Terroirs d'Avenir - Review - 2nd Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation
"Sourcing for the world’s best picnic is easy on rue du Nil, where Terroirs d’Avenir’s specialty butcher, fishmonger, cheesemonger, and greengrocer are shoulder-to-shoulder on the picturesque cobbled alley. Their cozy bakery is packed with country loaves and viennoiseries, including one of Paris’ best kouign amanns, a buttery Breton creation so rich it’ll drench the paper bag you bought it in faster than you can say kouign amann. You’ll also find a wide variety of dense sourdough breads like the pain du Nil with a close crumb that makes it ideal for toasties. Do not skip the "crousti-flan," a mini flan with a pastry base so sticky it’s basically solid caramel." - Emily Monaco
