Tabelog ratingBRETONNE (ブルトンヌ 阪急うめだ本店) is a patisserie specializing in the traditional baked goods of Brittany, France. Located in the bustling food hall of the Hankyu Umeda department store, its defining item is the financier, a small almond-and-butter cake. Reviewers consistently praise its perfect texture: a crisp, well-baked exterior that gives way to a very moist crumb, rich with the aroma of browned butter.
The shop's other signature items are also highly regarded. The Gâteau Nantais, a buttery rum-infused cake often topped with seasonal fruits or jam, is described as visually striking and tasting even richer than it looks. The thick, buttery Galette Bretonne cookies and deeply caramelized canelés also receive frequent praise. Many visitors, including those from abroad, have noted that the quality rivals that of patisseries in France. The elegant, gift-ready packaging makes it a popular choice for souvenirs.
While overwhelmingly positive, a few reviews mention occasional inconsistencies, such as underbaked or rubbery pastries. A small number of guests found certain items overly sweet for their taste.
Prices are considered reasonable for the quality. Reviewers recently paid ¥238–¥249 for a financier, ¥303–¥346 for a Galette Bretonne, and ¥346–¥454 for a slice of Gâteau Nantais. A canelé costs around ¥260–¥281, and a large gift tin of assorted cookies is about ¥5,270. Most visitors spend under ¥1,000 for a personal treat, and many feel the rich butter flavor and careful presentation offer excellent value.
