Montréal

I have a friend who's mother is trying to find dempster's bread, but so far has had no luck, I'm wondering if any of you guys might know of a place that would carry this here in montreal.

I'm looking for Berlines for father's day. I have a car, so it's ok if you recommend a bakery that's not downtown. More specifically I'm looking for the ones filled with either manjar or pastry cream. Thanks!

Hello beautiful Montreal!!

Where can I get amazing freshly baked churros?? Bonus points for leads in the Plateau!

Does anyone know any pastry stores in Montreal (West Island please!) that sells sugar free cakes, cookies or pastries?

edit: it's for a  diabetic.

Thanks!

Hello!

I'm looking for a Jewish bakery with a "homemade" type of feel to it.

There are some bakeries I've been to in Montreal, but the goods just are not very appealing to me. For example, sometimes it's just a piece of cheap cake with a ton of icing. So I am not looking for a generic bakery, or a touristy-type of place.

Is there anything like this around? Or if you don't know of a Jewish bakery, can you recommend somewhere of the similar homemade feel? 

Thank you!!


ps. In case you're wondering, I picked up a book from the library on Israeli Cuisine, but I never got around to cooking any of the dishes, or the desserts - and now I'd just like to try the 'real thing' first, before I make it myself.

I've googled and checked the tags and now I put it out to you, this community that's given me so much great info in the past.

I was wondering where (or even IF) I could find baking classes in Montreal that aren't too pricy. I don't mean a career school or anything, but a day. or evening(s) one shot type of deal. I'd like to give that as a present to my fiancee (her baking is already delicious, she's the one who's expressed an interest) and the only ones I've found so far are at the Culinary Institute (much too pricy at 375 dollars).

I've asked around at the few bakeries I know (that's not many) but so far I'm not getting anywhere.

I'm looking for a bakery that can make a Halloween-themed cake for my friends' anniversary party on Saturday. Anyone know of a place? Should I just go to Loblaws, or is there somewhere better?

I would like to recommend a place I went to today, It's called "La maison du Macaron"
it's on 4479 rue de la Roche, corner Mont-Royal..
They have amazing macarons in so many flavors!
I fell in love with this place.. They have small, big.. and giant ones too..

 Hi

im looking for a bakery that sells really tasty eclairs and pretty little cakes in circles and stuff for a reasonable price and tastes good...not really pastries.  More like the items in the pictures.

i looked at the memories but im not really into the cocoa locale type of baked good.  more traditional pastries/ cake.
Au Pain Dore sells more pastries.....im looking for cake like pastries?

 

someone told me about a place called patisserie ganache...okay the spelling is totally wrong but i know it starts with patisserie _____ second word starts with a G.  It is located downtown across from a Maxie.  Does anyone know what I am talking about?  they also make cakes there. im sorry i am so vague, my memory has been so bad lately.

THANKS!

  **and how is Patisserie Harnois priced? looks great..but might put a huge dent in my wallet.

this might not be news to anyone but me, but i thought i'd share...

you too can make sandwiches at home like the ones at Santropol! on my most recent visit, i finally convinced one of the waitresses to give me the recipe for the bread. well, not the recipe because they don't make it themselves... but they have it supplied by a bakery down the street. so i went searching and sure enough... if you continue going east on Duluth O. from Santropol, you'll come across Stella Estrella a little bit past St Laurent (on the corner of St Dominique, i believe?). i snatched up a loaf of the wheat bread and a few natas for good measure and it is all very delish.

so if you're a fan of Santropol, or just enjoy a really good loaf of wheat bread and are wandering around the Plateau, then give it a try :)

What is your favourite place to have cupcakes in Montreal?

I've only tried those on Mont-Royal near St-Hubert. Can't remember the name of the place. Were quite good but a bit too dry.

What are your recommendations?

Where can I find gingerbread?

One of those gingerbread house kits would be perfect but at this point even pre-made doughs I can roll out or cookies would be good enough. I looked in Metro, Provigo, and another bakery but you'd think it's friggin July or something. I can't find it anywhere! So if anyone has any leads... much obliged!

Alright, so I have been thinking about moving to Montreal in the near future.

I am very interested in culinary arts, especially baking. I just finished a Culinary Management program at Fanshawe college here in London, ON. I'm currently working in a wedding cake shop and love it.

I looked in the memories and couldn't find anything about wedding cake shops there. I know there are tons of bakeries and sweet shops, but my interests are directed at wedding cake decorations.

If anyone has any recommendations or links to previous entries, I would gladly appreciate it. Thanks!

A coworker told me that there is a place in Montreal that serves the best hot chocolate. Unfortunately, she's on vacation now, and I'm leaving for Montreal in a week or so. Any ideas?
Thanks!

What are some good bakeries in the town?
I know Fairmount has delicious bagels, but what about more sweet fare? Perhaps some tarte au sucre? Or anything, seriously, I am just craving some fresh baked sweet delicious things. Anywhere that's within the boundries of the orange line, and near UdM campus is prefered.
Thanks

Trendy cupcake bakeries have been the rage in the States for the past few years, do we have anything similar here in Mtl?
