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, ジャガイモパン – Potato bread, and チャバッタ – Ciabatta.
They look tasty because they are tasty. Here are some more pictures from the shop exterior and interior.
I had salmon & cream cheese and shrimp & advocado sandwiches and a cafe au lait 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 “Oike” 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: MAP. Here is another for the Koromonodana branch: MAP.
Update, June 2025: Le Petit Mec now also had branches inside Daimaru department store (MAP) and an “Omake” branch on Nishinotoin Dori (MAP).
