Le panier a brioche is a neighbourhood bakery, patisserie and café at 267 Old Kent Road. The relaxed shop serves the local community from breakfast through to the evening, with food available to eat in or take away. Its range brings together European baking and Mediterranean café cooking, making it useful for an early coffee, a quick lunch or a more substantial hot meal.
The bakery counter is a major part of the experience. Fresh pastries, baklava, fruit tarts, lemon tarts, chocolate cakes and other individual desserts provide plenty of choice with tea or coffee. Whole birthday and wedding cakes can also be prepared for celebrations, extending the selection beyond the everyday slices and sweet treats displayed in the shop.
Savoury choices include filled baguettes, sandwiches and toasted panini, with chicken tikka and tuna among the popular fillings. Pizza, quiche and calzone offer simple alternatives for lunch or dinner. Vegetarian choices and freshly prepared salads make it possible to build a lighter meal, while generous portions and freshly sliced bread suit diners looking for something more filling.
North African and southern European influences appear in the hot dishes, including aromatic tagines with meat, vegetables, olives and herbs. These comforting plates sit naturally beside the bakery’s bread and provide a different option from the sandwiches and pastries. Strong coffee, mint tea and a final slice of cake complete the friendly all day café experience.
