Where do you buy your croissants from in montreal?
- Thread starter kabukicho
- Start date
local supermarkets, like Marche. Frozen section look for ACE bakery "bake your own", white box.
trois patapoufs sur Ontario à Hochelaga ou les copains d'abord sur rue mt royal à Plateau
Here is a real bummer. When you get older and develop an enlarged prostate , you re left with a choice of reviewing escorts or croissants.
MERCI!, I will have to check out trois patapoufs. Les Copains they have multiple locations, I thought their croissant was just alright.
ie: Petit Paris, also on Rue Mt Royal/ Plateau, it's okay.
Today I tried finally,

It is not very particularly crispy, however the flavor and inner moisture is better than Petit Paris and Les Copains.
les co'pains on rue Mt Royal is the better one. But I really liked the croissants from les trois patapoufs. It was very early in the morning and in the days before covid, and I had been awake all night on lsd so that might have influenced my taste
my 3 go to places are
Boulangery Fleury - Ahuntsic
Boulangery Jarry - Jarry & St Denis
In a pinch
Louise in Little Italy

i used to like Fous however it has fallen down in my list,,, visually, theirs is not pale which is great, and their yield has very nice consistency amongst each other. Tastewise its on the dry side and low on beurré aroma.
Hof is good visually as well, not pale... also noticably above avg in price...near $3 if I recall... was not stunning for the price is best I recall of theirs. I do love their bobka
have not tried Gourmando but recall that place looks $$$$$
i have seen that tastet list before. btw croissant croissant's croissant sucks, i was highly disappointed. The unassuming mister pinchont I'd take it above CCs.
I was in Frankfurt & thought the German/Austrian? croissants were much better. The French version has too much butter
No one mentioned Paltoquet in Outremont? French owner, it's a classic, it's been there for yrs. Clientele is about 80% French. On Van Horne next to Stanislas the French private school. Real croissant, not huge, no extra sugar coating, just pure 100% butter croissant, chocolatine and almond croissant. He has great pies as well comme les font les Français. Very busy on weekends because they serve French style breakfast so don't get there too late it will be sold out. And it is not expensive at all.
Bonjour. I visited them once, will have to head back when in the area. i found them possibly a tad dry... yes they are the smallest croissants i have seen and not marketed as mini.

from this list I already experienced some, but chose to try out for my first time,
De Froment et de Sève
They make mini croissants, but their regular sized are huge, like american puffy croissants. but cheap, under $2.50 for such big size and they lower the cost per six.
my bag was spotty greased after about 5 min... easily after 30 min. i had a good feeling about this....
yummy... pull apart layers with some tension (gluten evident like a roti) the inner layers can compress onto itself as it is so moist. evident taste of butter and aroma. This one is easily on my first try.... within my top 1-2-3 out of over a dozen places i have sampled. but looks huge and rather puffy, cresent shaped. Their other items are huge too...
their baguettes are $3+, award winning i think i saw a sign.
from scratch? not really worth my time for a breakfast item. For full meal with protein, I do.
