| - My friend says I have a regular stomach for meals, a stomach for desserts, and finally a stomach for bread. Pain Doré was right up my alley for satisfying all my carb needs.
I remember walking by this place all the time during my first year in Montreal. It wasn't until one day when I decided to have a picnic that I finally paid this place a visit. I have tried their olive bread, raisin and nut bread, brioche, but somehow I always revert back to their classic old baguette. I think if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would probably be a baguette. Personally I haven't tried their pastries but that's because I have more of a "bread" tooth and a sweet tooth. Regardless, their pastry selection looks pretty damn awesome.
They have a sister store called Brioche Dorée at St. Laurent and Prince Arthur. The selection of bread there is definitely not as diverse as the ones they have at Pain Doré. If you're a bread fanatic, this location is probably better suited for your carb needs. Keep in mind if you go during lunch hours, this place could get pretty jam packed with a line that extends out the door.
P.S. I just found out this place actually has two floors with a little café upstairs. Will probably go up there someday, enjoy a coffee, try out some pastries, and do some people watching.
