    Petite Ile is a small Franco-Taiwanese bakery in the Marais where French croissants share a counter with fluffy pineapple buns, and nobody seems to be arguing about it. The black sesame pain au chocolat is the one that sells out, and the sourdough boule keeps for days, in case you're the type to plan ahead. Everything is a few euros, and the line forms early. Named among The Infatuation's best bakeries in Paris.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Sesame pain au chocolat

      “The best-seller is justifiably the sesame pain au chocolat, which judiciously swaps the typical bars of chocolate for dark chocolate chips—all the better to balance the heady black sesame-almond filling.”

      The Infatuation
    • Taiwanese pineapple buns

      “French croissants sit side-by-side with fluffy Taiwanese pineapple buns.”

      The Infatuation
    • Long-fermented sourdough boule

      “We’d come here just for the viennoiseries, but the breads, like the long-fermented sourdough boule with a dense crumb that stays fresh for days, are excellent, too.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
