Meguro City, Tokyo, Japan｜griotte

Popular bakery in this area and I believe here’s the best one in Tokyo. Everything is beautiful but baguettes are their masterpieces. Sandwiches are also great. It also has space for eating with reasonable priced coffee considering the location. Let’s take it and go to Komazawa Olympic park!

First of all I should say that I'm a difficult person in terms of bread (and i mean real bread, not the spongy slices in plastic that you buy in the supermarket) and i will only appreciate it when it's top quality. I had expected that it would be difficult to find good bread in Tokyo... and it was, even in spite of more and more 'French' and 'Danish' bakeries popping up everywhere. But then i discovered Griotte. This is no doubt the BEST bakery in the whole of Tokyo. The croissants, the brownies, the ciabatta's and all the rest... better than most bakeries in Europe. The quality is impeccable, the range is imaginative and the lady-baker is the friendliest ever. I'd give 6 stars if it was possible.

By far the best bakery I found so far in Tokyo. Their bread is just on a different level, reminds me of homemade Italian bread, which is pretty rare here. Highly recommended, try it.
