The smell of chocolate and pastry that overwhelms you when you enter this patisserie is incredible. And not only does Chouquette serve up authentic French treats, the staff also speaks French! So order
un cafe, s'il vous plait, make a selection from the range of baguettes, gateux and patisserie and soak up the sights of
the Left Bank New Farm.
Chouquette is open from 6.30am until 5.00pm Wednesday until Saturday and 6.30am until 12.30pm on Sunday.
