French bakeries near La Onda at Palermo Soho

Finding tasty and good bread has long been almost impossible in Buenos Aires but recently new bakeries did open, often held by French expatriates or spin off from European bakeries chain.
Near La Onda , we are fortunate to have two of those bakeries that not only provide  baguettes and croissants but where you can also lunch  throughout the day with excellent sandwiches and delicious salads .  

Cocu

The most recent of these bakeries has a curious name that pays tribute to the work of Marcel Pagnol " the baker's wife ." This is COCU , located two blocks from the house on Malabia at number 1510. They speak French , English and Spanish. 

Le Pain Quotidien

The second of these bakeries is the Argentine franchise of the well known "Pain Quotidien" which translate in daily bread. It is located a block from the apartment of Armenia in 1641 number. Connoisseurs of " Le Pain Quotidien" in Europe will sometimes be confused by the Argentine adaptation of dishes and salads served in Europe. The recipes are slightly adapted to better meet local tastes and accommodate fruits and vegetables produced locally. The place is a big success, it is often full of beautiful people mixing easily Argentine youth and tourists which provides a very nice animation.

Nucha

Finally on Armenia at number 1540 is one of the most famous pastries of Buenos Aires,   Nucha . 
The cakes are spectacular and really good without unfortunately reaching the finesse encountered in Europe. All day long fashion addicts from the neighborhood come  and enjoy cupcakes and chocolates.

Hausbrot

Organic bakery fans will also be pleased by Hausbrot a well known brand in Buenos Aires. They grow their own grain and control the all process till the end to guarantee that your bread is 100% organic.
Hausbrot has two outlets in Palermo, the first at the entrance of Alto Palermo shopping on Santa Fe and the second on the floor of Easy, the shopping gallery at Pacifico.
