Pignon

Anyone looking for simple loaves to accompany everyday home meals will find a dependable stop in Pignon, a Tabata bakery. Bread is sold through a street-facing window counter, where the lineup includes long baguettes ideal for pasta or meat dishes, dinner rolls, and crusty breads made from straightforward dough. Unlike flashy stuffed savory pastries, the bread here focuses on the deep, rustic flavor of the flour, revealing its character with every chew.

Beyond takeaway, sitting down in the cozy eat-in corner provides an inviting respite. Guests dining in can have their bread warmed for eating, pairing it with hearty choices such as potato gratin, corn bread, braised hamburger steak, or minestrone. The selection also includes baked treats like apple pie and muffins, making it just as easy to drop in when hunger strikes between meals.

Except on Wednesdays, when it is closed, the bakery is open from 8:00 to 19:00, accommodating daily routines from picking up breakfast rolls to running dinner errands on the walk home.
