    Owned by Laurent and Sophie Maes since 2015 Renard Bakery has been one of Brussels best ever since,…read morethe former space taking on a new look while artisan techniques such as prolonged fermentation has pushed quality to new heights. Open from Wednesday to Monday at 07h00, the location on Fernand Cocq Square in the heart of Ixelles providing ample foot traffic, Larent grew up in his uncle's Bakery before studying in Paris to perfect everything from Sourdough to Choux and Viennoiserie. Diverse in its offerings, a curated collection of Jams and Spreads mingling with shattering Feuilletines backed by Dark Chocolate, traditional Pancakes are lightly sweet without addition while Liege Waffles see a delicate chew interspersed with Pearl Sugar pockets. Unable to resist a Doughnut, unfilled with just Sugar overlying pillowy Brioche, Renard's Almond Croissant was a touch soggy despite arriving by 08h00, while the Cinnamon Roll was buttery and aromatic without being overly sweet.

    I love Renard! So many pastries, breads, and additional delights and goodies. I tried to try many…read moredifferent pastries in the morning on the way to school or just as a breakfast treat. They also serve coffee (such as espresso, cappuccino, latte) so you can get a grab and go for anyone on the go. There is no seating area here, but service is super prompt so most people know what they'd like to order once they have someone attend to them. Some standout items I love: baguette savoyard de lardon, oignon, et fromage (savory baguette with bacon, onion, and cheese), morning bun, gaufre (waffle), pain au chocolat et amandes (chocolate and almond croissant), among others! Really, it's tough to go wrong with any of the offerings here and everyone we've brought to try this spot has returned at least once, considering they're only here for 2-3 days! There are days when the line is out the door, but it moves quickly and it's so worth it!
