Thank you (scratch that -- merci) to Arnaud de Rambures for introducing Chez Arnaud to the hungry residents of Maple Grove. Rambures' confident style of French breads and pastries -- including what are easily the metro's best eclairs -- is proof that great bakeries can be found outside the city limits of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Even more props for sharing the love with the east metro and opening a second location in White Bear Lake.
