On our map. We haven't walked through the door yet — here's why it's on the list.
Artisanal bakery opened in May 1996 on Promenade Fleury by Louis-André Joyal and Sylvie Boissoneault — the first of its kind in the neighbourhood. Trained at Passe-Partout and later apprenticed with a French baker, Joyal bakes sourdough and poolish breads, baguettes, and croissants on site each morning.
The baguette was named Montreal's best by La Presse in 2015 and by CTV in 2014, and took second place in the Association des boulangers artisans du Québec's competition. Pastry chef Jacques Morin creates the shop's seasonal desserts.
La Petite Boulangerie is on the Regulars map — spotted, not yet visited. Our guides are written on foot, door by door, and no one pays to appear: when we walk through the door, this note will become a portrait. No points. No coupons. Standing is earned.
