| - Montreal has a lot of Portuguese bakeries, but unfortunately too many of them tend to be mediocre. Les Anges Gourmets is a local, if understated treasure and although the interior is not dazzling (looks unchanged since the 80's), get ready for a surprise, because the food, breads and pastries are nothing short of outstanding. STELLAR country bread, broas (Portuguese corn bread) and natas, in addition of Portuguese delicacies, fresh paninis- they also make, on request, that celebrated Portuguese dessert called the Molotoff. I find they really know how to make perfect bread and they also have very good biscoitos (Portuguese tea cookies). Another great thing about this place is the very friendly service and chef-food critic Phillipe Mollé (from le Devoir) himself praised the nata tarts of chef-owner José Luis. All in all, a sweet place for fresh, excellent food and coffee, especially in a neighborhood packed with too many trendy places. Highly recommended!
