There are two things we particularly love here: Montreal and sweets. And if there's one treat that transcends cultures and continents, it's the cookie, or biscuit, in french.
The word "biscuit" dates back to the Middle Ages and comes from the Old French "bescuit," which literally meant "baked twice," referring to a baking method once used to better preserve these foods.
Today, the most memorable cookies are those we prefer slightly soft, rich in butter, and fresh out of the oven.
In Montreal, bakeries, cafés, and pastry shops compete creatively to make them ever more indulgent. Golden around the edges, tender in the center, and sometimes generously topped with melted chocolate, caramel, toasted nuts, or creamy frosting, the cookie is much more than a simple treat: it's a little dose of comfort with every bite.
Whether enjoyed with a cup of coffee, as a late-night snack, a decadent dessert, or simply on a sweet whim with a tall glass of cold milk, cookies have that rare power to transform an everyday moment into pure pleasure.
Get ready to discover spots where cookies are anything but ordinary.
