The best bakeries Quebec

If the palate had a memory, it would be haunted by Paillard's butter croissant: a crispy cover and a very tender center, a good taste of butter, it's a marvel! But it shouldn't overshadow the pastry department, with its wide variety of macaroons and other millefeuilles made by a chef trained in the best schools. Breakfasts, salads, sandwiches and quiches are also delicious! This great bakery also offers chocolates, caramels and homemade jams, not forgetting its coffee.

Housed in the former Saint-Jean presbytery, which was also home to La Boulange until 2021, La Midinette is the offspring of the Monna sisters (of Cassis Monna & Filles), who have preserved the character and historic vocation of the premises while adding a more eccentric touch. La Midinette takes up the torch on the bakery side, adding a refreshment bar in the dining room or on the terrace. La Midinette is also a wine shop, offering a fine selection of wines from private imports. A fine gourmet address for indulging on the island!

Pascal works in the authentic French artisanal bakery. Its delicious breads, all made by hand fresh of the day with top quality ingredients, are available in traditional loaves, baguettes, walnut bread and tutti quanti. There are also pastries (including pure butter croissants), pastries, sandwiches and pies (salty and sweet), a small selection of Quebec cheeses and deli meats. The ideal stop before hiking in Jacques-Cartier National Park, or as a reward on the way back
