Bordelaises, Bordelais, get ready for a new taste experience, worthy of the greatest pastry lovers! De la Farine et des Mains, a name that already evokes the promise of delicious moments of relaxation, has just taken on a pioneering role in the capital of Gironde! Behind this establishment, a passionate duo has come up with a unique and irresistible concept: the croissant bar! Yes, you read that right: a bar… for croissants!
The story of a gourmet reinvention
Established 9 years ago, this bakery recently reinvented itself as a temple to viennoiserie. Their concept? The croissant, of course! But not just any croissant: each one is made up to the minute and can be filled on demand, all thanks to a system of injectors specially designed for this purpose. Imagine a machine which, when you switch it on, drips melting hearts of speculoos, hazelnut spread, raspberry or pistachio (undoubtedly the best flavor) directly into your croissant. A delight that leaves no one indifferent, does it?
Behind these delicious croissants (and the rest) are Florent and Claire, a passionate couple who make it a point of honor to offer homemade, quality products. While Claire is a specialist in puff pastry, Florent excels in yeast dough, a perfect marriage to offer a range of products that are both creative and tasty. Organic flour, homemade fillings , natural sourdough breads… every detail counts to offer an authentic experience , as close to tradition as possible, while adding a touch of modernity.
Croissants in every sauce… and more!
Make no mistake, there’ s more to De la Farine et des Mains than a simple butter croissant. The brand has transformed this iconic viennoiserie into a veritable gastronomic playground, offering a multitude of gourmet and creative versions. In addition to the classic plain or butter croissants, you can enjoy two-tone croissants , brioche versions or even filled cubes. There’s something for every taste, and the best part? You choose the filling for each one!
But the croissant is just the tip of the iceberg. The company’s creations also include kouign-amann revisited , chocolatines to die for and pains aux raisins like you’ve never seen them before. And for those who love originality , croissants-bretzels or brioches with croissant dough spice up the offer!
No, no, that’s not all (we’ll make you salivate a little longer)! If the sweet tooth isn’t your only motivation, De la Farine et des Mains also offers a savoury menu. For neighborhood workers in search of a quick but tasty lunch, you can indulge in a 6.50€ lunch formula including a sandwich, a drink and a dessert. All homemade, of course! Gourmets will also be delighted by the selection of flans, eclairs, chocolate-pistachio tarts, and other sweet treats to satisfy afternoon sweet cravings!
A fun, interactive experience
What makes the experience truly unique and exciting is the interaction with the preparation process. You watch your croissant take shape before your very eyes, thanks to innovative machinery. It’s a real culinary spectacle! No more old-fashioned croissants: here, you’ll be able to watch your croissant being prepared in a minute!
The decor of De la Farine et des Mains reflects its concept: simple, warm and welcoming. With its light-wood tables and direct view of the pastry-making process, the place invites you to relax and share. On weekends , themed brunches add an even more gourmet dimension to the experience. As you can see, it’s a place you’ll want to share with all your friends!
