As of today, you can enjoy savory and gourmet French breakfasts, lunches and dinners at a chic new boulangerie in Newport Beach like we’ve never seen before. The thought and conceptualizing behind Pandor Artisan Boulangerie & Café is a dream come true for partners in business and in marriage, Raffi and Tiffany Sepetjian.
At Pandor, the two Francophiles are giving us a taste of true French artisan breads, Viennoiseries, pastries, tartines, paninis and salads with a focus on seasonal ingredients sourced locally and sustainable. To ensure the most authentic French baking processes and recipes possible, they brought in French master baker Julien Pietravalle to supervise breads, French Pastry Chef Serge Bertrand will be in charge of delicate pastries, and LA-based French Chef Eric Cuenin crafted the café menu of breakfast served weekdays until noon, Saturdays and Sundays until 3 p.m.; and lunch and dinner selections until 8 p.m. (Pandor, is a fusion of Pain d’Or meaning golden bread in French.)
We highly recommend that you try a delicately sweet and flaky almond croissant, and the decadent peanut butter and jelly French toast served with mixed berries and whipped cream. Those two items go perfectly well with a cup of artisan Portola Coffee. When it comes to sandwiches and paninis, we say go for the Portobello Melt sandwich with pesto, grilled zucchini, piquillo peppers, smoked mozzarella and caramelized onions on multigrain square bread; or the tasty tuna panini with capers, Maui onions, and Vermont cheddar cheese. We also think Habano sandwich is delicious, with roast pork cured ham, pickled jalapenos, Swiss cheese, deli mustard on a chef baguette.
Open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Pandor’s Artisan Boulangerie & Café is at Westcliff Plaza at 1126 Irvine Ave. in Newport Beach. 949.209.5099 or visit http://www.pandorbakery.
