Boulangerie Louise is a bakery and pastry shop in Montreal, Canada, on Boulevard Saint-Laurent. It sits within the city's long-standing French-inspired baking tradition, and it makes a easy stop for anyone who wants to taste that tradition on foot.
What you will find
- Fresh bread, the kind that suits a walk back to your accommodation or a picnic later in the day
- Viennoiseries, the flaky pastries that are a staple of French-style baking
- Sweet treats for a midday break or a small reward after a morning of sightseeing
- Coffee, so you can sit down with something warm and enjoy the pace of the place
Who it suits
The shop works well for a relaxed breakfast before you head out, or for an afternoon pick-me-up when your legs need a pause. It is a low-pressure visit: you do not need to plan a long itinerary around it, and you can easily combine it with a wander along Saint-Laurent, one of the city's best-known streets for food, shops and neighbourhood life.
