"Since opening in 2016, Automne has been a magnet for bread buffs — and a supplier for many of the city’s top dining spots — thanks to its expert execution of staples and exciting seasonal creations. In a city overflowing with quality bakeries, this one, founded by Seth Gabrielse and Julien Roy, attracts lots of customers to its original location on Avenue Christophe-Colomb, as well as a second location nearby on Bélanger Street. Take note: The sourdough batard is a weekly must, the broccoli cheddar quiche is spot-on for brunch, and the ham and aged cheddar croissant is decadent but irresistible. For something sweet, the chocolatine and cinnamon rolls might just be the best in town. Know before you go: Don’t visit too late in the day, the most prized creations get claimed fast." - Valerie Silva
