Laurent Duchêne

Laurent Duchêne holds the prestigious MOF title, and his croissant reflects that level of absolute technical mastery. It is perhaps the most 'perfect' looking croissant in the city, with mathematical precision in its layering and a rich, creamy finish. For those who want to see what a master craftsman can do with butter and flour, this is the destination.
