Baked this morning.
Made with love.

A French bakery and sandwich shop in Palm Beach Gardens. Everything made in-house, with a little French flair and a whole lot of love. And Chef Christophe, who started his apprenticeship in France at the age of 13, still standing behind the counter.

    The chef

    Christophe Bozzano

    Christophe began his apprenticeship in France at the age of thirteen. He built his career in Valbonne, in the south of France, where his cafe earned a listing in the Michelin Guide. He worked for decades as a private chef before opening Piknik here in 2021.

    Everything on the counter comes out of that training. The pastry is real patisserie work, not a warm-up from a box. The soup changes with the day. The sandwiches are built the way they are built in France, which is to say simply, with very good bread and very few things inside it.

    "Food holds memories and feelings and reminds us of special people and times in our life. Why just eat when you can Piknik."
    • Apprenticed in France from age thirteen

    Call it in,
    pick it up warm

    Best of all is walking in. When you cannot, order ahead and it is bagged and waiting, and nobody has to put down a knife to answer the phone.

    Heat & Eat

    Dinner is done.
    Just heat & eat!

    There is nearly always something cooked and ready in the case. Real French home cooking, made here that morning, in a container you carry out and heat at home. What it is changes with the day, because it is cooked rather than manufactured.

    What it usually is

    Baked pasta bolognese. Hachis parmentier, the French shepherd's pie. Lasagna. The chicken pot pie people keep coming back for. $20 each.

    How it works

    No plan, no sign-up, no commitment. You walk in, you see what is in the case, you take one home. When the day's batch is gone it is gone.

    Ask before you come

    Pik knows what Christophe has made today. Ask him in the corner of this page and he will tell you what is in the case before you get in the car.

    7am

    The bakery and lunch. Baguettes, croissants, quiche, the patisserie case, and lunch sandwiches made from the moment we open.

    All day

    Breakfast. The breakfast sandwich, on our baguette or a croissant, until we close.

    Until close

    While it lasts. Whatever is left in the case, including tonight's dinner. Weekdays until six, weekends until three.

    What is in the case today

    The dinners Christophe makes, ready to heat and eat.

    Catering & private chef

    He will cook for
    your table too.

    Baguette platters for a Tuesday office lunch. A patisserie table for a shower. Provisions for a day on the water. Or Christophe himself, in your kitchen, cooking dinner for your guests. Same hands that made your sandwich this morning, only more of it, and with notice he can do a great deal more than a counter allows.
