Guillaume

Plateau · 5170 Boul. Saint-Laurent, Montréal, QC H2T 1R8, Canada

Throwback bakery offering traditional French breads, plus sandwiches & tea, in a sleek space.

Guillaume, Plateau

Montreal's bakery tradition draws from three deep roots: French, Jewish, and Quebecois. You can find a perfect croissant, a seeded rye, and a sugar pie all within a few blocks of each other. The newer wave of sourdough bakeries has added another layer, with naturally leavened loaves, laminated pastries, and morning buns that sell out by noon. Mile End and the Plateau have the highest concentration, but Rosemont and Saint-Henri are catching up fast.
