About this place
Some customers come for the salted butter rolls; others opt for savoury bakes such as pizza or baguette spread with mentaiko butter. At Croix-Rousse, you can pick and mix items ranging from bread for a meal to sweet pastries. One customer who enjoyed the salted butter roll noted how prominent the butter was. For a simple place to start, you might pair one with a croissant. The croissant is listed on the menu at ¥230, making it easy to weigh up as an everyday treat.
Among the savoury options, one customer enjoyed the way the pizza toppings and bread came together, as well as the generous amount of topping. Another wrote that mentaiko paste was spread right to the end of the baguette. They offer different choices when you are after something more substantial than a sweet pastry. The menu also features a croque monsieur made with a white sauce containing fresh cream. Noa-Calens, rye bread with walnuts and raisins, is another option if you fancy a sweet-and-nutty combination rather than a savoury bake.
For something sweet, one customer described a croissant aux amandes made with croissant dough, cookie dough, custard cream and raspberry jam. They enjoyed its crunchy texture, restrained sweetness and the tartness of the jam. You could pick up several kinds of bread to take away, combining something for a meal with a treat for later. There is no dine-in service: Croix-Rousse is takeaway-only and also offers collection at the entrance. Choose a few items to take home and enjoy at your own pace.
