When we tell you that people are streaming into Vienna’s newest French boulangerie and waiting in line to grab a baguette, or croissant, it may sound like hyperbole. But the baked goods being prepared in the huge showroom bakery kitchen at Parémi is truly inspiring such madness.

It was only a matter of time before a baker settled back on Vienna’s Bäckerstraße (which literally means “baker street”, with the name dating back to the 14th century when bakers lined the street), and it’s no secret that the Viennese get a kick out of anything French, so it makes sense that it’s a boulangerie that gave the street back the meaning to its name. Parémi is a real deal French bakery that bakes all products fresh, in-house, with flour and butter imported directly from France. And while this is a valid claim to authenticity, for us, the proof is in the heavenly, buttery taste of the croissants.

Parémi is all about small bites (not to mention quality and well-made coffee), and if you’re not popping in and popping out with a baguette under your arm (very French of you) and staying a while, it’s an inviting space for a small breakfast or a coffee & cake break. It is self-service, so don’t go waiting to be waited on. Meanwhile, the filled baguettes (stuffed with ingredients like Brie, dried tomatoes, salami or chicken) make for a tasty lunch treat (we say treat as this place is pricey). We’d also recommend the Brioche with salted butter and homemade quince jam. Who are we kidding – everything here will keep you coming back. Read our full review of Paremi, here.
