L'Amour du Pain Vieux-Montréal Maison Pépin — Restaurant in Montreal

L’amour du pain is an interesting bakery inside a furniture store selling cottage home decor. It opens at 8am on Saturday and there was already a long lineup. There was only one lady server behind the counter and she was fast, efficient and very pleasant to deal.

We ordered a stuffed bacon and cheese baguette for eat-in and a chai latte. Superwoman was kind enough to ask us if it needs to be heated up in the oven which we gladly appreciated. There are lots of very appetizing looking croissants that I will have to try next time.

There is one common table to seat 10 which was convenient. The baguette was soft, warm and delicious. The tea was heavily loaded with cinnamon with lots of foam on top.

I like the sign inside, at the entrance that no dogs are allowed at the bakery. Guess what? There was one customer eating at the common table with a dog at her feet. I have a dog but I will never bring my dog to a food establishment with or without a sign to keep pets out of respect for hygiene, customer safety and regulatory compliance. While the restaurant deserves a 5 star, I have to deduct a star for not enforcing rules that are...

I wanted to have a good pastry or croissant before going back home to U.S, My husband picked this place and thought we will probably will not be able to find parking so we risking it anyway.

Got here enough early which before 8am and the parking pretty empty it was just the parking on the street is pay parking but since we grab and go didn’t see the problems especially when we entered we were the only customer at that moment.

There were 2 worker behind the line, one lady and a guy with glasses (too bad didn’t catch his name) but the guy was so helpful and friendly. I asked him about all the pastry on the left clear glass and he explained every each item that was in it 👌. We got 2 croissants (chocolate and cheese) and their croissants is huge compare our croissants in U.S 😅 and we’re loving it. For 2 croissants and a can of pellegrino total was almost $11. Good place and...

Decent bakery in Old Montreal. I went on a Friday morning before 9am and there was a short line, but the wait was long as there was only one person working. However, server was very kind.

The almond croissant was ok - there was not enough almond flavour in my opinion. However, my friend really liked it. The matcha latte did not have enough matcha flavour and just tasted like milk.

I don't like that prices of the pastries are not listed. Two almond croissants and a matcha latte and was $18... but I have no idea what the cost per item is. There is one big table to sit at, but it seems like more of a grab and go bakery.

With so many bakeries in Old Montreal, not sure I'd go again. However, a lot of people were going in and out, so it seems like a well loved bakery/cafe...
