Le Petit Mec is a French style cafe & bakery on Imadegawa just west of Horikawa, which appears to be open only on weekends… They sell a fantastic variety of delicious breads, sweet pastries and sandwiches which you can eat in or take out. Here below are my purchases, left to right: くるみパン – Walnut bread – ¥168 a roll, ジャガイモパン – Potato bread – ¥157 a roll, and チャバッタ -Ciabatta – ¥126 a roll.
They look tasty because they are tasty. Here are some more pictures from the shop exterior and interior. Just click on the forward and back buttons to move the pictures along. I had salmon & cream cheese (¥367) and shrimp & advocado (¥399) sandwiches and a cafe au lait (¥420) and they were all just lovely.
Le Petit Mec is on the north side of Imadegawa, a five minute walk west of Horikawa. There is also a smaller branch on the west side of Koromonodana Dori just north of Oike (pictured below) but it is less of a cafe than a simple bakery as they only have outdoor seating. Here is a map for the main branch on Imadegawa: MAPLINK. Here is another for the Koromonodana branch: MAPLINK2.
