There are so many little intersting artisinale boulangeries springing up all over the place (charging big bucks for bread!). Many good examples can be found on Mont-Royal east or specifically Mr. Pacheco on Monkland. I am a long time fan of the well-established Patisserie de Gascogne for great bread & croissants (not to mention all that is sweet!) My big complaint is that when a boulangerie/patisserie gets very popular (Pain Doré, Premier Moisson & even Gascogne) & decides to expand from a few small locations to many larger locations, the quality always seems to deteriorate. Duc de Lorraine on Cote des Neiges ranks right up with the best quality wise.
