Bread, eclairs and birthday cakes on Boulevard Ornano
Boulangerie Patîsserie la Régale is an independent bakery and pastry shop on Boulevard Ornano, in Clignancourt, with Simplon station serving the neighbourhood. You walk in and find a small counter space: breads on one side, a pastry display alongside, sandwiches for a quick bite.
The bread is the reason to come back. The baguette holds up, and the fruit bread is superb; the traditional loaves sit next to whole wheat, rye and spelt versions, so you can leave with something denser than a baguette for the trip home. The pistachio eclairs are the thing to ask for late in the day, and the staff will confirm halal when you ask about pork fat, alcohol or gelatin.
Cakes are where the money goes furthest. They are priced reasonably and are the obvious pick for a birthday, with value that is hard to beat for the size. Sandwiches are good and inexpensive, which makes this a straightforward stop when you want lunch without sitting down.
Prices sit in the €1–10 band, with bread and sandwiches at the low end and cakes climbing toward the top. Wednesday is the closed day, so plan around it if you are making a special trip for a birthday cake.
