Boulangerie Niemand

This place is not only an amazing spot to get a loaf of bread, it is an inspiration. It is like a business from another era where people don’t cut corners and give 100% on their craft. It makes me think that if everyone lived like this, we would thrive in a simple but rich society of excellence and passion!

The olive, lemon rosemary fougasse is out of this world. So is everything else, but the fougasse is the best I’ve ever eaten. This bakery takes its work very seriously. Lovely.

Very delicious pastries and breads. Take it to go and eat it by the port.

Their bread is truly exceptional, and I’m a devoted home baker of whole-grain breads. We’ve made detours now a couple of times on trips to the Gaspe Peninsula just to buy a loaf of their whole grain bread. I’m sure their white flour versions and pastries are wonderful, too.

This bakery makes an excellent baguette, ($3.50), sourdough I believe. But their sweet items are seriously overpriced and not that special, at least by Montreal standards. Same with their other breads, which range $4.50 and up. Despite the prices, the place is popular but, to me at least, is starting to seem a bit greedy and pretentious. If you can find it open, try it out and form your own opinion. You certainly could do a lot worse, it is a solid establishment.

I honestly wish that they have this boulangerie near my house. It has by far the best croissants and pastries. If you’re planning a gastronomic road trip in Quebec, here is another stop you won’t regret.

Wonderful bakery in a picturesque village on the St. Lawrence River.

If you yearn for a dense heavily seeded loaf, this bakery will be your nirvana. This type of bread making is a rarity. Very kind service. Cannot wait to return and stockpile.
