Mitron Bakery

Mirton Bakery in Menton is a small but worthwhile stop for anyone who appreciates well‑crafted pastries. We tried two different citron cakes, and both were genuinely delightful — perfectly balanced, neither too sweet nor too, bright citrus flavor done right. Simply tasteful, and absolutely deserving of a visit. The on‑site consumption options are rather spartan, so this is not the place to linger over a long coffee break. But if you’re here for the cake — and you should be — the quality speaks for itself. Sometimes simplicity is exactly what makes a place shine. A solid address for lemon lovers and anyone exploring Menton’s sweeter side.

This bakery, run by a renowned local Michelin 3-star chef, has earned a reputation for excellence. Their lemon tart is nothing short of extraordinary and a favorite among locals. Conveniently located near the bustling shopping district, the bakery also operates a smaller booth inside the waterfront market. While the staff could be a bit friendlier, I only stop by for takeout—and for the food alone, it’s absolutely worth it. Definitely a must-try when in Menton.

came here after hearing about mitron’s lemon tarts and really loved it! tart was big and crust & filling were both good. we also had black coffee here and owner was very thoughtful when serving us :)

I am a regular customer at Mitron whenever I stay in Menton. Unfortunately, today I had the worst customer experience at this bakery. The moment I started speaking in English, the lady serving me began ignoring me. She smiled at me when she realized I couldn’t understand what she was saying, and then started speaking with her colleague in front of me about the fact that I don’t speak French or Italian, clearly making fun of me. When I asked her why she seemed upset with me, she rolled her eyes and made it very clear that she was annoyed to communicate with me. It was a very unpleasant experience. If the management of the bakery allows this kind of customer service toward non-French speakers, then perhaps there should be a sign at the entrance informing customers. At least that way people like me would know to avoid the bakery.

We ordered their lemon tart and it was incredible!!!!! It was very huge so I would recommend it to be shared between 2 people if possible. The taste of lemon is strong but not overpowering I absolutely loved it. The crust goes very well with the lemon cream. So if you are in Menton, don't forget to drop by and enjoy their lemon tart!!

Such a beautiful bakery. It was recommended to us by a few people and it was definitely worth it. Everyone goes there for the lemon tart, and yes, it is amazing. However, everything else is so tasteful as well!

Lemon tart was amazing! Even americano was delicious 😋 really lovely place that we tried.

beautiful lemon tart and delicious hot chocolate!

We stayed at the Prince de Galles Hotel nearby and as the breakfast was a bit expensive at the hotel so we preferred to get something to eat as a breakfast and we got some bakery stuff from Au Baiser du Mitron. Everything was really good.
