Bachour was named a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Follow nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/guide.michelin.com\/us\/en\/article\/features\/the-bib-gourmand\">Bib Gourmand<\/a> by the Michelin Guide in 2022 and has remained in the guide ever since.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant isn\u2019t merely a bakery, of course: Bachour also offers sandwiches, salads and entrees such as steak frites and eggs as well as lamb lollipops, chicken and seafood. It\u2019s also known for its gorgeous glazed desserts, so beautiful you almost hate to eat them.<\/p>\n<p>New York had three French bakeries on the list: Almondine Bakery, Balthazar Bakery and Dominique Ansel Bakery. The rest of the list includes Verzenay Chicago, Chicago; Poulette Bakeshop, Parker, Colorado; Essence Bakery Cafe, Phoenix; Arsicault Bakery, San Francisco; Republique, Los Angeles; Bakery Nouveau, Seattle; Bakery Lorraine, Texas; Twisted Croissant, Portland, Oregon; Michette, Somerville, Massachusetts; and Bellegarde Bakery, New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>To compile the list, Tasting Table considered awards, accolades and honors from the Michelin Guide and James Beard Foundation and sought out chefs who have studied and worked in France.
