13 bakery places in Montreal we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Montreal | Bakery across every city.

Montreal's bakery story starts with bagels: St-Viateur has hand-rolled and wood-fired its honey-boiled rings in Mile End since 1957, while Fairmount Bagel, the city's oldest bagel bakery, works around the clock on Avenue Fairmount. The French side is just as deep, from Mamie Clafoutis' laminated croissants on Rue Saint-Denis to Au Kouign-Amann's caramelised Breton pastry on the Plateau. For sourdough, Hof Kelsten and Guillaume both bake on Saint-Laurent in Mile End, and Automne Boulangerie's long-fermented loaves pull crowds out to Rosemont. Premiere Moisson at Atwater Market covers the classic Quebec chain end of things.
