A Monday bakery in Montmartre
La Baguette Gourmande is an independent specialty shop on Rue Ordener, in Montmartre, and the first thing to know is that it keeps a single trading day: Monday, 9 am to 9 pm. Everything else about a visit follows from that. You come on a Monday or you don't come at all, and the neighbourhood's regulars build their week around it.
The traditional baguette is the item to buy first, a loaf with a crust that holds and an interior worth tearing at the counter. The chocolate baguette is the sweet counterpart, a baguette with chocolate worked through it, and it is the thing to carry away if you want something you cannot buy in most bakeries. For lunch, the Caesar salad is made in-house rather than poured from a tub, and the chicken sandwich is a substantial one.
Beyond the bread, the counter carries quiches, tarts and pastries, and a pistachio flan is worth leaving room for. The shop works as a bakery counter with lunch served alongside, so you can buy a baguette, sit down for a salad, and leave with a tart for later. It is a small operation rather than a roomy one.
Spending stays modest: a few items land in the €5–20 band, and a baguette and a pastry is the cheapest way to eat well here. Because there is only one day of trading, the sensible move is to come early enough in the day that the full range is still in front of you, and to treat a Monday lunch as the main event rather than an errand.
If you want a baguette worth the trip and a homemade lunch to go with it, the single Monday is a small price.

The pick list
What to bring home
Traditional baguette
The traditional baguette is the reason to come here, and it holds up as one of the best in Paris.
Chocolate baguette
The chocolate baguette is a sweet take on the classic, and one regular calls it magnificent and worth the trip on its own.
Caesar salad
At lunch the Caesar salad is a strong order, and it tastes homemade.
Pistachio flan

Chicken sandwich
The chicken sandwich is the one to get first if you are stopping in for lunch.
Who is this for
This shop suits a traveler who plans a day around one bakery and wants a baguette worth crossing town for, with lunch in the same stop. It also suits anyone staying near Montmartre who would rather eat a homemade Caesar salad and a pistachio flan at a counter than sit down for a full restaurant meal.
If you want to shop for fresh produce and artisanal goods rather than buy bread and lunch, Marché Ordener on the same street holds its market on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
The verdict
With only Monday trading, this is a bakery to fit around a single visit rather than a daily habit, which is exactly what suits a traveler who wants one good baguette and a homemade lunch.
