, which has retained its old-world charm (watch your step on the way in...), with cement tiles on the floor, stained glass windows and old stonework. Breads made with organic flours, traditional breads and corn bread specialties. Pastries and viennoiseries of the same quality, for a treat from breakfast to afternoon tea, with homemade bugnes for example.

A very traditional gelateria where the ice cream is made in front of you, behind a window. There is a wide choice of flavours, from the most classic (pure chocolate, pistachio, stracciatella...) to the most original (white chocolate with basil, raspberries and sage or lavender and white peach). Fruit ice creams are also particularly recommended, such as Amalfi silt, organic lemon ice cream from the Amalfi coast. A good gelateria in the center. Another address in Rome, along the Tiber, lungotevere dei Vallati, 25.

To get the day off to a good start, nothing beats a good cappuccino accompanied by an Italian pastry! The more classic will opt for a cornetto, but if you want to try a Roman specialty, the maritozzo (a brioche filled with whipped cream) is the one to go for, as it's very good here. 60 years of experience for this great bar, which is also the perfect place to take a break before or after a long visit to the Vatican Museums. For lunch, pasta, pizza and salads are served on the go.

Sève has been in the blood of the Lyonnais since... 1905. Richard Sève, one of France's finest chocolatiers, is a member of the respected Relais Desserts association. A firm believer in tradition, one of the few craftsmen to make his own chocolate from bean to bar, Richard Sève is a trendsetter with creations that follow the rhythm of the seasons. Maison Sève is also the sublimation of Lyon specialties such as the red praline tart and the delicious pierres des Monts-d'Or (flaky praline coated with a royal meringue). Musco Chocolate Museum in Limonest.

For the "old-timers", Jocteur remains the "official" baker of Paul Bocuse and one of the great masters of the tarte à la praline. Jocteur perpetuates the best of tradition. Beautiful glass roof opening onto a terrace, wood, a beautiful frieze, everything reminds us of the quality of yesteryear. A quality to be found in the breads, but also in the cakes, starting with the famous praline tarts. Breakfast for lovers and afternoon tea for the family.

What you're about to taste in Romaric Boilley's 3 Lyonnais boutiques and Tassin store is unique! Head for Les Brotteaux to discover the historic address of Délices des Sens, where the chef created his gourmet universe of exacting standards, excellence and originality from quality ingredients, almost 20 years ago. Starting with macaroons, especially those with salted butter caramel or homemade dark chocolate, unmissable specialties. Then there's 100% homemade desserts, including praline tarts and seasonal fruit tarts, as well as chocolates, spreads, cakes and ice creams... So many gourmet pleasures to savor.

A large choice of traditional Greek yoghurts, plain, with fresh fruit, with honey, for a gourmet, original and refreshing break. Made from cow's milk, goat's milk or sheep's milk, light or creamy, taste the authentic and traditional Greek yogurt. Dip your spoon into the pots of glika tou koutaliou, these candied fruits in a light sugar syrup to flavor your yogurt. Beyond the classics, you can also refresh yourself with a tangerine or chocolate flavoured yoghurt smoothie.
