I went to L’atelier Tempo. It’s up in the mountains, so it’s a bit of a trek to get there, but I suddenly got a craving for donuts…
This is the place.
It really is halfway up a mountain.
The breads
This time there were quite a few breads out. Come too early and, ironically, there’s no bread yet…
Breads like these
Lots of breads that look rather fancy.
Toast and sandwiches
I’d just come from eating ramen, so these didn’t really tempt me…
Donuts
The donuts are made from a long-fermented dough, so they’re fluffy yet have a soft, mellow flavor. In a way they remind me a bit of I’m donut?. Still delicious even after a long time away.
Focaccia
Simple, but the flavor was pretty good…
Lodève noix
It’s a country bread with walnuts in it. I picked it as a loaf I could keep in the freezer and eat over time.
Baguette nature
I’d been to Bawiwi not long ago and thought that was already world-class, but the bread here has an incredible toasty aroma. The taste is great, of course, but it’s the aroma that overwhelms you. I’m so glad a bakery this good is within driving distance.
