Miel is an independent, French-influenced bakery in Fitzrovia, London. We make everything on-premises from scratch by a small team of passionate and highly trained bakers. We use only the best ingredients, baking throughout the day with care, technique and lots of love. Read more about Miel and about Shaheen Peerbhai.
Flavour comes first. And for that we take great care in sourcing our ingredients. The flour is traditionally milled in Normandy, the chocolate is Valrhona, the butter from Poitou Charentes (where some of the best French butter comes from) and the eggs British free range.
Join us for a very special Japanese weekend at Miel this May! There will be special workshops ranging from origami, illustrations, tsukemono making to sake tasting and onigiri and daifuku making. Additionally at the bakery, we will put together a very special Japanese-inspired menu for the weekend only!
These workshops can be attended by all – so please book up for the perfect half-term activity with your family before it’s sold-out.
Please have a look at the line up of workshops we’ve got planned for you here.
We will be adding more workshops so do keep an eye on the page. And if you’re someone who’d like to collaborate in teaching a workshop or have something to offer, please email info@mielbakery.co.uk. Arigato gozaimasu! 🎌
