A Montmartre bakery worth the detour
Chez Carla is an independent bakery and pâtisserie on Rue Marguerite de Rochechouart in Montmartre, and the first thing you notice is the pastry case: trays of viennoiseries and cakes laid out with real care, plus a small terrace and a few tables where you can sit down with a coffee.
The croissant is the thing to order first: light, airy and buttery, the kind you finish before you reach the door. The pain au chocolat holds its own at breakfast. Baguettes are soft and flavourful, and the filled ones, ham and cheese among them, are crisp, generously filled and good value at lunch. In the sweet case, the raspberry macaron is named more than once, and the apricot tart and raspberry heart pastry are worth pointing at.
The shop is small and intimate: a counter, a pastry case, a handful of tables inside and out on a small square. Service runs warm and helpful, with English and Portuguese spoken behind the counter.
Prices stay reasonable for what you get: a filled baguette makes a cheap lunch, and pastries and bread cost little enough that you can build a picnic from the case. Come on a weekday morning if you want the terrace to yourself.
This suits anyone staying in Montmartre who wants breakfast, a sandwich lunch and a box of macarons to carry home.

Pain au chocolat
It is the breakfast order here, and the flavour holds up.
Filled baguette sandwiches
Ham and cheese and the other filled baguettes are crisp, generously filled and good value for lunch.
Macarons
There is variety and flavour across the macarons, and the raspberry one gets named more than once.

Who is this for
Anyone staying in Montmartre who wants breakfast within walking distance will find the croissant and pain au chocolat reason enough to make this the morning stop. If you are packing a lunch for the climb up to the butte, a filled baguette here is crisp, generous and cheap. And if you want something sweet to carry home, the macarons come in packaging that travels well.
If you want to build a picnic around seasonal produce rather than pastry, Marché d'Anvers on Place d'Anvers sets up its stalls on Friday afternoons.
The verdict
The croissant and the filled sandwiches still make it a worthwhile stop for anyone staying in Montmartre.
