We came on a Saturday morning and found a line out the door which is always a great sign! We tried a few different baked goods but our favorite was the chocolate croissant which was light, flaky and buttery with a great chocolate center. Loved this bakery and would highly recommend.

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!

Couldn't resist the beautiful colours of the pistachio and raspberry. It's thick, creamy, quite sweet, and irresistible. Packed full of sour raspberry flavour. It's so easy to finish the pie in one sitting. Thought maybe we could save half for later (like after dinner?) but then every part of my body (except the logical side of my brain that says, "Stay healthy!") said, "Where else would you find this again?"
