In the press
Eleventh best in the country, out of tens of thousands.
There are tens of thousands of sandwich shops in the United States. Yelp's inaugural Top 100 list ranked Piknik No. 11. The Palm Beach Post covered it during National Sandwich Month, described Piknik as a sandwich shop and small-batch French bakery, and singled out the Pan Bagnat.

The menu
What is on the counter today
A short menu, done properly. Specials rotate, so the soup on Tuesday is not the soup on Thursday, and Saturday brings sourdough and cookies.
Nothing on this list matches all of those at once. Try another tab.

Note for Chef Christophe. Eleven of these twelve photographs are from your own shoots. One is not: the Cuban, which was never shot, so I built it to match the rest until we photograph it properly. Smoked Salmon & Brie has been taken off, it is not on your delivery menu and there is no picture of it anywhere, so tell me if you still make it. The ingredient lists are my reading of your menu, so correct anything that is wrong in the page-by-page review.

Trained in France
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
- Michelin Guide listing for his cafe in Valbonne, France
- Decades as a private chef before opening Piknik in 2021
- Named No. 11 in America by Yelp, four years after opening

Call 561-360-2997 Monday to Saturday, 7am to 3pm.
Take home
Dinner, already made.
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
Hachis parmentier, the French shepherd's pie. The chicken pot pie people keep coming back for. Chicken cordon bleu. French mac and cheese. Quiche by the whole tray if you ask ahead.
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.

Christophe answers these himself, usually the same day. Give him a rough number and he will come back with what he would actually cook.
