"With his sourdough loaves, olive ciabatta, and fig-cheddar buns, Guillaume Vaillant is a frontrunner on the Montreal bread circuit. But the apple turnovers and “Reine Elizabeth” (a small date cupcake with a coconut-caramel topping) at his eponymously named shop easily satisfy those with a sweet tooth, too." - Daniel Bromberg
"This spot on St. Laurent between Laurier and Fairmount is a mecca for bread in the area; walk around and you’ll see many a Mile Ender toting a baguette in its signature yellow bread bag. The selection is vast and it opens from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily (except for Sundays), so you’ve got a full 12 hours to get your fix." - Mallory Frayn
"Olive-studded fougasse, cheesy fesses, almond croissants, and classic breads are among the extensive offerings at this Mile End favourite. Opening hours have been slightly tweaked — it’s open every day from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m." - Tim Forster
"Go for the bread (it’s first and foremost a bakery), and stay for the chocolate confections. Chocolatines, chocolate batards, and brownies are all hits. Guillaume’s chocolate chunk cookies are probably one of the best kept secrets in the city, chewy with just a touch of crunch around the exterior, they definitely don’t skimp on the chocolate." - Mallory Frayn
"Alongside the Mile End bakery’s beloved bread selection, you’ll find equally acclaimed plain and Italian-inspired almond croissants, plus mini pains au chocolat. Its expansion into the former La Cucina next door has helped ease some of the compact bakery’s traffic flow." - Heather Vandenengel
