Boulangerie Bouchard

How To Spend a Big Fat Weekend in Québec City | Bon Appétit

"My life motto: Will travel for baked goods. Which explains why I took a ferry across the Saint Lawrence River to Isle-aux-Coudres and drove up a windy road to go to the quaint, 70+-year-old Boulangerie Bouchard. It’s run by the nicest person you’ll ever meet, Noelle-Ange Harvey. For a savory option, get pate croche—a half moon-shaped hand pie filled with different meats. But you’re really there for the sweet stuff. Specifically, the grand-mère. It’s a sugar pie (basically cream and brown sugar inside) topped with little roll-ups of pie scraps. Grab it to-go and eat it outside while looking out over the Saint Lawrence River. Carbs with a view, not mad about it." - ByRachel Karten
