A counter bakery in Batignolles
Boulangerie Eveil is an independent bakery on Rue Legendre in Batignolles, the kind of shop where the bread and the brioche sit behind a counter and you order as you go. What you notice first is the range of brioche, several kinds at once, which is more than most bakeries in the area put out.
The chocolate-filled brioche is the one to buy: a soft bun with chocolate chips through the dough and a chocolate centre inside, the sort of thing that explains the queue. The croissant is flaky and properly coloured, and the pain au chocolat carries a chocolate filling that tastes more bitter and cocoa-rich than usual. The chocolate flan is dense and deeply chocolatey, and the sesame spelt bread holds its own among the loaves.
The traditional baguette is the everyday buy, crisp-crusted with an airy crumb, and it still sells for one euro when other bakeries have gone past that. Breads and pastries are handed over the counter, and the pace is quick when the shop is not full.
Prices stay low for the neighbourhood: a croissant, a brioche and a slice of chocolate flan came to under seven euros, and a slice of flan is around €2.70. If you want a large quantity, say so ahead of time rather than turning up late and clearing the shelf.
Come for the brioche and the baguette, and the shop suits you fine.
