back a comforting waft of homemade cooking pervades the simple dining room, filled with

Bruno Solques crafts oddly shaped flat tarts with mashed fruit, fruit-
filled brioches and subtly spiced gingerbread. This small, bare-boards shop is also filled
with wonderfully rustic breads. It's on the pricey side but worth it - kids from the school
across the way can't get enough.
