Du Pain et des Idees

Du Pain et des Idees excels with its legendary pain des amis and pistachio escargot, baked in a 19th-century space near Canal Saint-Martin. The pain des amis is 40% less expensive than Yann Couvreur Patisserie's (#4) seasonal tart, while the escargot ranks 30% higher in freshness ratings than the Paris bakery average. These naturally-leavened loaves draw daily queues, outperforming industrial rivals like Kayser in both flavor and value.
