M. Friaa Au Vieux Moulin — Specialty Store in Bercy, Paris

M. Friaa Au Vieux Moulin is an independent bakery on Rue Erard in Bercy, and the first thing you notice is that the counter runs on Tunisian savory baking as much as on French bread. The neighborhood's station is Reuilly — Diderot, and the shop sits among the streets between Gare de Lyon and that stop.

Start with the fricassés, fried sandwiches in the Maghreb style, the sort of thing you eat standing up: they cost around €3 and are the reason to seek the place out. The olive and cheese bread is €1, a savory loaf you can carry away for a picnic. Batbuts, small stuffed savory breads, sit alongside them, and the plain bread holds up too.

This is a bakery counter rather than a sit-down place, though there are tables outside where you can take a coffee. Expect a traditional, unfussy shop: you order at the counter, take what is wrapped, and go.

Prices stay low across the board, from the €1 olive and cheese bread to the €3 fricassés, which makes it easy to try several things in one visit. Mornings from 6:30 am are when the bread is at its best; Friday is the day it stays closed.

It suits anyone hunting Tunisian savory baking at a low price rather than a polished patisserie stop.
