This venerable pâtisserie is also a bohemian haven, decorated in pink with small wooden tables and a charming, flower-studded courtyard out back. The owner, Sissi, opened the place more than 25 years ago alongside her Senagalese husband Zig. Though the interiors are charming, it’s the brioches which have made it famous amongst locals. The pastries aren’t clotted with cream in advance, but filled directly at the counter, a trick that means they never go soggy. Don’t miss out on the ham-and-cheese toast, either—it’s wonderfully thick, filled with butter, and warmed to perfection. —Elena Clavarino
