The Saint-Germain bakery counter
Maison Mulot is an independent boulangerie pâtisserie traiteur on Rue de Seine, a few steps from Marché St Germain in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The display case holds a broad spread of pastries, breads, sandwiches and salads.
The almond croissant is the one to get first. The macarons are the ones to choose instead of the famous chains. The pain au chocolat comes in an almond version, and the mushroom quiche, sold by the slice from a large one, is excellent. The Croque-Monsieur Parisien makes a fairly priced meal for two.
There is a small eat-in area by the windows where you can sit and watch the neighbourhood go by. The staff cope with broken French. The shop fills with locals alongside the market crowd.
Prices run from €1 to €10, but watch the eat-in surcharge: the same quiche can cost €6 to take away and €10 to eat in, one of the steepest gaps you will find in a bakery. Takeaway is the better value. The Mont Blanc verrine at €7.50 is generous and well balanced, with subtle chestnut and alcohol notes, and a coffee and croissant can come in under €5.
It suits anyone who wants a Parisian bakery breakfast near the market.
