Montréal. October, 2006


My favorite bread bakery in Montréal is Le Fromentier at 1375 Rue Laurier Est. It’s just enough out of our way that we tend to drive there as we’re headed out of town, often spending the last of our Canadian money on “a few things” to take home. Seen here, just a small sampling of what’s on offer, some baguettes, some Pullman loaves. Elsewhere, in addition to the ovens that you can see in operation, there are shelves of different kinds of fougasses, brioches, sourdough loaves, puff pastries with a range of sweet or savory fillings, breads enhanced with any number of nuts, dried fruits, seeds. Certain items are only available on certain days. The aroma alone makes it worth the trip.
