"Tender financiers and a craveable Paris-Brest showcase the city’s French roots." - Stacey Ballis
"The baguettes are close to perfection at these bakeries/restaurants/grocery stores from Marc-André Royal with locations in Ahuntsic, Griffintown and Laval. Loaves, like the fougasse, multigrain, and levain, are also not to be missed." - Mallory Frayn, Erinn Blicher
"There aren’t a ton of options for great bread in Griffintown, but with this outpost of Marc-André Royal’s Ahuntsic bakery La Bête à Pain, locals arguably have everything they need. You can stop by to grab a loaf to take home to eat with cheese or toast up for breakfast, or stop to eat in for brunch or lunch." - Holly Tousignant
"All three locations of chef Marc-André Royal’s excellent bakery are open at the moment: Griffintown, Ahuntsic, and Laval. All of them are baking excellent bread and viennoiseries, as well as ready-to-eat options like sandwiches and soups (courtesy of a bigger kitchen, the Laval location has a larger menu that includes heat-at-home meals). Delivery is an option within a few kilometres of each bakery, and they’re all open from early morning to late afternoon daily (except Griffintown, which is closed Sundays)." - Tim Forster
"I note the restaurant and bakery La Bête à Pain as another recent addition to Laval’s growing roster of independent spots." - Tim Forster
