Why locals recommend it
The legendary bakery started in Paris in 1932 and now has an outlet in Belgravia, where you can pick up one of their famous sourdoughs. I also love the Viennese pastries. Lionel Poilâne has been hugely influential to bakers worldwide. He combines the best of old and new techniques and calls it “retro-innovation.” If you’re in Chelsea, check out their branch there, where you can order light meals from the cuisine de bar.

Tips from locals
Chic and authentic French bakery located on nearby Elizabeth Street, importing their own flour from France. Excellent pasties and fresh bread.
This is the genuine thing. It really is the London branch of a famous French bakery. They make rye bread the classic way. They use a wood fired oven (allegedly the first in London since the great fire!). Totally classy, totally awesome. Come here, buy a complete round loaf ("un pain s'il vous plait"). Die happy - and if you live it will feed a family for 3 days.
