Artisan bakeries are always a welcome sight and Mamie Clafoutis near Metro Sherbrooke is one of the most welcome in Montreal. Their prices are very friendly just like the staff. Knowing a little French is certainly a bonus, but baguette sounds just about the same in French and English, so I manage.
There's a hidden lounge above the kitchen filled with comfy seats and a unique view over the rest of the shop. This seems like an ideal place to enjoy a relaxing lunch with one of their sandwiches and a fresh cup of coffee.
The amazing baguettes draw me back time and time again, they have a nice thick and chewy crust, the crumb has great structure and you can taste the care and quality ingredients that goes into making each loaf. I can recommend their cinnamon raisin bread and their olive loaf is also very good but you've got to watch for pits. I feel pretty confident that just about all of their breads will be spot on.
