Pastries, a terrace and a Passy address
Chez Meunier is a bakery and pastry shop on Avenue Victor Hugo in Passy. It opens at 7 am every day, Sunday included.
The croissant is what to buy first: a plain one with an authentic flavour that regulars pair with their morning coffee. Beyond it the case runs to a chocolate babka, an almond croissant described as generous, a mille-feuille, a lemon tart and the pistachio flan that stands out among the cakes. The savoury side includes sandwiches, with vegetarian options, and a beetroot salad. The bread is priced high for the neighbourhood, so the pastry case is where the money goes furthest.
You order at the counter for takeaway, or take a seat on the terrace and wait for a server.
A small hazelnut sandwich runs to €3.10, a mini tuna sandwich €7.90, a savoury croissant €9.50, three doughnuts €12.90, a set menu around €10.50 with small supplements on the drink. A raspberry doughnut alone comes to €4.50, and the set menu drink carries a supplement of 50 to 70 cents.

Almond croissant
A lunchtime visitor described the almond croissant as generous, and it came served with a smile.

Who is this for
Travellers staying in Passy who want a proper croissant and a coffee at 7 am will find this a good start to the day. Anyone with a sweet tooth should come for the pastry case. If you would rather sit on a terrace than carry a bag, the tables are there.
If you need to fill a fridge rather than buy a pastry, Bien Epicerie Bio - Paris 16 on Rue de la Pompe is the organic grocery for a proper shop.
The verdict
The pastry case and the 7 am opening are worth the trip, but with sandwiches at €7.90 and €9.50, it suits an early takeaway croissant far better than a sit-down lunch.
